Basically how the GCs translate Talat's hasty attitude is like hey "lets sit down and talk have the most official high level deadlock as soon as possible so we cash our yes vote either with a return of Anan Plan or partition". If Talat was really sincere there should be progress either regarding Famagusta or at the technical committees. None of the 2 happened.

What puzzles me is the new initiative of the UN for 2007 was already announced to be around the technical committees, which were actually formed after Papadopoulos initiative. If Papadopoulos was the obstacle for those committes to have produced results, then the UN would have no reason to continue them. So if it wasn't Papadopoulos fault, then who's fault was it?

Congratulations to Mr Talat ..... I think it is timely for them to meet. Papadopoulos cannot ignore Mr Talat anymore, the reality is he does exist. Whether he is recognised by the international community or not. I just hope they achieve something.

Humanist i'm sure you mean well, but why shouldn't Tpap ignore him ? He (and turkey) have ignored numerous UN resolutions against them, ignore the human rights of the GC, ignored the plea to give back our land, ignored all human rights issues, shall i go on ...????

Its always about the TCs, they are the good guys and we the bad, i'm sick of hearing it.

the international community is guilty of not doing its job against turkey, if it were iraq they would be hang them all.

It is they (Turkey) who are the invaders, it is they who hold our land by force, it is they that have tens of thousands of troops to keep us out, it is they who have ethinaclly cleansed us and our religion, it is they who violate our human rights. Why the F#ck should we not ignore them since they are the violators.

I haven't seen a fair settlement yet, the RoC is fighting all international governments (especially the UK, USA et al) just to keep its own country. The should all be ashamed of them selves. They themselves voted for the UN resolutions against turkey, but have not taken the necessary action, they just keep on making out the GC are the bad guys.

Talat may mean well, but come on, even the TC know turkey is pulling all the strings here and i don't beleive otherwise. Its just a political stunt to catch the headlines as usual.

They,they they pantherman.
Who is keeping "they" here, us or the TCs?
Don't you just listen how the TCs in here respond to our pledges for demilitarisation.
No they say, we need Turkey to feel secure, we are afraid of you...
What they are actually afraid is not the GCs themselves but of having to give back the properties they now hold illegally.

Lets be grateful that in the USA and in Britain there are influential Cypriots who are fighting our corner and convincing the Americans and the British that Cyprus is pro American and pro British in spite of all the injustices that have occurred. Our biggest fear is the possibility that the US along with Britain could one day , unless there is progress made for a solution , recognise the "trnc" That would be the end of any hope for a united Cyprus.
Can we please bear in mind that all super powers through out history put their own interests above all else , precisely what the US is doing presently since she has far far more to gain by appeasing Turkey than befriending a nation that she once referred to as the Cuba of the Mediterranean.

Finaly we should take a little time to consider our "importance "to the world , a small island with less than a million people , the island is of the utmost importance serving the interests of the West , but are the people ?? Does the West really care that much for the people if the people are anti West. I wonder.
