Let's hope we can keep this one civilized.
The question of why the Annan fiasco was rejected has come up many
times, here's a list of concessions the Hellinic Cypriots were expected
to make. Damn interesting if you ask me.
Here it is:
OXI ! NO !
The 5th Annan plan pays absolutely no heed to UN resolutions and has no respect for human rights or European democratic norms.
The text of the 5th Annan Plan can be found here http://www.annanplan.org/
Analysis of the 3rd Annan Plan can be found here http://www.enthymia.co.uk/annanplan/
Following are the main differences between the 5th Annan plan and the
3rd, which seeks to reward the RAPIST of Cyprus and punish their
innocent victims.
The illegal Turkish occupation forces will be allowed to permanently
remain on Cyprus soil in violation of over 100 UN Resolutions including
Security Council resolution 353 (1974) and General Assembly resolution
3212 (XX1X) (1974) endorsed unanimously by the by the Security Council
in resolution 365 (1974).
All of the Turkish colonists brought into Cyprus in violation of the Geneva Convention will be given full Cyprus citizenship.
Not one single refugee will receive full reinstatement of their
property as demanded by the European Court of Human Rights and the
north will be turned to an ethnically pure Turkish apartheid state
because Annan has given the Turks the right to stop all Greek Cypriots
from returning to the north from day one even if Turkey joins the EU!
In contravention of the Judgments of the European Court of Human
Rights, which the Anann Plan will strike out permanently those refugees
seeking reinstatement of their property, will NOT be allowed to return
to the north or to live in their own homes ever at all.
The refugees proprieties will all effectively be completely confiscated
since Annan states that the refugees will only be entitled to
reinstatement of 1/3 of the value of their property and 1/3 of the
total area except in the case of a dwelling that they have lived in for
10 years or built with their own hands and even then any land they own
greater than one donum will still be confiscated even for those whose
property is in Yialousa. This will make it totally impossible for
anyone to make a livelihood out of their own land and their businesses
and other assets. (Article 10, Para. 3c). If any Turkish Cypriot of
Turkish colonist has built onto the land or property of a refugee owner
he will be allowed to disposes the legal refugee owner and seek title
to the entire property even if the refugee owner wishes it to be
returned. On top of this even if a refugee were to get part of their
property back the restitutions on settlement, establishment and
ownership that are included in the Annan plan stop them from ever being
allowed to live in it, use it or sell it in a free market.
NOT ONE Greek Cypriot will even be allowed back to their homes in the
areas supposedly to be returned because Annan has allowed the illegal
occupiers to choose to be re-housed or to stay there forever. No
mechanism will exist to ensure that a refugee owner can repossess their
property since Annan has clearly stated that all the provisions in his
plan are in favour on the illegal occupiers and not the legal property
owners.
NOT ONE PENNY in compensation will ever be paid out to anyone seeking
compensation. Instead WORTHLESS compensation bonds and property
appreciation certificates will be issued which will NEVER be redeemable
since the refugees will unethically be asked to pay the compensation to
themselves with their own money instead of Turkey which the ECHR has
deemed legally culpable.
The Anann plan strips the refugees of 2/3 of their property against their will with no right to judicial recourse.
Attachment II Article 18 paragraph 5 states that NOT ONE PENNEY in
compensation will be paid out to the refugees until AFTER 25 years.
Article 18 paragraph 4 states that this compensation must be paid by the refugees themselves.
Article 18 paragraph 2 states that NO INTEREST will start accruing on claims until after 6 years.
Article 18 paragraph 1 states that instead of the value of the refugees
property being assessed on the basis of the value of comparable
properties in the free areas the value of the property will be based on
the current value in the occupied areas as it is today which of course
is more than 10 or 100 times lower.
The refugees will not only be STRIPPED of their property, they will
also be STRIPED of its value and they will not receive compensation
until after 25 years and then only if they pay the compensation to
themselves with their own money. While at the same time the Turks get
to keep the property they illegally occupy and will make a fortune when
the value of the property rises.
All cases being brought to the ECHR regarding compensation for loss of
use of property will be thrown out and all new applications will be
barred. Instead the refugees will once again be made to pay
compensation to themselves.
NOT EVEN ONE PERCENT of additional territory will be returned to the
Greek Cypriots. The occupation regime will be allowed to keep 29% of
Cyprus territory 90% of which legally belongs to the Greek Cypriot
refugees.
