Twentieth Anniversary of the Annan Plan (2): Did the ‘No’ of Republic of Cyprus Protect All of the Cypriots?

1. Her articles, speeches are really good and bold… She is young but she will get to great places in the future but i am worried too, she got lynched by Türkiye and she still keeps going. Very brave of her. Bravo.

2. I find it kinda amazing how it took 30 years for some people to draft a “solution” plan, then was rejected by one side, and instead of going back to the drawing board or using it as a template to make it something acceptable for all sides, everyone pretty much just said fuck it and nothing else noteworthy has been done for the following 20 years. The way things are going the Koreans are gonna be unified before we do.

3. She is influenced by the the candidate of Greens. It is the same bullshit.

   A referandum is a process and even if there will be a conversion or virgin birth, no one can run away. And there will be no “gaps”. Result of the referandum will be implemented ASAP. In 2004, there were 3 flags ready at UN workers which will be used to change flags at three location (presidential buildings ar both sides and one more which I dont remeber) as the results are official. So the state would be official as the results are official.

4. I agree with everything she wrote and she seems like a kind, brave and intelligent woman. I’ve been following her for awhile now. I’m proud that she is Cypriot. I feel sorry for how she has been treated by everyone at this point. From a Greek Cypriot 🙂

5. No solution will be found until most of those who were alive during the 74 invasion are dead and buried.

   There is still a lot hate and it will take many generations to over come it.

   I have cousins in their 30’s and 40’s who hate the Turks because it was instilled in them from birth by their Parents and Grandparents..

   They in turn try and spread this hatred to their children and so on..

   The other thing that needs to happen is for the TC to revolt against the Turkish Government and demand the right to rule their own future..

   Until these things happen there will never be a resolution

6. With the benefit of hindsight, for sure the no was a good decision. 

   Given how Turkish politics has turned out in the last 20 years, there is no reason to think they would have upheld their responsibilities under the plan, and no reason to think they wouldn’t interfere in Cyprus internal politics. 

   We would have ended up like Bosnia or Kosovo but with even more bullshit.
