01] Turkish daily argues that an 8.000-page document including the minutes of the meetings of Ban Ki-moon with Downer, Erdogan, Gul, Karamanlis and the British has been stolen

Under the front-page title, Greek Cypriot style Ergenekon, Turkish daily Sabah newspaper (20.11.09) writes that ahead of a critical period in the direct negotiations which were launched in Cyprus a year ago, a scandal was revealed in the free territories of the Republic of Cyprus.

Persons who got the password of Sonia Bachmann, assistant to the UN Secretary-Generals Special envoy for Cyprus Alexander Downer, have stolen an-8.000-page document from the system. These documents are now being published by the Greek Cypriot press part by part.

These documents include minutes of the UN Secretary-General's meetings with Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The documents also include the minutes of the meetings of Mr Ban with the former Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and the British. The view that this is an operation of the Greek Cypriot secret services is widespread.



The incident took place 45 days ago in the Greek Cypriot Sector. There are two scenarios on how the documents have been stolen. According to the first scenario, Sonia Bachmann checked her e-mails from a public computer installed at the Hilton Hotel. In this process, the passwords have been stolen and according to Ms. Bachmann, access was achieved with the password to the UN database. Here they reached to the minutes of the meeting of Alexander Downer with Ban Ki-moon.



According to the second scenario, the incident took place at the Holiday Inn hotel. Unknown persons entered into Ms. Bachmann room, hacked the pass

password of the computer and stole the notes on the meetings. After this, all these documents started to be published in the Greek Cypriot press. In the documents, Mr Downer was being criticized.



An investigation was launched regarding computers security not only in the island, but in the headquarters of the UN in New York. While the investigations against those who have stolen the documents continue, no action was taken against Sonia Bachmann and Alexander Downer.

A cracker bit of investigative journalism on your part - good on ya, Sporty!



The 'Honey Trap' in reverse, Ms?



Could she have been 'kamagi'd'?



This just goes to prove, yet again, what a shambles and a sham these 'negotiations' really are!

Sorry, but as an Australian, I knew from the start that if Downer was involved, there wasn't much chance of anything happening!
