The surprise will be if Ozersay comes up with anything other than the usual cynical Turkish crap.

Neither rep is meeting with the top man just some clerk who will take a message, what an insult.

Can our negotiators piss on the Great Grave?

The TC rep met for 5 hours and the GC rep only 3 hours, everyone appears pleased to have met with the assistant of the assistant of the assistant of the top man. It was not even news on Turkish TV last night....after all these years you would have thought they could have given it a few seconds of coverage.

Why? They do not hold official posts in any capacity they are simply 2 individuals that represent their communities in a negotiation. There is no protocol for meeting with individuals. Now had Turkey been clever (and I'm guessing they were but got shot down) they should have rolled out the marching band, the red carpet, the foreign minister should be at the door ready to greet him so that they'd indirectly upgrade their guy who was let in via the back door of the ministry in Athens.

As far as I can make out you are right they regarded the reps as people of countries they do not recognize so they were not given the official importance as bestowed on leaders and foreign diplomats, we are used to it but for you GCs it must have been a shock.

Quite the contrary! He is not an official of the state and we wouldn't have it any other way. Otherwise we wouldn't have allowed for your negotiator to visit a kebab shop in Athens let alone someone's assistant.

So what are you saying that your rep is not an official of a state? therefore he met with an assistant of an assistant?

by **boulio** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 4:59 pm

you have to look at it on the flip side VP,would the edrogan govt risk meeting a official of the ROC With the current political turmoil in Ankara.THE OPPISITION WOULD BE SCREAMING FOR NOOSES.

Thats correct. He is there in his capacity as a representative of the GC community and not the Govt of Cyprus. VP we don't have any complexes about recognition you must remember. Our flag flies high in Brussels, NY and all the capitals in the world from our embassies. Our President gets head of state protocol when visiting a country, yours needs to wait at the carousel for his luggage.

So its no skin off our nose if these 2 guys represent their communities rather than the state.
