What he actually said is that until a solution is found the current situation is the next possible alternative.
Did he say anything invalid?
Does this mean he wants partition?
Come on Bananiot, play the record again, Akritas Plan, rejection of all proposals blah,blah, squeeeeaaaaaK
Of course it means partition. Only blind people cannot see this. Only people that show blind dedication to Papadopoulos cannot see where he is leading our country. If the current situation stays for another 20 or 30 years there will be nothing to negotiate. For a start the settlers will be the vast majority by then in the north and the GC properties will be no longer as hotels and other buildings will be erected on them. The TC's will claim their property in the south and thats that.
Tassos was the vice leader of Akritas plan. Yiorgatzis was the leader. Both are children of the same womb. Both are (were, for Yorkatzis moved upstairs some time ago) fanatical supporters of the purity of the greek race and they wouldn't shake the hand of a turkish cypriot, let alone give them share of power. Tasos rejected all plans for an honorable solution and if someone knows anything different, then please let us know. Tasos took an oath to spend the last drop of his blood for enosis, just like Denktash for taksim. They are identical twins, from that respect.
These are the people that hold our future in their hands and if this does not scare you then good luck to you.
Bananiot I would never ever blindly or with my eyes fully open support any politician, or any other crook.Because they are all crooks to me.
I approve or disaprove the actions Papadopoulos takes towards the Cyprus Problem and that's it.
And I beleive this is what the majority of the GCs do.
On the other hand you are the one who argues using the same non-convincing arguments over and over again.
Well, if he wants partition, then why did he send an urgent letter in Feb 2004 asking the UN to resume talks on the Anan Plan?
he has to be seen to be doing something or risks alienating the international community, in short he is playing games and some of the demands he has made hold no water on the bases that they can never be agreed upon.
But the fact is, the TC's have a legal means to get out of the situation they are in. They choose not to take it, because they don't recognise those legal means that the rest of the world considers legal.
You can't expect people to do things for you. You have the means to get out of your current situation. The challenge is for you to take it!
the legal means you suggest is accepting the ROC as is now with no settlement, that is not right, as you are trampling out human rights and dignity while you are at it.
You will be accepting the RoC based on its founding principles.
You will be reclaiming your rights and you will be able to challenge the RoC on a level playing field. Remeber, that we are now in the EU. You have more power as individuals than you ever did. TAKE THE CHANCE WHILST YOU HAVE IT! We can then all sit down as Cypriots and sort our problems amicably and in a cooperative spirit.
There seems to be a barrier that needs to be broken down. You are given every opportunity to take back your rights. The only thing stopping you is Turkey, not Tassos!
