Mr Erdogan also added the following: Russia is sending a group of businessmen to the island in the beginning of November. I talked on the phone with the honorable Putin. I talked to (former German Chancellor Gerhard) Schroeder about sending a German group to Cyprus. We will also talk to (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel about this issue. We will also demand her support in this regard. Currently (UN Secretary-General Kofi) Annan is taking an initiative. We should see the results of his initiative."

| To tell you the truth, I'm sick of hearing news like "Russians are coming to the north", "Azeris are flying directly to the north" and all that. Who the hell cares??? Do we (Turkish Cypriots) want unification or do we only care about recognition? |

An old turkish saying comes to mind "ipin iki ucunu tutmak lazin" translation "its best to hold both ends of the rope".
The Turkish Cypriot have being sitting doing nothing for 30 years waiting for a solution that does not arrive and presently the tassos regime has no interest in at least negotiating hence they are trying to survive in this political jungle and not carry on being a victim for another 30 years. |
