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.

- Varosha asked for in exchange for Turkey’s EU bid and Direct Trade?
Turkey’s Secretariat for EU Affairs denied Monday Greek media reports that Turkey’s Chief EU Negotiator met with Greek Cypriot leader in Brussels.
Earlier, Greek media claimed that Egemen Bagis got together with Demetris Christofias at a meeting in Brussels where Christofias said that Greek Cypriot side could give green light to opening of some of Turkey’s negotiation chapters in return for the deserted town of Maras (Varosha).
“All these reports are untrue and fabricated,” the Secretariat-General said in a statement.
It said Christofias’ interlocuter could only be Turkish Cypriot President Dervis Eroglu, recalling that the two leaders, Christofias and Eroglu, have been continuing Cyprus reunification talks. - Do Greek Cypriots really want a Cyprus Problem settlement?
It has been some clear message from Turkey, solution for Cyprus.
This comes from a regular writer to Cyprus Mail, and guessed it he is Greek

- Christofias prepares the way for Cyprus Peace Talks
Greeks are doing what their good at, dragging their feet for last 36 years.
As far as Greeks are concern, no solution is a good solution.

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.
Ian:
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
Enjoy
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?

Sure….who cares what the EU says.
We are all happy living in our banana republic and we will continue to ignore anyone who tells us we are nothing but no-good thieving, looting carpetbagger.
f”"” it dude, let’s go bowling..
lol
What? why? europe has not joined the dark side yet?
But why..??? GC land in the North is so delicious and in such a good price.. The turks are practically giving it away for free!
I say lets invade into Beverly hills as well.. lets kick them out and just TAKE IT ALL
Kyriacos:
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.
Enjoy
JD:
Glad to see you have not lost any of your eloquence in your post
That GC education system has a long way to go to bring you up to the EU minimum standard 
Enjoy
What a blithering idiot !
The G/Cs Plonker , did not try and kick anyones arse, we were the victims of the junta inspired military coup which gave Turkey the green light to invade. Cut the crap out moover boy , Turkey a nation of 70 million invaded Cyprus a nation of half a million !
What a Plonker ! Back to Anatolian boy moover boy !
Hey JD,
“f””” it dude, let’s go bowling..”
Are you sure your name isn’t Lebowski, your Dudeness?
This isn’t the RoC dude, there are rules.
This blatant bias should worry any fair-minded, intelligent EU citizen – today Turkey, tomorrow…?
Lets project forward say 50 years and the EU has its much
wanted European Army and say some country ROC for instance,
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
you wish for!!
Polly, was anyone informed that it was a christian club?
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.
Troodo At least we dont have to worry about the Greeks
they cannot afford the bus fare.
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 !
Yawn…Yawn…Tawnnniiisss:
You must ahve got a lot of abuse as a child – man those pent up emotions against a decent woman!
My you are one GC A-hole!
POSSESSION IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE 9/10TH OD THE LAW –
Why don’t you take me up on my offer?
Enjoy
Looner ,
I do not have perverted sexual orientations mate , I think you are mistaking me for your Anatolian toy boy !
What a Plonker !
Yawn…Yawn…Yawnnniiisss:
I didn’t say you did – save ti say that you are Greek in your DNA
Still waiting for you take me up on the offer to look to buying your alleged land
How about it? Or are you also a GC – Greek Coward?
Enjoy
Looner , you enjoy it mate , any style you like , not my scene hooligan boy !
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.
Troodo: “They would prefer to abandon the EU.”
As if a 3rd world shit-hole like Turkey ever had a chance…
Does Turkey belong in the EU? You decide!

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.
Get Real:
Well they let in the Greek buggers….and the sly, scamming, lying GC….
Maybe letting the Turks in would raise the standards too high for such low life?
Enjoy
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
Enjoy
Hi Unreal Would that be
the same 3rd world shithole that kicked six bells of s**t out of
you lot and keep you where you belong, in the dark.
Polly , the BRAIN strikes again.
Woman , give it up you have not got the required intelligence to debate a Coronation / Eastendes episode let alone debate the Cyprob .
ps. I never called you an old bag , I
Polly the Brain..less strikes again.
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 !!
Moover
Sorry Moover
Seems my menopausal female inferior brain is getting me into
trouble (again) Sort the silly old fool our for me can you.
I really cant be bothered. In your description of him you
missed out deranged.
Polly:
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”
Enjoy
Thanks Moover
Knew I could rely on you.
What a pair of uncouth plonkers you both are , mystified as how you two arrived at the self deception aberration that you are …highly cognizant when it comes to Cypriot history, when in fact you are a pair of malevolent delinquents ,… or should I say Yobs with a CY … ALLEGEDLY !!!
What a pair of Plonkers !
