UN responds to Papadopoulos' money allegations

* UNFICYP says the United Nations has always supported the activities of NGOs working towards settlement in Cyprus

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANKARA - Turkish Daily News

The U.N. peacekeeping force in Cyprus has responded to allegations by Greek Cypriot leader Tassos Papadopoulos that the United Nations gave money to the Greek Cypriots to convince them to vote for Secretary-General Kofi Annan's plan to reunite the island.

A spokesman for the UNFICYP, the U.N. peacekeeping mission on the island, said U.N. organizations have always supported those nongovernmental organizations that worked to promote a bi-communal settlement in Cyprus.

The Greek Cypriots voted overwhelmingly against Annan's reunification plan, which was supported by Turkish Cypriots in an April 24 referendum.

Papadopoulos said the United Nations had given money to the Greek Cypriot side to get a "yes" vote for the plan prior to the referendum and added that Annan's then special envoy for Cyprus, Alvaro de Soto, had sent him a letter stating that the United Nations had provided money to the Greek Cypriots in the name of promoting a settlement in Cyprus.

UNFICYP spokesman Brian Kelly confirmed there was a letter from Alvaro de Soto to Papadopoulos but declined to distribute copies of it, saying this would be against U.N. norms.

It said U.N. organizations have been engaged in efforts to promote settlement in Cyprus for the last decade and have been supporting activities of nongovernmental organizations in Cyprus, which have been working towards that end.

Annan's reunification plan failed because of rejection by the Greek Cypriot side and due to Papadopoulos persistently campaigning for a "no" vote in the April 24 referendum.

Papadopoulos has hit the rock bottom. There has never been a president in the whole civilised world who behaved in such a way. In the meantime he is sued by "Politis" newspaper for alleging that reporters from the paper and other media have been paid by the Americans in order to promote the "yes" vote. A couple of months ago he referred to the people that voted "yes" as nenekides, meaning traitors (in the greek history a nenekis is one that sides with the enemy). This is a president from the past who knows no bounds and has no respect for the opinion of his opponents. In short, he is a dangerous man.

tassos see's the tc as the enemy and hence to him it is a dream come true that the gc side is in the E.U and feels that the world is his oyster, and will never let unification happen while he is at the top.

He will play the game for all its worth and try and make it look as if he is really trying, but we all know that his agenda is division for ever.

No!!!!
A Nenekis is one who urges the people to abandon every effort because it is hopeless to try anything against a stronger opponent.
There is a lot of difference with what you said.
If everyone would abide to that principle maybe the whole Europe would be under the Nazis today!

ok, so according to Bananiot, Papadopoulos is worst than lets say Ecevit that order the invasion, or Hitler.
This is just to show that how much these people hate the choice of the majority, and that they are so blinded by this hate they can not see clearly.

This is a president from the past who knows no bounds and has no respect for the opinion of his opponents.


Where is your respect??? You throw all these mad to him every day and when he replies once a while you come and say that he shows no respect???

This is a president from the past


The past, the present, Papadopoulos forever! :lol: :lol:



In short, he is a dangerous man.


Dangerous to our enemies. Thats why they pay people like the "journalists" of politis to put all these mad at him. If he was not dangerous for their interests they wouldn't try so much to harm him.

I shall repeat what I said before, and that is to not underestimate Papadopoulos.

At first I was totally against him. Now, I am convinced that he is probably the only GC politician that has the balls to stand up for the rights of all Cypriots. The plight of the TC's is of their own making and, yes, Papadopoulos is not making many concessions, but the reason is that he wants the TC's to use the RoC to gain their rights, not by recognising the puppet regime in the north.

You have to admit that the doomsters have so far been proved wrong.
