GR you seem to have a fixation with certain things. Have you any proof that Christofias speaks no english? I think he does and he speaks russian too and much better greek than Papadopoulos. I remind you another of your fixations about Androula leaving Vasiliou. You ought to start seriously questioning your sources.

Pantheman, is it his nose you are in love with or the whole of his body?

Gosh, bananaidiot, if thats your best contribution, i had better watch out ! Very Happy

GR, thanks for the welcome, i look forward to chatting.

I understadn the difficulty for Turkish Cypriots to move south, but it is not impossible, and the arguement we should be able to vote AND live in the north is not really an arguement that they could use to be honest (why should anyone be able to vote if they are not living within the jurisdictional area a government is in? - that would be having their cake and eating it i think!)

I'm catching up on this thread. Dhavlos, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with you at all when you say Turkish Cypriots cannot live in the north and vote in the south. You have no valid arguments in a number of ways:

If we're going to go with pure legality perspective, there's nowhere in the Republic of Cyprus constitution that states that Turkish Cypriots cannot live in the north and vote in the south.

It's true that Republic of Cyprus cannot exercise its authority in the north but this doesn't mean that it should exclude Turkish Cypriots just because they happen to live in the north. I don't understand the concern here. The only valid concern could be those Turkish Cypriots who participate in the elections of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Since Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, by the virtue of its existence, is against the Republic of Cyprus, I can see how the Republic of Cyprus cannot allow a Turkish Cypriot to participate in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Republic of Cyprus at the same time. But if a Turkish Cypriot publicly announces his/her alliance with only the Republic of Cyprus and nothing else, I don't see why where a Turkish Cypriot resides on a day to day basis should be any concern to the Republic of Cyprus.

Your argument, or lack thereof, does not make any sense politically either. There are a lot of Turkish Cypriots who would love to participate in the Republic of Cyprus and if that happens, they'll have more arguments against Turkish Cypriot nationalists for peaceful coexistence of Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. Greek Cypriots, by allowing Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus, could gain the much needed confidence of Turkish Cypriots and this can only help for a solution and not hurt it. If Greek Cypriots sincerely want Turkish Cypriots to abandon their idea of a seperate entity in the north, they should at least provide an alternative for Turkish Cypriots to hold onto. What can be a better alternative than the only legal agreed solution so far between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, i.e. the Republic of Cyprus?

Last but not least, many Turkish Cypriots, like myself, live in the north (at least when I'm home) because they happen to be born in the north. It's not our fault that we were born in the north and for most of us, we don't have a choice but live in a de facto state. We're not politicians, we're just ordinary people. Unless you think that the Cyprus problem exists purely because Turkish Cypriots chose to live in the north, there's no valid argument for denying Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus just because they live in the north.

I just don't understand why Greek Cypriots do not see that by allowing Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus, they can score huge points against Turkey and those who want a seperate state in the north. I consider this another missed opportunity wasted by Greek Cypriots.

i wasnt particularly clear when i posted what i posted, sorry. What i have highlighted in bold in your post, is what i meant. I was a bit lazy in my typing beforehand Razz

lol

just a small question (without trying to deviate too much from the topic, sorry) ... if a Turkish Cypriot wants to vote in Republic of Cyprus, declares alligence etc, what happens about paying taxes etc? and the logistics of it etc? i dont know much about the legality of how stuff like that would work.

And sorry if i offended mete, but like i said, ive highlighted what i meant. Smile

Is he not Eastern-block “educated”, you know that part of the world where you can purchase a PhD for around CY 5,000? I hear they study in their native languages there… never mind English. I guess Christofias must’ve learned English through a correspondence course or something!

Where did you dig that one up? Anyway, I’m confident that if you were to go back and compare our predictions from the past year you’d find that mine have like 95% come to pass and yours have done very poorly. I remind you:

The end of the EU road for Turkey (2007). (I said by the END of 2007 but it happened even sooner)

Cyprus’ offensive build-up. (From 2005 onwards Cyprus has officially changed military status in case you haven’t noticed)

Cyprus’ upgraded EU status. (Cyprus has been made the official Med. EU Civil Aviation hub. Do you appreciate what this means?)

Cyprus’ international isolation not coming to pass. (Excellent Alliance with France and SERIOUS firepower received with a concurrent break-away from Greece (a useless “partner”))

The official Turkish Cypriot taksim agenda surfacing for all to see, even the blind. (no comment here!)

No recognition in sight for the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (Ankara pulls the strings on how the Turkish Cypriot’s live on the inside and the Republic of Cyprus control how the Turkish Cypriot’s interact with the outside)

The Ledra street never opening and why. (Do I need to expand on this?)

…and a few others I can’t recall right now. I should start charging you guys. So what are you going to pay me to give you an analysis for the next 2-3 years?

If a Turkish Cypriot lives in the north but works in the south, then no problem, taxes can be paid in the south since the income is earned there. If a Turkish Cypriot works in the north though, it gets a little tricky and I don't have an easy answer but I'm sure something can be worked out. If there's a will, there's a way.

No, I'm not offended at all. It looks like we're on the same page anyway.

GR are you saying that the answer to whether Christofias (or anyone else) speaks English or not is a matter of prediction? Interesting! Pantheman, I fell in love with her beautiful green eyes but made a mistake to marry the whole body ... your sense of humour exceeds that of your protege by a whisker.

Bananaidiot, when you have something worth talking about, please let me know, otherwise shut up.

You have a fixation on noses and male bodies, you are on the wrong forum mate. Try google with Fetish as the search word you may have more success.

I won't waste anymore time with you.

I don't recall saying that but I do recall you questioning my sources of information so I thought I would remind you that the predictions of my previous posts weren’t that wild after all.

I'll remind you of one of your recent posts to me on your board...

You need to get out of this habit of embarrassing yourself all the time; If not for yourself then do it for your kids.

That was on another forum (and if you are man enough prove me wrong) and on this forum the rules are clear, you yet again prove what a deceptive and underhand little man you are, i repeat refrain from name calling or warnings and a ban will ensue, this is non-debateable and if you don't like it.....well as your pantheman says...get lost and don't come back Wink

Thank you for your advise pantheman but I did not mean to offend you (despite you twisting my name, rather childishly I thought), it is your political spirit I am after, rest assure. However, name calling bigots are not usually noted for their sharp sense of humour. Get Real, I bet you Christofias speaks better english, russian and greek than Tassos but I will not ask you to switch alliance because I suspect the reasons you choose Papadopoulos rest elsewhere.
