As I have said before, there is not just one way to a solution of this problem. The report has shown that some things just cannot be satisfied in a way that will bring about unification. I am not happy about that because in a perfect world that is exactly what we should have but it is not achievable with in the present framework and the RoC is not willing to budge an inch to realise it. We can sit about and resent each other for decades to come but what will that achieve. It will cement Turkey in place forever and cause the TCs a great deal of hardship. This siege mentality is obviously not working and Turkey will see to it that it never does and I am with them 100% in that respect. This is the fault of the RoC for not talking to the people that mattered and that is the TCs themselves. This report recognises that and just by saying that it is not the EU it self changes nothing in terms of the message that it gives out. When is the RoC going to recognise that it is failing. It is failing in its quest to starve out the TC people and it is failing in its quest to win over the world with its propaganda. They conned their way into the EU through the back door and now they think they can stand at the front door and tell us we are incorrectly dressed to enter our selves. Their ordacity is beyond belief and it seems beyond the tolerance of the US and the EU.
Zan , as I posted earlier on a number of times I opposed the AP , although I wasnt in Cyprus and did not cast my vote. The question to you is this.
Do you accept that to the vast majority of Cypriots the Turkish troops are seen as an occupation force. This is the fundamental issue here, that these 4o thousand or so Turkish occupation troops were to be given an "extended" geographical area of intervention along with Turkey of course. Security issue was the predominant factor along with the fact that the continuing presence of Occupation troops would have been made perfectly legal with the AP.
I have asked my self this question. Would my T/C compatriots feel comfortable with 40 thousand Greek troops in Cyprus , and I honestly believe they would most definitely not , you must also put this question to your self in reverse and do come up with an honest answer.
Another objectionable AP inclusion was the division of the Cypriot police stations into 50 -50 , I have no problem with this division , but I do have a problem with the G/C and T/C manned stations flying foreign flags, I would most certainly object to the Turkish and Greek flags representing Cypriot police stations.Ask your self where on earth did anyone get the idea that Cyprus was being re united.
The road management issues were even worst, with either the G/Cs or T/Cs in "possession " of some roads whilst the those not in possession would have the right to build" bypasses "
I have always advocated a united Cyprus but the AP was nothing of the sort. Can I just say also that I m not the guy that can easily be manipulated in my way of thinking by politicians , the media or other means. I read the Plan in black and white I analysed it with my logic and found nowhere any "unification " areas , co opearation in some areas yes , but no unification.
My profound reason was the fact that I saw this Plan as a dangerous one and one that would lead our nation into more conflicts in the future , bearing in mind the erer presence of such inflammatory nationalistic elements as foreign flags on our police stations , the continuing presence of an army that the majority see as an occupying force the alternating presidency period and the cementing of a partition disguised as unification.