The Turkish Cypriots will be given 1/2 of the seats in the Senate even
though they only make up 10 percent of the population and Greek
Cypriots living in the occupied areas will not be allowed to vote for
their own representatives in that area but instead the people will vote
as Greek and Turkish Cypriots. (Annex I Article 22 Para. 3). In the
Chamber of Deputies the 10% Turkish Cypriot minority will be treated as
if it was 25%. The Turkish Cypriots will be given the right to
effectively veto all legislation if 25% of them do not agree. Worse
than that matters involving taxation, the federal budget, citizenship,
treaties, election of the presidential council and many other matters
will require 2/5 or 40% of the Turkish Cypriots to agree. This will
make Cyprus completely UNGOVERNABLE.
The Turkish Cypriots will be given 1/3 of the voting (total 6) and
non-voting seats on the Presidential Council and will also retain the
right to veto all decisions.
The Presidency will rotate from Greek Cypriot to Turkish Cypriot every
20 months. Previously the Greek Cypriots were allowed to have two
consecutive presidents followed by a Turkish Cypriot. Now the 10%
Turkish Cypriot minority are treated as if the make up half the
population. NO democratic accountability will exist whatsoever.
The Central Bank will treat the 10% Turkish Cypriot minority as if they made up 2/5 and 3/7 of the population.
The Supreme Court will treat the 10% Turkish Cypriot minority as if
they made 50% of the population with an unspecified equal number of
Greek and Turkish Cypriot judges leading to further deadlock.
The mechanism for resolving deadlock in any of the federal institutions
is tantamount to ANARCHY (Annex I Article 36 Para. 6) with each side
(any member of the Presidential Council, the President or
Vice-President of either Chamber of Parliament, or the Attorney-General
or the Deputy Attorney-General) being allowed to make an ad hoc interim
decision, which will inevitably be contrary to that of the other party.
None of the federal institutions will have any idea of who to follow
and the system of government will TOTALLY COLLAPSE.
In the transitional period the Turkish Cypriots will be allowed to
control the territory that will be allegedly by returned instead of the
UN which will mean that the Greek Cypriot refugees who seek to return
will have NO political representation to determine their own affairs at
all and will be subjected to the Turkish military and civilian
occupation. What happened in Constantinople will happen once again to
the people of Cyprus with the Annan plan being used to inflict
conditions of life on the Greek Cypriots calculated to bring about
their physical destruction in whole or in part.
In the transitional period there will be two UNELECTED co-presidents alternating every calendar month.
The members of the European Parliament allocated to Cyprus will NOT
even be allowed to be democratically elected but instead will be
appointed in a way that will treat the 10% Turkish Cypriot minority as
if the made up 1/3 of the population. Contrary to EU law and the
registration of the electorate which is now taking place in Cyprus for
the European elections which will allow 40,000 Europeans citizens to
take part in the European elections, NO EU citizens will be allowed to
vote for MEP's under the Anann plan.
The 10% Turkish Cypriot minority will be given four major departments
to control including Defence and Foreign Affairs while the 90% Greek
Cypriot majority will only be allowed four.
The Attorney General will be a Turkish Cypriot. The transitional
Supreme Court will be appointed by Kofi Annan himself and will include
three foreigners and will be headed by a foreigner thus THERE
WILL BE NO JUSTICE for the refugees at all.
NOT ONE of the illegal Turkish colonists will be repatriated. NO
PROVISIONS are made in the 5th Annan plan for their repatriation at
all. ALL of the Turkish Colonists who have been given citizenship by
the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION REGIME IN VIOLATION OF THE GENEVA CONVENTION
will be allowed to remain and given full Cyprus citizenship.
Greek EU citizens who have the legal right to reside and work anywhere
in the EU will be prevented from residing in Cyprus if their number
exceeds 5% of the Greek Cypriot population for 19 years. After 19
years Turks from Turkey will be allowed to flood the entire island
since the Cyprus people will have no control over citizenship.
The Greek Cypriots will NEVER be permitted to return and form the
majority in any of the villages they were ethnically cleansed from in
1974. Annans restrictions mean that even if a Greek Cypriot village is
empty today NO Greek Cypriot will ever be allowed back unless SIXTEEN
TIMES as many Turkish Cypriots are allowed to colonise it at the same
time (Article 3 Para 7 of the foundation agreement). These restrictions
because they are on a village-by-village basis will make it impossible
for the Greek Cypriots to form any kind of viable community in the
north.
