Accuracy is definately not among Kifeas strongest "elements!
(quoting Kifeas from another forum):D


Cyprus Mail:
Between 1974 and 1996, the Greek Cypriot side supplied all the electricity needs of the north until the Kyrenia station was up and running. This had cost the EAC a total of $162 million for the 22-year period. The money was never paid by the Turkish Cypriot side.

Joe if all of us gc and tc follow the "strict" positions, then I CAN guarantee you that there will NEVER be a solution... Please be kind and remember what happened when there were two earthquakes one in Greece and one in Turkey.. both countries helped each other in those situations. Politics is one thing and human life is another. Of course the political situation in these countries has never been better.

My 2 c worth.

I am just curious if you guys are actually reading what i write. There is no strict position that i hold. I am simply stating the obvious. Kifeas on two forums felt the need to correct posters who mentioned that electricity was being offered for free. The quote about Accuracy is a quote that Kifeas made to another poster from another forum. His remark was harsh, not mine. Allow me to reiterate once more, give them electricity all they need but do not jump on posters who feel that that it is being offered for free. No one will question me about "propaganda loaded references" to free, as if to imply that we dont have the good interests at heart for the tcs. Well its not about propaganda,its not about money, most likely, this electricity we are offering is for free. I state it because past experience points to this. Is my answer more clear or should i write it in Greek?

Why dont the turks make a goodwill gesture and hand some land back to the greeks ?
The cyprus government dont want a solution to the occupation because it will cost to much money, and the cypriot people are only intrested in making money and are all talk and no action.
The turks know all this thats why they will never return what they have stolen.

THE TURKISH Cypriot authorities said yesterday the north would need to continue importing electricity from the Republic for a further two weeks – 10 days more than initially agreed between the north and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC).

Last Wednesday the north requested purchasing electricity from the EAC for 10 days after the breakdown of two of its 60 KW turbines in the Kyrenia area. The EAC responded positively by saying it would supply the north from reserves, as long as it id not create a shortfall in the south’s own supplies.

Speaking to the Cyprus Mail ‘agricultural minister’ Huseyin Oztoprak said the north would not be ready to satisfy its own electricity needs for “approximately 15 more days” because of ongoing repairs to the two broken turbines.

Oztoprak’s statement came as a surprise to EAC spokesman Costas Gavrielides, who told the Mail the north’s initial request had been for just 10 days power supply from last Wednesday, and that he could not guarantee a continuous supply for a further 10 days.

“We explained before that if we can provide the power we will, but it’s not something they can rely on indefinitely,” Gavrielides said.

He added that power being supplied to the north was coming out of the south’s “spare capacity” and that “if something goes wrong on this side, we will not be able to supply them”.

Asked whether the EAC would be willing to step in every time the north ran out of power Gavielides said, “This spare capacity cannot be dedicated to them [Turkish Cypriots]. Providing permanent power needs planning and investment”.

He added that the surplus being provided to the north was being taken from the south “emergency surplus” and that priority would be given to the south if extra power was needed.

“If they had asked for power during the summer, we would not have been able to provide it because of the extra demand from the tourism industry,” he said.

Oztoprak expressed gratitude towards the EAC for its willingness to bridge the gap in supplies, but said it had come at a price, costing around 70 per cent more than electricity produced in the north.

He added his belief that the north’s electricity woes would soon come to an end when four new mini-turbines come into operation “within the next nine months”.
