Cyprus to build gas plant with or without Israel | AP | Menelaos Hadjicostis | 3 April 2013

NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Cyprus' offshore natural gas deposits are enough to warrant the construction of a gas
processing plant to export excess supply, regardless of whether Israel decides to be a partner in the project, the island nation's foreign minister said Wednesday.

Cypriot terms for an energy deal with "Turkey"

"Turkey" threatens Israel and others not to collaborate with Cyprus on energy matters. The truth is however that "Turkey" has no legal leg to stand on. Having said that, Cyprus could agree to pass a pipeline through
"Turkey" if all of the below conditions are met:

1. Turkish troops withdraw immediately (unconditionally)
2. Turkish settlers are repatriated back to "Turkey" within six months (unconditionally)
3. "Turkey" and Cyprus agree on a single definition of POLITICAL EQUALITY and for its uniform application to address their minority communities' demands, Cyprus for its 80.000 Turkish Cypriots and "Turkey" for its 23 million Kurds
4. "Turkey" pays Cyprus 200 billion euros, the estimated cost of its illegal invasion and illegal 40 year occupation.

Ps. The 4th condition could be negotiated.

Political Equality

Forget the Cypriot and the Turkish constitutions. Both are in need of serious upgrade. Concentrate on the essence. Turks insist on political equality between 80 thousand Turkish Cypriots and 800 thousand Greek Cypriots. Why then do they object to political equality between 23 million Kurds and 42 million Turks?

Concessions you say?

Those that ask of me to grant concessions in order for a just and viable solution to the Turkish-British-Turkish Cypriot problem of Cyprus should know that all I had to give I already gave, and that was when I compromised for an independent Cyprus state, against the overwhelming will of the majority Cypriots, its historic people, the Greek Christians, for union with Greece. If there cannot be a just independent state, without zones, apartheid, foreign intervention rights and baloney, then the only possible solution is the union of Cyprus with Greece. If 20 million Kurds managed to survive for over 90 years as citizens of an ethnic Turkish state then it is certain that 75.000 Turkish Cypriots will survive as European citizens of Greece.

Are you a psycho?

Hey Turk, I see what you are saying. A Kurd cannot have political equality in "Turkey", and her language cannot be official & she cannot have a Kurdish education. Oh, I forget, she must get a full education in a foreign language too, Turkish, you know? Just like what you profess for the Turkish Cypriot minority! Wait a second. In Cyprus you demand since the 1950s the exact opposite for the ethnic minority! How can that be? Are you a psycho?
