| I will make a prediction.... the money that will become available from the resources to be found around the island, estimated to be possibly around the £40billion mark... will be enough to get the 2 sides together and in agreement. No government is going to want to pass that by, how can you skim the cream off the top if you are not in charge at the time it is all flowing.... mark my words!! |

| Who and when is going to solve the Cyprus propblem? It is very easy but not Cypriots, Americans or even Russians can solve it! I belive this is the best idea of all ! It will happen in 2020 and only with the help of ALIENS. Do you want to know the details ? A show in Famagusta telling about it - on the 18 , 21, 22 , 25 , 28 and 29 of October. 0533 866 27 04. I think this idea is more realistic than Cyprus negotiations. |

| It was in yesterdays Kıbrıs that Downer has stated "Progress has been made (between the two leaders". This was apparently after they discussed the Economy, EU, Internal security, Land ownership, Administration and Power sharing on Thursday. Eroğlu stated that, where they had a bottleneck on couple of issues in the previous meeting, they have instructed their advisers / experts to get together and solve - he said, due to restrictions in reporting what has been discussed, he could not add anything further. Apparently, Hristofyas said, "I will not say that we have come to an agreement with the Turkish Cypriots, BUT we are extremely close to agreeing on the subject of the National Congress.." |

| message 10 mark: you rightly remind us it is "talks" that are still taking place, with the object of an agreement on reunification of cyprus yet the word "solution" crops up repeatedly in cyprus 44 but can only ever mean different things to each community for example, for a majority of greek and turkish cypriot migrants, it may well include a safe and secure return to the homes they occupied until july 1974 to the people of north cyprus, however they are defined, it has a lot to do with economic growth, international acceptance and the undying guarantee of turkey's army I would suggest that for jane and joe ex-pat the choice would be to stump up a bit of compo: and see land values jump patronising? perhaps, but not half as patronising as bigging up the idea of a "solution" that sidesteps the question of losers and gainers in any future settlement |

| wyn: most people would like to see a sensible compromise on the cyprus question, and this time around it is elected cypriots alone trying to resolve their conflicting requirements, but there is not a great deal of progess after three years' trying without wanting to sound totally pessimistic, the gc's voted down the gift of a (measure of) compensation, and (some) territory in 2006 now said to be off the table, but understandably still bang on about reclaiming former properties by ejecting post-1974 settlers: so what is it there is to actually discuss? if huge gas reserves are found near cyprus this could usher in peace and prosperity for one and all, but on past form the more likely outcome is bitter squabbling over the spoils some gc supporters are quick to point out various problems turkey is facing over cyprus, few are willing to grapple with its mirror-image...under stress, governments of near-east countries tend to be less compromising not more |

| I could not agree more with Msg 21. If they find gas/oil in huge quantities (which seems likely), together with TRNC's water pipeline project (Turkey>TRNC) which will be able to supply the whole island, there will be every encouragement to do a re-unification deal. and everyone here (TCs, GCs, Brits, etc ) will be laughing all the way.

| Don't be misled by politician's (including Downer's) unwarranted optimism. It's part of their normal make up. I doubt there is any sudden rapprochement in the reintegration talks. The GC's still want Maras, Famagusta and Guzelyurt "returned" to them (not to say Kyrenia) ! As Erdogan said. If they wanted those they should not have said no to the Annan Plan in which they were included. Other "red lines" to be overcome ?. The Turkish Protection Force to leave ! Yeah right ! maybe to be replaced by EOKA C..... Turkish "settlers, or immigrants or seasonal workers, depending on your point of view, to be returned to Turkey. I can just see Erdogan agreeing to that ! Hydrocarbon deposits, water pipelines, electric grids ?, Have not even entered the radar of these talks and are so far in the future that any discussions on those depend on the success of the talks themselves. At the end of the day, referendums will be held,the people decide and it's anyone's guess as to the results of thos |

| Come on Cinders you cannot be serious! "The best solution is the present status quo," the best solution for Greek Cypriot hotel owners on poor stretches of coastline in the south maybe! What about the long suffering Turkish Cypriots? The 'non-solution solution' so beloved of EDEK and DIKO supporters in the South is no damn good to them at all. That is what so many have emigrated, and when they come back to the TRNC they feel they are strangers in their own land due to the scale of immigration from Anatolia over the last couple of decades. Turkish Cypriots voted for a just solution in 2004, unfortunately the promises of EU countries about direct trade and flights never materialised. There are only two realistic options, a bi-zonal bi-communal federal Cyprus, or permanent partition. If its to be the latter, the best the TRNC could hope for is a Kosova or Taiwan type recognition not a full one. Ban Ki Moon is rightly making it clear that this is the last chance for an agreemen |

| re 32 Geejay Whist Mr E may have a point re the GC no to Annan.. they were told that their Mr P would get them a better deal "under EU norms of HR" ... and for YEARS they had only heard "Recognise the TRNC" - not realising that their was a new chapter in TC political life.. they didn't believe Mr D was 'finished' Mr E was quite happy to recommend acceptance of a plan to 'return' settlers, the 'return' of Morphou, Varosha, etc., coming under the GC 'sector' of the new federated state THEN... so what's changed, now ? |

