Statement of the RoC President at the 61st UN Gen. Assembly

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

BBF is a matter of interpretation, and as we've seen, the interpreters keep changing the rules.

I suppose all politicians are like that - probably from birth :)

BBF was agreed back in 1975 and is the only basis we have been able to incorporate in a plan put to referendum.

There's more real dialogue on this forum than there is between our politicians.

Did you see that Greece & Turkey will be conducting joint military exercises? http://www.reportfromcyprus.com/Politics.htm

Those countries are starting to move on - we're still stuck in a trap created by history.

A bit like Northern Ireland. UK and Eire get on very well now.

Yes, there may be some interesting reactions, Bananiot.

Almost as interesting as when it dawns on our hallowed leaders that Greek Cypriot and Turkish troops will be in the same UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

The hollow clang of irony rings again.

Sorry mate but in his address to the EU your representative made a slight error you see he thinks he owns the whole Island
This is an extract from the first line of his address regarding the Cyprus issue

“Let me now turn to the Cyprus problem, a problem of invasion and continuing occupation, by Turkish military forces, of 37% of the territory of my country”

Notice the “My Country bit? “

You see that’s the problem that caused all these years of grief, he speaks of the Greek Cypriot government and my country (Cyprus) if he spoke of a Cypriot government maybe the world would listen. You fools just cannot see that Enosis has already happened in the south. You are governed by a greek puppet government and don’t know it,

Lets face it up to the island being annexed by Britain it was owned by Turkey and has only ever been dominated by the Greeks in those pre 74 years and we all know what happened to a considerable slice of the population then.

The North bit of Cyprus is gong to remain for the Turkish Cypriots a safe haven, their own bit of the world where they are safe and free from any attempts to wipe them out. There are 40.000 serious looking Turkish troops here to defend them and more than 10.000 resident brits who are supporting them.

You think Puppetdopolous ( an ex self confessed Eoka killer ) will ever rule the north ? it would be funny if it wasn’t so outrageous.



True freedom has a hidden price,
for you to have it. Everyone must have it.
Otherwise it’s just a dream you hold
for if you deny it to others, someday you will wake and find that your own freedom was but a dream,
and has gone with the waking.

Rather ironic isn't it that in order to achieve that they had to 'wipe' out the Greek Cypriot population from that bit of Cyprus.
