Good point! All, or most of my posts, are manly geared in persuading our Greek Cypriot brothers that the Turkish people, whether from Cyprus or Turkey, will never accept a federal deal that falls short of the Annan Plan. The UN, U.S and the E.U are all in agreement to this. The only people who are not, and who believe in a pure Federal formula with no guarantees, inter states or Annan style scenarios is us (The Greek Cypriot people of Cyprus). For some strange reason, we believe, like how the events of 1974 are taboo in our eyes, that the Turks will suddenly say,
"Oh Yes, let's all sign a pure federal deal and live peaceful side by side as if the past was as sweat as sugar"
,
"And, don't worry about Turkey as they are going home with no bad feelings as they no longer have any interests on the island, AND will ACTUALLY leave us all alone".
Please everyone. The only reason why Christofias is so bent in starting such a peace process is because he knows that the north would become recognised, or at least operate like Taiwan if the Cyprus issue is ignored.
Therefore, what I am saying is for our ROC to come clean on this affair, a bit like the situation of Czechoslovakia maybe and end it once and for all. Otherwise, if we sign a FEDERAL DEAL, like with the Dual FORMER Serbia/Montenegro Republic, we will one day wake up with a recognised Turkish Cypriot State and us with the remains of a
former UNITED FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS.
It may not be realised by some of our hopefuls today, but I have been around for too long to BELIEVE that this process is any different from the many others before it.
Thus, let's push our leaders into averting a disaster in the future, as once we've signed away the ROC - it can NEVER BE BROUGHT BACK!!!!!!!
If you don't believe me - Continue what you are doing!!!!!!!
