Hi Oracle,
I have No problem in referring to Christofias as a President, as long as it is realised that Talat is his Co-President!
Two Presidents, Two States!
You see Oracle, and probably most of the GCs in this forum. We Turkish Cypriot have no problem in giving up a little for a Two State formula, we have no issues with saying "Okay, you can have that bit that was owned by a Turk many moons ago", but the GCs do not want a compromise - this is where I clash with GR.
He strongly believes that a solution will just suddenly materialise, Turkey will be forced out of Cyprus and that the TCs will not want Turkey as a Guarantor country. I would even go forth and say that I'm sure GR actually believes that Turkey will chose the EU over Northern Cyprus.
Wrong!
Turkey will plough through its EU process until the EU decide and realise how much they WILL Desperately, one day, need Turkey - and not the other way around. When that happens, the Status Quo will become very much a reality and GR will eat his hat.
Unless.....of course you bid for a two state solution before hand.
You must admit though Oracle, due to the Annan situation, the GCs really don't have much to maneuver with.
Take care.
