Pauline Read on EU Committee demands return of Varosha and withdrawal of troops
Derelict Hotel Varosha
The Strasbourg-based European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee adopted on Wednesday a draft resolution calling on Turkey to hand over Varosha to Greek Cypriots. Varosha was once a prime vacation resort but is now in a military zone and closed to civilians. The GCs have been offered the town before but so far have turned down the offer. In fact in 2006, when Finland was the term president of the EU, there was a plan to open Famagusta port to international trade under EU administration in return for opening a limited number of Turkish ports to GC traffic. The transfer of Varosha to the United Nations was also part of the deal which fell through.
The committee also ask for the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the north and for Turkey to resolve the problems of GCs in Gökçeada and Bozcaada. The European Parliament will debate the draft resolution on Feb. 10 and voting will take place on Feb. 11.

Malcolm,
As I’ve already posted on Cy44, I certainly have missed the site over the past 10 days, and it’s good to have them back.
But I’d like to add a special vote of thanks to you for this site, too. It’s a very good one, and has provided me with a lot of inexpensive entertainment over the same period (an obvious invitation for some of those rowdy GCs to call me a cheapskate…
.
I won’t be deserting it. A daily glance here will continue to be a must, and if Jerry, Yiannis, Mr Real, Kyriacos and that clown calling himself Pte Pike run true to form, I’m sure I won’t be able to resist joining in the debate.
Thanks again.

I’ll second that – Thanks Mal and co for keeping alive the debate at this importnat juncture.
I’ll be recommending more people interested in the Cyprus Solution to look at the site – and address those who believe that property rights should prevail over peace, security and reconciliation head on!
I doubt if Yawn…Yawn…Yawnnniiisss et al will change their views they are too entrenched in the GC propaganda to sort the wheat from the chaff! But at least they know that they will be challenged and that there is another side to this issue

Thanks for that, it has been exciting! We’ve had 4,000 comments since we started in Sept 2009 (1500 spam) and about 500 probably came in the last few weeks!!! Perhaps I can concentrate on work now?

Who cares what EU says?

After their overwhelming “yes” vote in the referendum on Cyprus unification, Europe has been quick to reward Turkish Cypriots.
The Greek Cypriot “no” to the unification plan has been greeted with international dismay.
But the EU’s new policy points to swift and real benefits for their northern neighbours.
And it marks a positive landmark in the long history of the Cyprus dispute.
The European commissioner for enlargement, Guenter Verheugen, made clear after a meeting with EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg that the acceptance by the Turkish Cypriots of the UN-sponsored plan for unification would mean an end to their international isolation.

The last time the GC tried to kick arse (1974) they got a pretty good kicking from the Turks. Don’t suppose it would be much better if GCs ‘invaded’ Beverley Hills.

Lets project forward say 50 years and the EU has its much

wants to come out of the club. Do you think they would be
allowed to. The EU I voted for was to be trading partners
and just look how much power they have now. Be careful what

Steady on Troodo politics and religion a very heady mixture.
TRNC and Turkey are secular and as such you have the freedom
to follow whatever faith you have or none I hope the EU is also
I can understand your doubts.
I really hope Turkey never joins the EU which will mean we wont either. I can see the smoke coming out the G C ears. from here.
Cos I am only a girly, they will accuse me of stupidity and being
a cheapskate but if the alternative is being like them I’ll be
happy to be a stupid cheapskate

If they want to set Cyprus on fire again the best way is to get Turkey to remove the troops before a solution is found. Where do these people crawl from – it’s frightening.

Polly , as I said on a few occasions ,you should abandon the pathetic efforts to debate politics and stick to subjects that do not test your brain to the extreme , knitting , watching Eastenders maybe or Coronation street.
With every post that you make you sound more like a female approaching menopause than one who does not recall the event.
Get back to doing what you do best only not on this media , the luv might be more appropriate !

I think the Turkish people have made it clear about the troops and the TRNC, there is no getting through to some.
They would prefer to abandon the EU.

Mr Real,
It seems that now, each time you post, you drive another nail in your coffin. It’s always been clear how extremist you are, and how genuinely unpleasant. But your reference to that family who walk on all fours is meant to demonstrate what, exactly? That Turkey should be disallowed from joining the EU?
Your racism and bigotry are really quite disgusting.
I see also that you have decided against answering my questions on the other topic about why exactly the Oramses were sued by Apostolides. If he really only wanted his land back, why did he only sue for 10% of it?
Too hard for you to answer?

Its ok Moover – I am sure you know the history. Poor Yawnnis
doesnt take rejection at all well.
Do you think he really was married – I mean first I’m an old
bug (I think he means bag – although if I was a old bug he might
find it easier to swat me) then I’m a pensioner and now I’m
menopausal – a meopausal pensioner, he doesnt know a lot about
women, does he??? Sorry I’ll amend that, he doesnt know a lot
full stop. Give it up old boy you are becoming a laughing stock.

Polly:
Yawnnniiisss claims he has an ‘alleged’ marriage certificate – so maybe he has an imaginary wife that he really doesn’t possess – a bit like his imaginary land in the TRNC! I made him an offer to fly to the TRNC and take a look at his alleged land and if it’s reasonably priced / well located – I would buy it – and then he could sue me!
Seems like he is a little shy to put his allegd land where his very big sexist mouth is
I suppose that’s what happens when you get to be an old GC and live all alone, you become delusional, rude and disagreeable

How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have the required intelligence to enter into a debate on the complicated Cyprob issue.
My honest opinion is that you should see a shrink , it appears to me that ever since I asked that you share a drink with me on the Kyrenia seafront , the whole issue has gone to your head !! You should be so lucky woman !!

Yawnnniiisss posts here because in his own homeland they regard him as a hero – top of the pile of the highly educated and sophisticated, articulate and well informed GCs.
Of course like most things GC most of it is just hot air.
It happens not just with age – but with a life full of failure.
Failure to get his alleged land in the TRNC
Failure to be able to debate with intellect and decorum
Failure to understand the history of Cyprus
Failure to have more than 50 words in his vocabulary
Failure to possess any common sense
Must be hard when you have lived out most of your life and the only thought that comes to his mind – ‘Bugger, what a failure I (Yawnnniiisss) am – just one big, fat, old plonker who will never get to see let alone possess his alleged land in the TRNC”
