The Talat-ification of the Cyprus problem
For Immediate Release: April 14, 2010
NEW YORK—The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) releases its own
translation of the recent urgent press release from the METOPO student
organization, representing the concerns of Greek Cypriot students and youth in
regards to recent events between Chairman Christofias the Communist leader of
Cyprus and Mr. Talat the agent of Turkey.
The English translation follows below, directly followed by a link to the
original Hellenic:
The “Talat-ification” of the Cyprus problem
http://www.metopo.org.uk/dt2010004012-talatopoiisi.html
“Pre-election” poster of [Talat]: “[Talat], links us with Turkey”
Press Release
To [Talat-ification] of the Cypriot problem
London, 12 April 2010
It is expected that this slap to the face would come (to Chairman Christofias).
When he (Christofias) lends value and substance to the pseudo-state, why
wouldn’t the European Union and the international community? When the Chairman
of an independent, internationally recognized state does support outlaw states,
and “candidate” outlaws of “elections” in his homeland, that take place in the
illegally occupied territories of his homeland, why wouldn’t also heads of other
states?
And who is the “candidate” that supports the Chairman of Democracy? Mehmet Ali
Talat? He is one that states and declares that he is proud of his “armed past”,
when he was a “mujahedeen” in the 77th Company of TMT (Turkish terrorist
organization) and offered his services in the criminal enterprises of Operation
Attila in 1974 (Turkish newspaper “[Zaman]”, 24/09/2006)? The one who attacked
Greek-Cypriot students [propilakise] students of METOPO [KFIB] in London in
December 2009? OR the one that will oppose, supposedly, the Turkish expansionist
interests and will agree to a `fair, viable and [leitoyrgiki]' solution? A
solution, in which he himself did declare, that he wishes confederation, but as
cover “in order to we maintain the constructive ambiguity, we use term `bizonal
bi-communal federation [omospondia]'"? (“Daily”, 11/05/2009) The “candidate”
Talat supports also the Contacts, Support and Solidarity of the illegal Turkish
settlers, while he himself Talat asks for the support of the grey wolves, the
murderers of [isaak]-Solomos. Which common interest one wonders, does the
Chairman of Democracy, Dimitris Christofias, have with the Turkish illegal
settlers and their grey wolves, which support the “candidate”?
When he himself the Chairman of Cypriot Democracy, supports the “candidate”
Talat, and makes common statements with him, despite reactions , and his
responsibility in creating a climate of feigned progress, through “generous
offers”, then it is expected for the support and promotion of “candidate” Talat
from himself and the EU. The premature publication of the decision of [EDAD] for
the “committee of compensations”, the likely or false recognition of the
pseudo-state with the regulation on “direct trade” with the EU and the
invitations for Talat in Spain and in Brussels are certainly characteristic
examples. Moreover, the entanglement of the EU in this particular subject, does
not only constitute “doping” in the “candidate” Talat, but causes serious
complications in the solution of the Cypriot problem after which are removed and
made useless the European arms from the coffers of Cypriot Democracy, to
decrease any positive role, that it can play on the EU, on a fair solution, in
the base beginnings. This is glaring by the fact that, we place as base of
discussions the full implementation the international and European rights, we
consider data that the solution presupposes divergences, granting him in turn
the presidency, and the parked vote and the acceptance of 50.000 Turks
colonists, from the first done stage of negotiations, the moment indeed where
Talat ensures the illegal Turkish settlers that they will not leave now nor
after the solution!
The METOPO of Cypriot Students United Kingdom clarifies that “it prefers” no one
“candidate” for the said elections and considers each pseudo-president
arrangement, as belonging to Turkey, it is simply a puppet. Pseudo-elections
simply break with legality, the product of illegal Turkish occupation, which
continues still in a country of Europe. The Cypriot problem is a problem of
Turkish invasion and Turkish occupation and the guilty party is Turkey. The
equitable conclusion of the Cypriot question, that is to say a solution `fair,
viable and workable', a solution that will include the complete release of
Cyprus, does not depend neither on [Talat] or [Eroglou], nor does it depend on
the “good will of” Turkey. It exclusively depends on our own political
leadership if it practices the pressures, via reliable allies, which will force
out the occupation by Turkey, and if Turkey is moved from her imperialistic,
expansionist plans and behaves in the framework of international legality.

