The final version of the UN Annan plan is much more complicated compared to its previous versions. Its philosophy derives out of the existing Cyprus constitution that was drafted in 1960 by the British in order to cause deadlocks and subsequently havoc between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities in Cyprus with the overriding objective of retaining the two British military bases in Cyprus in Dekelia and in Akrotiri indefinitely.
Notwithstanding the fact that the UN Annan plan is comprehensive, it contains very many elements that makes it dysfunctional, such as :
1) the retaining of the Turkish army in Cyprus with extended intervention rights!!! Turkey intervened once in Cyprus and caused Ethnic cleansing of 200,000 Greek Cypriots, the destruction of numerous Greek Orthodox Churches and monasteries in Cyprus, and the sellout of Greek archaeological treasures of unprecedented value. All foreign armies should depart from Cyprus. The USA should assume responsibility for the 1974 crime of coup d' etat. It is the CIA who mechanized, promoted and organized the coup.
2) the retaining of the illegal Turkish settlers brought in Cyprus by Turkey in order to destroy the demographics of Cyprus, [This destruction affects not only the Greek-Cypriots but also the Turkish Cypriots that are a minority in the occupied areas of Cyprus] and
3) the deprivation of the properties of the Greek Cypriots in the occupied areas of Cyprus by Turkey. TURKISH SETTLERS MUST BE COMPENSATED BY TURKEY AND DEPART FROM CYPRUS.
The plan also includes provisions that are racist, oxymoron and separatist.
1) It provides that the victims of the Turkish invasion and ethnic cleansing, the Greek Cypriots, would have to pay reparations to themselves (!!!) for losing their properties by paying taxes to the reparations council! This would bring economic disaster to the island since the level of compensations is estimated to 8 billion US dollars.
2) Further with this monstrosity Greek Cypriots are becoming second class citizens in their own country. They constitute the 82% of the population, yet, every 8 Greek-Cypriot votes will be equated with 1 Turkish-Cypriot vote! Cypriots will no longer be European citizens, but slaves!
3) Greek-Cypriots will never be able to return back to the Greek town of Kyrenia, built by Praksandros and Kifeas from Laconia Greece during the Homeric times, thus depriving them not only their properties in that ancient Greek land, but also depriving them their Greek history, their Hellenic identity and their Hellenic National pride. This is preposterous.
4) The solution is an economic disaster for Greek-Cypriots who have been working hard to reach EU economic standards but at the end of the day the Turkish-Cypriots will be the sole benefactors of the accession to the EU.
5) With this plan, Cyprus becomes a protectorate of Turkey, the invader of Cyprus and legalizes all Turkish crimes against Cyprus. Further, no decision will be possible without the prior approval of Ankara. The Cypriots will be slaves to the Turks.
6) All provisions of the plan relating to the rights of the Turkish Cypriots have IMMEDIATE effect, whereas all provision relating to the Rights of the Greek Cypriots have an interlocutory period that spans 20 years from the signing of the agreement.
7) In the event of a deadlock, there is absolutely no provision to prevent the Turkish constituent state to refrain from declaring its independence. If the Greek-Cypriots disagree the Turkish Army would be able to intervene again and repeat the 1974 crimes and Ethnic Cleansing against the Greek-Cypriots.
