...just an update.
Mavroyiannis said that while a milestone was achieved in the Swiss resort, with Turkey, for the first time in the history of the Cyprus problem, agreeing negotiating territorial matters, security and guarantees, “we left at the most critical juncture.”
He said President Anastasiades, at the behest of Christodoulides, walked out, on the pretext he needed to discuss matters with Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Akel chief Andros Kyprianou. This led Mavroyiannis to conclude that “a decision was taken to pull out.”
Asked about his cooperation with Christodoulides, he pointed to Christodoulides’ negative influence over the president and accused him of “undermining my advice to the president.”
Adding further that “when I say undermine, I don’t mean to say that I am necessarily in the right and the other is in the wrong, but rather to say that there have been competing approaches to various issues climaxing to our exit from Mont Pelerin and with our failure to promptly and sufficiently submit our proposals.”
“When we left Crans Montana, we were discussing the convergences of the two sides, but then we inserted the idea of a two-state solution, decentralization and a return to the 1960 constitution,” Mavroyiannis added, in a clear dig at Anastasiades.
Nikos Christodoulides' program includes a special chapter on the humanitarian problem of missing persons, as well as a special chapter with proposals for a coherent state policy for Turkish Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriot community, in order to prevent the alienation of Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
...well said.
...while AKEL has had elected a Turkish Cypriot MEP, they have done nothing in my mind since then to demonstrate their commitment to Cypriots as Individuals, a vanguard daring to join the interests of Cypriots Greek and Turkish in public demonstration against the "Turkishness" (like the "Greekness") which continues to tear 'us' apart.
(i would have thought that by now i'd see Cypriots gathered together doing what they do best, making souvla on the beach, and under the flag "They" treat as a rag the Flag of Cyprus.)
...DISY should be doing the same.