Προεκλογική» αφίσα του Ταλάτ: «Ο Ταλάτ, μας ενώνει με την Τουρκία»
ΔΕΛΤΙΟ ΤΥΠΟΥ
Προς ταλατοποίηση του Κυπριακού προβλήματος
Λονδίνο, 12 Απριλίου 2010
Θα έπρεπε να ήταν αναμενόμενα τα ραπίσματα. Όταν εμείς οι ίδιοι προσδίδουμε αξία
και υπόσταση στο ψευδοκράτος, γιατί να μην προσδώσει η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και η
διεθνής κοινότητα; Όταν ο Πρόεδρος ενός ανεξάρτητου, διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένου
κράτους υποστηρίζει δημόσια, κάποιον «υποψήφιο» των παράνομων «εκλογών», οι
οποίες λαμβάνουν χώρα στα κατεχόμενα εδάφη της πατρίδας του, γιατί να μην
ασχοληθούν και αρχηγοί άλλων κρατών;
Και ποιός είναι ο «υποψήφιος» που υποστηρίζει ο Πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας; Ο
Μεχμέτ Αλί Ταλάτ; Αυτός που δημόσια δηλώνει πως είναι περήφανος για το «ένοπλο
παρελθόν» του, όταν ήταν μουτζαχίντ στον 77ο Λόχο της ΤΜΤ και προσέφερε τις
υπηρεσίες του στις πολεμικές επιχειρήσεις του Αττίλα το 1974 (τουρκική εφημερίδα
«Ζαμάν», 24/09/2006); Αυτός που προπηλάκισε τους φοιτητές-μέλη του ΜΕΤΩΠΟΥ ΚΦΗΒ
στο Λονδίνο τον Δεκέμβριο του 2009; Ή αυτός που θα εναντιωθεί, δήθεν, στα
τουρκικά επεκτατικά συμφέροντα και θα συμφωνήσει για μια ‘δίκαιη, βιώσιμη και
λειτουργική’ λύση; Μια λύση, για την οποία ο ίδιος δήλωσε, πως επιθυμεί
συνομοσπονδία, αλλά «για να διατηρήσουμε την εποικοδομητική ασάφεια,
χρησιμοποιούμε τον όρο ‘διζωνική δικοινοτική ομοσπονδία’»; («Καθημερινή»,
11/05/2009) Την «υποψηφιότητα» Ταλάτ στηρίζει και ο Σύνδεσμος Στήριξης και
Αλληλεγγύης των Τούρκων εποίκων, ενώ ο ίδιος ο Ταλάτ ζητάει την υποστήριξη και
των γκρίζων λύκων, των δολοφόνων των Ισαάκ-Σολωμού. Τί κοινό συμφέρον έχει
άραγε, ο Πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας, Δημήτρης Χριστόφιας, με τους Τούρκους
έποικους και τους γκρίζους λύκους, και υποστηρίζουν την ίδια «υποψηφιότητα»;
Όταν ο ίδιος ο Πρόεδρος της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, στηρίζει την «υποψηφιότητα»
Ταλάτ, προβαίνοντας σε κοινές δηλώσεις μαζί του, παρά τις αντιδράσεις στο
εσωτερικό μέτωπο, και δημιουργώντας κλίμα επίπλαστης προόδου, μέσα από
«γενναιόδωρες προσφορές», τότε αναμενόμενη θα έπρεπε να θεωρείται η στήριξη και
προώθηση της «υποψηφιότητας» Ταλάτ από την ίδια την ΕΕ. Η πρόωρη έκδοση της
απόφασης του ΕΔΑΔ για την «επιτροπή αποζημιώσεων», η πιθανή ταϊβανοποίηση του
ψευδοκράτους με τον κανονισμό για «απευθείας εμπόριο» με την ΕΕ και οι
προσκλήσεις του Ταλάτ στην Ισπανία και στις Βρυξέλλες είναι μερικά
χαρακτηριστικά παραδείγματα. Επιπλέον, η εμπλοκή της ΕΕ στο συγκεκριμένο θέμα,
δεν αποτελεί μόνο «ντοπάρισμα» στην «υποψηφιότητα» Ταλάτ, αλλά προκαλεί σοβαρές
επιπλοκές στη λύση του Κυπριακού προβλήματος αφού αφαιρούνται και αχρηστεύονται
τα ευρωπαϊκά όπλα από την φαρέτρα της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, θέλοντας να
μειώσουν τον οποιοδήποτε θετικό ρόλο, που μπορεί να διαδραματίσει η ΕΕ, για μια
δίκαιη λύση, στη βάση των αρχών της. Αυτό εξυφαίνεται από το γεγονός ότι, αντί
να θέτουμε ως βάση των συνομιλιών την πλήρη εφαρμογή του διεθνούς και ευρωπαϊκού
δικαίου, θεωρούμε δεδομένο ότι η λύση προϋποθέτει αποκλίσεις, προτείνοντας την
εκ περιτροπής προεδρία, τη σταθμισμένη ψήφο και την αποδοχή 50.000 Τούρκων
εποίκων, από το πρώτο κιόλας στάδιο των διαπραγματεύσεων, τη στιγμή μάλιστα που
ο Ταλάτ διαβεβαιώνει τους εποίκους ότι δεν θα φύγει ούτε ένας μετά τη λύση!
