...for the first time in a long time, i have not read two speeches one conjoined to the other, that demonstrate what makes an end to the solitudes of this people now isolated from each other so impossible three months from now, with the start of 2009.

However within the components of these speeches we have clues as to how a Federal system of government will divide the Jurisdictions, between itself and the National Assemblies which must be created for there to exist a Bicommunal nature in our politic, a Principal we are commited to as a State.

the issue of missing persons
education
Cypriot Patrimony
"property issue", the displaced
isolation

these are issues that are important to both parties, albeit from different perspectives.

"As the Turkish Cypriot side, we want to establish a new partnership state in Cyprus, based on the political equality of the two peoples and which is composed of two constituent states of equal status. We believe that Cyprus could be unified under such a framework and that we can stand before the world with a single international identity", says Talat.

Christofias said, that Turkey must contribute to the process in a positive way, adding that he expects Ankara to rise to the occasion and fulfil its obligations arising from its efforts to join the EU. Turkey refuses to recognise the ‘Republic of Cyprus’, which joined the EU in May 2004, and has yet to open its ports and airports to Greek Cypriot flagged vessels and aircraft, as demanded by the EU.

thus: two National Assemblies, one State; three governments, one Cyprus.

So more or less Talat wants to continue to operate as two states, just like we have right now, but legalised version of it. "equalities of two people'... someone has to teach mr Talat that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are not two people, there is one human kind and we are not different, we are diverse and that diversity is not between two communities but many.

...not so, he wants to have a State that will act as a guarantor for his people.

if there are two equal communities, there must also exist a force which will be strong enough to have them abide by Principals where as equals they can sustain themselves in security while expressing inclusiveness, without the fear of assimilation.
