ben. Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 The Battle Over Cypress Continues The new Turkish Prime minister Tayyip Erdogan will have his hands full in the coming days, not only with Iraaq, but with the recent collapse of UN brokered peace negotiations between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. The Turks rejected a plan to unify the island proposed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. Even so, the European Union says it intends to move forward to admit the island nation of Cypress. Cypress was a former British colony which gained its political independence in 1960 in the London and Zurich agreements. Greece and Turkey also signed the agreements, but violence between the two people erupted resulting in the death of countless Cypriots. The Turkish Army was deployed during the civil unrest and established the Turkish Republic of Northern Cypress twenty years ago. The Greek Cypriot government is internationally recognized, only Turkey officially acknowledges the Turkish republic of Northern Cypress. Ezgi Siritas has more on the failed unification talks.

ben. Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 The moral of the story: Think before you post something with a title topic like this!! It's not as funny as I thought it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painful Reality Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Well for now I would think that the moral is more "nobody gives a damn about Cyprus". Nice fiscal paradise though. You may try again with "Should Quebec separate?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Disc Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I myself could care less about Cypress. I do have family in eastern Europe that vacations there. They probably care. Nice place to vacation from what I've heard. - tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