Το ΜΕΤΩΠΟ Κυπρίων Φοιτητών Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου ξεκαθαρίζει ότι δεν «προτιμά»
κανένα «υποψήφιο» για τις λεγόμενες εκλογές και θεωρεί πως κάθε ψευδοπρόεδρος
ενός καθεστώτος, το οποίο είναι υποχείριο της Τουρκίας, είναι απλώς μια
μαριονέτα. Οι ψευδοεκλογές απλώς προσπαθούν να επικαλύψουν με νομιμότητα, το
προϊόν της πιο βάρβαρης κατοχής, που συνεχίζει ακόμη σε χώρα της Ευρώπης. Το
Κυπριακό πρόβλημα είναι πρόβλημα εισβολής και κατοχής και ο ένοχος είναι η
Τουρκία. Η ορθή κατάληξη του Κυπριακού ζητήματος, δηλαδή μια λύση ‘δίκαιη,
βιώσιμη και λειτουργική’, μια λύση που θα περιλαμβάνει την πλήρη απελευθέρωση
της Κύπρου, δεν εξαρτάται ούτε από τον Ταλάτ ή τον Έρογλου, κι ούτε από την
«καλή θέληση» της Τουρκίας. Εξαρτάται αποκλειστικά από την δική μας πολιτική
ηγεσία να ασκήσει τις πιέσεις εκείνες, μέσω αξιόπιστων συμμάχων, που θα
εξαναγκάσουν την κατοχική Τουρκία, να μετακινηθεί από τα ιμπεριαλιστικά,
επεκτατικά σχέδια της και να συμπεριφερθεί στα πλαίσια της διεθνούς νομιμότητας.

Second Hellenic Genocide Commemoration outside the UN on April 6, 2010
For Immediate Release: April 8, 2010
Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, Tel. 1-(917)-699-9935
New York, NY- On April 6, 2010 The Pan-Thracian Union of America “ORPHEUS” in
cooperation with the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York
remembered the Hellenic Genocide in Thrace and all victims of the Armenian,
Assyrian and Hellenic Genocide perpetrated by Turkey. This year’s event marks
the second year in a row that community activists and leaders gathered at Ralph
J Bunche Park outside the United Nations in New York for the commemoration of

UNWANTED FLOWERS:
Following the conclusion of the event Mr. Nikolaos Taneris, President of the Pan
Thracian Union of America “Orpheus” and Mr. Ioannis Fidanakis, former President
and board member of the Pan Thracian Union of America “Orpheus” took the
ceremonial funereal wreath for the inncoent victims of the Greek Genocide to the
Greek Consulate in New York on 69 E. 79 Street in Manhattan. To our dismay, when
the Greek diplomats saw our wreath and the pamphlet “GREEK GENOCIDE IN THRACE: A
CASE STUDY” they quickly bowed their heads and scurried away and hid from sight.
Not even a thank you, or an acknowledgement was made for the innocent victims of
the Greek Genocide by the diplomats or representatives of Greece in New York.
Flowers for the innocent victims of the Greek Genocide of 1914-1923, are for the
Greek diplomats of New York, Unwanted Flowers.
Mr. Kristis Ciakas has shot a video of the Unwanted Flowers, which may be
submitted to short film festivals, and for now is available on you tube, it is
titled….Unwanted Flowers.

Anatolian Greeks. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Association calls upon the
government of Turkey to acknowledge the genocides against these populations, to
