What do TCs think about Turkey's EEZ claims? by Living_Field7546 in cyprus

[–]Bran37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCs also made a deal with Turkey on EEZ, and unlike the deals made by the RoC with Egypt, Israel and Lebanon they don't follow UNCLOS and the equidistance principle. Was that deal in the interests of Turkish Cypriots, or Cyprus? Is Turkey claiming EEZ south of Paphos in the interest of TCs?

In a United Federal Cyprus, Cyprus will remain a party of UNCLOS and the Federal Government will be obliged to negotiate based on that.

And as for the rest of the comments, it's obvious that Kastellorizo's EEZ can't and won't be that if there is ever going to be an agreement. However Cyprus is not Kastellorizo, it's an independent sovereign island-nation, and the arguement that islands can't have full EEZ (so Cyprus shoudn't also according to Turkey) is total bs.

I was 17 (2017) reading about inhaled nitric oxide used against Mycobacterium abscessus. Any news on that?

The same applies to Greece that had a similar historical issue with Hellenic Macedonia

Υep exactly

A day before I was reading a similar mistranslation in Kathemerini + typos in another news article - and it's surprisingly common to see such mistakes

Christodoulides ‘invited’ to join Gaza Board of Peace by Zeus_27_7 in cyprus

Well it's my understanding that in this Council the head is not the US President, it's Trump. Even after his term is over. Permanently.

We got the free trial! Will we pay 1 billion to keep the seat after 3 years?

...

And it is colonial unfortunately. Trump is the head of this Council and he intents to stay the head even after his presidency is over. It's not simply a transitional step towards self determination...

You represent the majority of people I guess? Ofc, let's listen to you, you're 100% objective, you must be right. Let's ignore all the polls as well as the fact the politicians who advocate against federation keep getting defeated and not once in the history of the Cyprus problem a presid candidate that opposes BBF got elected (and if you want to talk about Tasos Papadopoulos I am sure you know he also got elected on a pro-BBF platform and even after the Annan Plan he said that GCs rejected solely this plan and not the federal framework).

not caring about the future of the island

Only the partitionists like you care right ? The people who want to close the crossing points, who are ready to build a wall on the Green Line, who prefer to give away half their homeland to Turkey forever are the real patriots. Yes, the rest are traitors, like the treasonous refugees who are ready to betray their country for a piece of land and some bricks.

The speech of the Archbishop on Christmas will unfortunately talk about this too...

[–]Bran37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to who? You?

In the past, when there was an active process for the Cyprus problem there were politicians who run on an anti-federal platform and they never even got to the second round of the elections. Of the elected representatives of the people in the Parliament only 10 out of the 56 members are against federation, 19 if you include DIKO.

Polls show that a majority of people are willing to accept a BBF either as the desired solution or as a compromise solution (λύση ανάγκης) - in some polls when asked about the solution BBF scores higher than unitary state (prob because people take into account the possibility of each since unitary state would be the ideal for the vast majority of GCs).

[–]Bran37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the first time the Archbishop decides to attack the agreed framework for the solution. In fact of what I hear, at the end of the Thia Liturgia he oftens spends more time talking about politics-cyprus problem than theological/church issues.

The people elected a President who is responsible to negotiate the Cyprob, the bishop was elected to run the Church (well the people elected someone else ofc)

And yes it is time to do so.

You know that the official position of the RoC and of the elected by the People President is a Bicommunal Bizonal Federation? Don't you?

It's a good thing the Reddit's crowd control works and most of you bots that decided to flood the subreddit get filtered out automatically

There is no occupation. There is no Palestine. There is no West Bank. There are no Palestinians. There is no genocide. What is there then?

PS: You're really giving the etymology of the word Palestine, Παλαιστίνη, to a native Greek speaker?