| 6m's.... I haven't the slightest idea what you're posting is about. Your shorthand is a mystery to me. Please be more explicit and write in the Queen's English. Words of one syllable would also assist !! I'll make one guess though. That Mr. E is Erdogan, who has recently adamantly declared that Famagusta etc. will not be given over to the Greek Cypriots. Or maybe you mean Eroglu who actually has said very little, in accordance with the bi-communal agreement on media statements. If you however you do (mean Eroglu), he won't go against Turkey's wishes ! 'He who pays the piper calls the tune'. No matter what. Turkey's investment in and funding of the TRNC is THE determining factor in the north's position, at least in the short and medium term. And no politician here looks beyond that for their own benefit. |

Mr P - in case you can't figure it - is the former President of the 'rump' RoC - Mr Papadopoulos - who lied to his people... Mr D = Denktash was guilty of the same thing - but was effectively 'finished' by the Annan vote - but the GCs didn't believe that.. The MAIN reasons Annan failed... The GCs believed their President would get 'em a 'better deal' ( "under [sic] EU norms of Human Rights" ) AND that posters of Denktash were posted everywhere by the No campaign ... with ( basically) "would you trust this man to share power with?" [ it would be Talat, of course.. ] Lastly, the current 'rump' RoC President ( Mr C ) told his party to vote No..saying it meant 'yes |

| (cont) Mr E strongly suggested to the TCs and TC settlers to vote YES and they did... now here we are 7 years later .. NOW, he surely saying the opposite ( he was effectively saying vote YES to kiss good-bye to Varosha/ Marash and Morphou/Guzelyurt and the notion of 'TRNC' in 2004 - He is interfering, at a time when this is a chance for Cypriots to try to find a deal.. So what changed SO dramatically, to cause Mr E to 'do a 180' ? |

| Hi 6m "So what changed SO dramatically, to cause Mr E to 'do a 180' ?" Who knows? We don't know the mind of Erdogan. I expect though that he has grown considerably in confidence since 2004 and so has Turkey. He is now quite comfortable in throwing his weight around and perhaps he sees more at stake in Cyprus with the talk of gas/oil etc. |

Bagis also belives that if some of the current members were subjected to similar scrutiny.Their report cards,wouldnt be half as good as Turkeys, Paul. |

| msge 46 "Their report cards,wouldnt be half as good as Turkeys". I expect this to be true Paul. Just look at Bulgaria and Romanias record on crime. Apparently Sofia is run by the mafia. In days gone by most countries on the rise and with Turkeys growing confidence would look to be expanding their territory. Thankfully the EU allows Turkey an outlet to trade and win economically but with every passing day the EU is less likely to be able to influence Turkey politically. |

Egemen Bagis recently, sarcastically invited the E.U. to come and join Turkey.As i see it,the only chance would be if a deal was brokered over the hydrocarbons in the med, Paul. |

| Paul The strength of turkish economy maybe strong but the majorıty of the public (exc.Istanbul,Ankara,Izmır...) are still on the run to other places (like trnc) in order to make living. why trnc? Because everywhere else they'd need visa and a substantial amount of security money which they can only claim back on thier return.Hence the reason of most claiming political asylum on their arrival at X country. Now,put yourself in their shoes.................would you want to be in EU? |

| I totally agree with you Lionokan, its been going nowhere for so long and hope the impasse is broken and both communities can be free in one way or another. But something has to give from the South though! |

| So, what does the south need to give inorder to get a solution? An agreed solution would obviously mean that the north could use its ports, have direct flights and be recognised internationally etc otherwise it would not be a solution. What else would the Greeks have to do? |

| Why does the Ex-pat community automatically assume that a solution between the Cypriots (GC/TC) would be beneficial to them? |

| Msg 74, Presumably it would encompass a settlement to the land freehold title issue. I do take note of the deeper issue in your statement and it may well be worth debating on Cyprus 44. Good point! wyn |

| Hi Newlad, Back from your tent outside St Pauls, I see! Do you really think that both sides are going to walk away from all that Hydrocarbons wealth? Perhaps the Turks will offer to buy the South of the Island from the bubbles? (God only knows they need the cash) That would legitimiise TRNC issued Kochans.......problem solved. Triple Ouso,s all round! wyn |

| Morning Lord Wynyard, Let me spell it out for you,takes notes if you wish. 1 The two sides wont agree on re-unification. 2 A referendum will be held on unifying the island. 3 The Gcs will vote no 4 The Tcs will vote yes. 5 Two states will be agreed, Dont forget to send the money, Paul. |

| Newlad, Look at your pic. No tie and what you said about poor Christophias! (poor little Commie ) OK then two states (as per your opinion) How do you share the hydrocarbons. Now theres a basis for war imho. I think, they have to think" outside the box" to find a settlement. Lets face it, they have tried every other way wyn |
