WTF are all you people doing in here wasting your time over water?

Do you seriously think that this daft topic is worth a 200-page thread?

The "project of the century" happens and there is not ONE decent pic of the installations on the Cyprus side. Not one broad take on video, not a single news item (and I have looked in international media, not local partisan stuff).

What is beyond doubt is the row brewing over who will manage the water. Funny that nothing was said till the eve of the inauguration for the obvious to be asked: who pays? The end user naturally, and the owners of the water want the collector to be a private company, ie a profit making agency, while the end users want a communal-municipal agency.

How all this is better than a TC owned and managed network of desal plants, which would have cost a lot less, with EU financing to boot, and would deliver equal amounts of water, with land based maintenance facilities, is beyond a reasonable person's analytical ability.

What was the goal anyway? To provide water for the TCs or to advertise Turkey? Or maybe set the stage for a "water for gas" deal in the style of "offer you can't refuse" type of deal?

At the end of the day Turkey controls the source, it makes FA difference about who controls "our" end. TC's have for too long gotten used to freeloading, time they started paying for something for once.

...if the benefit provides for Cypriot needs, then Turkey will have this capacity, to remove the tarnish from her image. Cyprus may benefit from this water, as a form of recognition, and as a form of compensation, yet. We may benefit from the pipeline, if it extends beyond to the wider region. At present what we see is a careless release of water, from somewhere unknown, erosion and all.

...if the benefit is strictly a private venture, these results do not bode well. The water is neither "Turkish", Turkish, "Greek", Greek, or Cypriot. It is a valuable resource and belongs to the Planet, we are but stewards.

...yiasou halil. indeed, i am willing to believe, where are the facts?

water is free. the question is who is responsible for distribution. local authorities have been responsible for distribution thus far and should continue wit that.

...75% of the infrastructure, as yet unbuilt, i remind you; to be "equals". Then the question becomes, why is it not built, why does it have to be built, beside, ''who'' will build it, and who profits from "its" being built.

"water is free", don't make me laugh. Cypriots will pay for this water, unless it is to pay what is due.

trnc local authorities are building. there is not that much investment or aid coming into tcs rw. yavas yavas it will all be built. what has equals got to do with it.

how many times do i have to say it. there is no cost mentioned so far for supply the only cost mentioned is about distribution. so long we dont have any air pockets. if we get air pockets we know the cure for that to. shitface will suck it all out. problem solved.

Oh Gawd.... !!!

If two dodgy videos weren't enough, we now have a third one.

This is so obviously a normal stream feeding a reservoir presumably after some rainfall.

Any of you guzey boys like to post a fourth scammy video please.
