Assoc. Prof. Ahmet Sozen, Director of the Cyprus Policy Centre and international relations expert, speaks openly about the history and present of the Cyprus problem.
He offers solutions to many of the issues involved, and challenges President Christofias to try to reach an agreement before he loses political legitimacy.
Interview conducted 5th August 2011 by Tom Andronas.
Very interesting programme.
My comments/observations on the Cyprus problem are:
Probably 2 or 3 generations have lived in their settlement areas for nearly 40 years. I wonder if they really want to to return to their grandparents regions.
I ask the questions; how many people died between 1963 and the Intervention?
How many people died during the Intervention?
How many people have died since the Intervention?
How many people in our World have died in the last 3 years by acts of nature?
Finally, why cannot we just forget the past and just love our neighbours. Forget power and greed. Here I am a Brit. We have no hatred for the German or the Japanese because of the atrocities in the 2nd World war era.
So shake hands, look each other in the eyes and smile truly.
