Linking property and territory and Varosi... a way forward.

This is what Stephanou is reported as saying in the CY Weekly today...

“Linking the issues of property, territorial adjustment and (Turkish) settlers will create the conditions to push forward the negotiation process”, said Stephanou, noting that the SG adopts this position, which is also the position of the Greek Cypriot side.

He also pointed out that acceptance by the Turkish side of the balanced proposal of the Greek Cypriot side on the Turkish occupied city and port of Famagusta will also give a great impetus and momentum to the negotiations.

President Demetris Christofias has proposed the opening of the port of Famagusta, to be managed jointly by Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, under EU auspices.

Crisis Group has detailed in four reports since 2006 how the interests of the 1.1 million Cypriots and outside parties would be best met with a comprehensive political settlement. This remains the ideal, but as it is unrealistic in the coming months, the sides should move ahead with unilateral steps such as the following, each of which could build confidence and help establish an environment more conducive to an overall agreement:

•Turkey should open its ports and airports to Greek Cypriot sea and air traffic, meeting its signed 2005 obligation to implement the Additional Protocol to its EU Customs Union, and also permit Greek Cypriot aircraft to transit its airspace.
•Greek Cypriots should allow the port of Famagusta to handle Cypriot (including Turkish Cypriot) trade with the EU, under Turkish Cypriot management and EU supervision; end their practice of blocking Turkey’s EU negotiating chapters; and, in the event of trade beginning with Turkey after it implements the Additional Protocol, open up the Green Line to the passage of Turkish goods so that Turkish Cypriots can also benefit.
•Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots should hand back property in the Turkish-military controlled ghost resort of Varosha to its Greek Cypriot owners, subject to a UN interim regime that oversees reconstruction.
•Greek Cypriots should allow charter flights to Ercan Airport in the Turkish Cypriot zone, monitored by the EU.
•Turkey, Greece, the UK and the two Cypriot communities should put in place a mechanism to verify troop numbers on the island. Similarly, the Turkish Cypriot leadership should organise with Greek Cypriots a census to determine the exact population of the island and the legal status of its inhabitants.
•Greek Cypriots should cooperate with Turkish Cypriot administrative entities, pending a political settlement. Turkish officials should meet with Greek Cypriot officials, and Turkish Cypriots should be supportive.
•The European Commission, supported by the EU Presidency, should continue to serve as an honest broker to secure agreement on interim steps. Leaders of EU member states should avoid partisan statements at a time when UN talks continue and no one party is being clearly obstructive.

Some good steps here, I think. I disagree that they should all be implemented simulatneously, though, because it seems like a lot all at once and I think there would be many more who hold Piratis' opinion that the GCs' main bargaining chips would be spent. I think one at a time with a set time frame and order for when each point should be met. Also, I don't understand why Varosha can't simply be handed back to the RoC and lots of crossing ports opened between it and Famagusta in order to create the feeling of a "bicommunal" zone.

I think something which is overlooked in these points is to do something about the settlers; the north can change its immigration, settlement, and naturalisation procedures to be in line with and supported by the EU.

Constructively speaking, All Cypriots(Greek, Turk) who are of true Cypriot descent...should constructively sit down together formulate some sort of plan and get this thing solved already.....

I suppose Turkey also feels they don't want to give up their prime bargaining chip by handing back Varosha...Years ago I made a suggestion that Varosha should be given to UN and opened up to any Cypriot who wants to live together with other Cypriots irrespective of their ethnic background...No one is prepared to think outside the square,it seems... :(
