BRUSSELS, Feb 5 (Saba) -- Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat said here Friday that he has made a proposal to transfer the ongoing negotiations to resolve the Cyprus problem to another country in order not to be disturbed by internal politics, according to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

Jack,

I think Christofias has told Talat that he is too busy to move the talks to another country,

If they do go abroad, to avoid the Christian v. Moslem thing, how about Israel? A modern independant state, very close to Cyprus.

Good idea Vaughan.



Do you know when the Israelis will start their "Casino Boat" from Haifa to Famagusta?



The Presidents could travel on that!

The can meet in Tenerife, or Timbuktu - it won't make a scrap of difference, even if they made an agreement, because any agreement can only be ratified after a referendum - and we all know what the 'Archbishop' has said................



It's long past time for some strong words from Turkey.

And when the talks stalled they could play a few hands of crib.

It might be considered to be in bad taste in the Moslem world for for ROC/TRNC to hold talks, in Israel of all places, on a settlement that has as a major cause for disagreement the status of property and settlers.

Hi girne 29,

Sorry,but reading the statements from both sides for the last year.I could quite believe the talks could be held in Israel.

A lot easier to take seriously than that climate change could be slowed by switching off the TRNC flag lightbulbs .



or statements like "On the basis of what has been accomplished so far, the international community expects the talks to continue to make substantial progress in a timely fashion," UN reprsentative.
