"Unless the existence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus [KKTC] is acknowledged; that the equal existence of the Turkish Cypriot state on the island is accepted; that unless the right to sovereignty of the Turkish Cypriot people is acknowledged; that unless the Greek Cypriot side abandons their claim of being the representative of the whole island, including the Turkish Cypriot people, no outcome can emerge from any meeting. If these could be achieved, rather than exerting pressure that would bring the two leaders together, a settlement would be within reach,"......Said by the late Turkish Foreign Minister Ismail Cem in 1999! (and he was a Social Democrat!)
....Isn't it funny that after so many years, we are still at the same stage without an acceptable agreement, and because of the intransigent stance of the Greek Cypriot leadership in demanding their false policy of "Majority Rules", NOTHING has been achieved besides the gradual upgrading of the TRNC.
I have pasted the above here in this forum as many people are now reading this forum from many countries - please watch what you are saying; keep it clean and civilized as you don't want the world to read how the people on the ground truly despise each other!
