Cyprus running out of water - 9 July 2008

Emergency shipments of fresh water have begun arriving in Cyprus, to prevent citizens from abandoning the island. A devastating drought has left residents with just seventy days of drinkable water. And while the first shipment has been delivered by Greece, faults in a pipeline mean even further delays. Al Jazeera's Hamish Macdonald reports.

Thats where you are wrong!

The EOKA B' were only a handful of people who wanted ENOSIS!

Makarios DID NOT WANT ENOSIS! He FUCKING MADE THE CYPRUS REPUBLIC and because he didnt want ENOSIS the EOKA B' guys wanted to kill him!

98% of the population sided with Makarios and thats why EOKA B' failed!

Makarios loved the Turkish Cypriots and thats why he chose a flag made by a Turkish Cypriot as the Republic's flag! I am sure you didnt know that!

Realize that EOKA B' is dead because we killed it!

WTF?!I am a cypriot and it's a shame for you guys talking for nonsense and for the 74' that's why cyprus will always be behind. The only solution is to became an exoticd middle east island like dubai so let's sell our oil and accept the Qatar's deal. We may be christians but remeber that archaeologics say that we are from the Gulf. Also we all know that Turkey is a shame for Middle east and EU will never accept them according to a top secret report from London to Washington (found in wiki leaks)
