How can we find a solution??? What is the reason for the lack of one? Or,Who is the least to blame for the state of affairs??? Answer these questions,and the solution will follow... For Denktash and his Cronies the answer was ready and clear. There was no solution because of the GCs intransigent attitude... And Turkey was the least to blame... The GCs wanted to eat us for breakfast... Turkey came and saved our skin. Hence everything we found in the North was our God-given right... We should demand what we left in the South as well. This was taught to us in Cyprus for years. The GCs were aggressive... The GCs were murderers... The GCs were all bad... We were the innocent ones. The murder-victims... The good guys. We had no faults... Yep,these were what we were taught. There were no flies on us. The highway robbers were the GCs... They wanted ENOSIS... They drew up the Akritas Plan. They wanted war. We did absolutely nothing wrong... Never blocked a road,never shot anyone... Never smuggled arms into Cyprus... The boat "Yavuz" was not ours. The GCs attacked us,so Turkey had the right to come...and stay. The GCs were guilty,so their properties legally became our "ganimet"(war trophy)... All this was drilled into our heads by Denktash and the Turkish "deep state"... GCs bad,TCs good. Could you call Turkey "an occupier"? Not possible,brother... Turkey came,innocently and without any hidden motives,to save us from GC cruelty... Why wasn't she leaving??? Pulling back after completing her duty as a guarantor??? Denktash had a simple answer: If Turkey left they'd .... our mothers! I can't spell it out but you know what I mean... Without Turkey we cannot protect our honour,Rauf Bey used to say. Remember? It came naturally to Denktash and his Cronies. It was their job,after all! But to hear all this from Talat and his CTP administration was unthinkable... They were expected to say a few things about the "ganimet",but they didnt... "Do you expect us to live in tin shacks", said Talat's spokesperson himself. They didn't say," We shed blood,so the land belongs to us" at least... We saw that the blame game,and punishing the guilty,did not get us anywhere. But we didn't learn our lesson obviously. The GCs now have a new, progressive,pro-solution leader. At least the World thinks so! Do what you like,the "Tassos" excuse will not work for the World. Things have to change... What are we to do??? We should sit down and negotiate a Federal solution a.s.a.p... Without delay. Let Christofias call Turkey "occupier". What did you expect? To call Turkey "saviour"??? for God's sake! It's time for logical thinking. Lets stop the blame game. What is logical and legal is obvious... Lets try to achieve that. Lets not waste our time using the Denktash mentality. Don't expect Christofias to say," You know, that TRNC flag on the mountains look great at night!I will give you money to make it shine brighter..." Or,"Okey,my dears,You have your state We have ours;lets have a pool party once a week,eat drink and be merry!" And don't expect "We don't really want Varosia or Morphou back...Lets bring more settlers from Turkey and make them citizens!".... Or, "Help yourself to Paphos too,we don't really need it..." Please...Please friends... The solution is obvious... The last stop is a Federation... The alternative is "no solution"... |

Soyer confirms that Turkey asked from the breakaway regime the address of Serhat Incirli in order to file charges against him because of two of his articles Turkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (15.04.06) reports that Mr Ferdi Sabit Soyer, self-styled Prime Minister of the TRNC (breakaway regime in the occupied areas of the Republic of Cyprus), has confirmed that Turkeys Attorney Generals Office had asked from the occupation authorities information regarding the address of Serhat Incirli, columnist in AFRIKA who lives in London. The paper writes that Mr Soyer met on Friday with a delegation of the Press Laborers Union (BASIN-SEN), the Turkish Cypriot Journalists Union (KTGB) and the Turkish Cypriot Communication Workers Union, which informed him about the problems of the workers in the Press. Responding to a question, Mr Soyer said that Turkeys Attorney Generals Office wanted to file charges against columnist Serhat Incirli because of two articles he had written in AFRIKA and that the Turkish authorities have officially recourse to the Law Office of the TRNC because Afrika is published in the occupied part of Cyprus. The Attorney Generals Office, he added, transferred the issue to the police who invited Mr Incirlis family to the police station and found out his address. Mr Soyer said: Therefore, this is neither a wrong message nor a wrong incident. The Attorney Generals Office of the Republic of Turkey wants to file charges against him believing that two articles which he wrote contain direct insults for the Republic of Turkey. This is the issue and they are trying to establish the address. There is such a procedure. He then added that he had discussed the issue with the so-called police director and the Attorney General who confirmed that the information had been asked from Turkey, which wanted to file charges against Mr Incirli. Mr Soyer alleged that such issues always come onto the agenda in the relations between states and added that they will be following the issue closely. Furthermore, AFRIKA publishes also an answer by Mr Incirli to Mr Soyers statements. Mr Incirli expresses his grieve for these statements. I really feel ashamed for the fact that these things have been said by a politician from the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), says Mr Incirli and wonders since when journalists are tried in Turkey for something they wrote in Cyprus |
