Thanks for the link Mark...and I really do want there to be some sort of solution....but all I'm hearing is blah , blah , blah , blah.



If progress HAS been made already,why not tell us what they are?

At least we may then feel more optimistic.



The next round regarding property is going to be a killer though isn't it?

Can't see that being settled over a 2 hour lunch with coffee and biscuits!



Rightly or wrongly I feel that they are just going through the motions,and powers bigger than Cyprus , Greece or Turkey will force a resolution.

Hi Cronos



a lot of the N.Ireland talks that were leaked failed, and the ones that brought about the Good Friday Agreement were kept under wraps.



Lots of "interested parties" WANT the talks to collapse..



Pilgrim.. the bigger powers allowed Cyprus to end up in the mess it is to achieve their own agenda - deflect the agenda for independence - divide and rule - and keep the bases..



May be a new generation realises that and we will yet see CYPRIOTS sort themselves out - with SUPPORT from the countries that helped BUGGER up the island !



I'm the external optimist..