The limits imposed by the Annan plan on the number of Greek Cypriots
who can go back to the occupied areas and that can reside in each
village in these areas as stated in Article 3 Paragraph 7, effectively
means that any Greek Cypriot who wishes to return to their home or
reside in northern Cyprus is effectively FORBIDDEN FROM HAVING CHILDREN
!
According to the Annan plan the restrictions in Article 3 Paragraph 7
are on a village by village basis and because the Annan plan also
deliberately denies all Greek Cypriots and their children the right to
hold Turkish Cypriot constituent sate citizenship because their mother
language is not Turkish, if a child is born to any Greek Cypriot couple
or several children are born to couples and the birth of these Greek
Cypriot children causes the population of Greek Cypriots to exceed 6%
of the population of the village they reside in, the Greek Cypriot
children will be thrown out of the places they live.
On top of this the limits on the number of Greek nationals that can
reside in Cyprus imposed by the Annan plan in Article 3 Paragraph 5,
also effectively means that Greek nationals who wish to live or work in
Cyprus are FORBIDDEN FROM HAVING CHILDREN !
In violation of EU law, from day one of the Annan plan taking effect
and even after 19 years or if Turkey ever joins the EU the Turks will
be allowed to prevent any unspecified and unlimited number Greek
Cypriots from residing anywhere in the north under Article 3 Para 6
despite the targets set by Annan so the claim that even a limited
number Greek Cypriots will be allowed to return is entirely false.
After 19 years the restrictions on the rights of settlement of the
Greek Cypriots will NOT BE lifted but will be MORE RESTRICTIVE than
ever before and on top of that mainland Turks will be allowed to flood
the entire island. NO Greek Cypriots will ever be allowed to settle in
the north by the Turks, not form day one and not even after 19 years.
The constitution of the component state that will be created in the
north states that will preserve its Turkish character and culture and
Muslim religion. No mention is made of the fact that before the Turkish
invasion 90% of its legal inhabitants and property owners were Greek
Cypriots and no commitment is made to preserve its original Greek
character, culture and religion. Turkish will be the only official
language and the use of Greek will be restricted by the law. Anyone
that does not have Turkish as their mother language will be subject to
arbitrary expulsion even after 19 years according to the Annan plan and
will not even have the right to vote. There will be nothing to stop the
state of affairs in southeast Turkey where the use and teaching of the
Kurdish language is forbidden, being implemented in the north of Cyprus
in the case of Greek under the provisions of the Annan plan which will
also allow the Turkish flag to be draped over every building as is the
situation today in the fascist police state set up by the Turks in
occupied Cyprus. The free formation and organisation of Greek
Cypriot political parties in the north will be virtually outlawed in
the same way as free Kurdish parties are outlawed in Turkey. (Articles
1, 3 para. 2 & para. 3, 73 para. 2, 74 para. 2, 76 para. 1 of the
so-called Turkish Cypriot constituent state constitution)
The Turks and I say Turks since almost the entire population of the
north will be made up of Turkish colonists will use Article 3 Para 6 to
justify their restrictions. Even if the Turks should choose to
recognise the targets of the Anann plan and there is no guarantee to
ensure that, Annan has made it clear that even after 19 years the
restrictions on the freedom of settlement will remain and the Greek
Cypriots will be limited to 18% of the population in each village in
the north so eventually an ethnically pure Turkish state will be
created as a FAIT ACOMPLIS in the same manner as the Genocide of the
Greeks of Constantinople all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the Annan plan demands that all rights of appeal to the European
Court of Human Rights as strictly forbidden and requests the ECHR to
throw out all cases no Greek or Greek Cypriot will have any means of
securing their basic fundamental human rights.
The Turkish Armed forces will not be reduced until after 7 years and
then only to 6000 only if Turkey gives its consent, which it is not
required to do by the Annan plan. Even if Turkey joins the EU or 2018
the Turkish troops will still remain on Cyprus soil. All the Turkish
forces will be FULLY ARMED WITH WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND WILL BE
FREE TO CONDUCT MANOEUVRES. The UN will not have any powers to
intervene to ensure even basic compliance with its targets.
Instead of the so-called federal government protecting the whole of
Cyprus it is the constituent states that are mandated to do this.
Cyprus will be left with NO armed forces and NO protection against
renewed Turkish aggression and GENOCIDE. No peace-keeping force will be
stationed on Cyprus to defend it and its people. The Turks will
eventually be allowed to seize the whole of Cyprus.
UN Security Council resolution 353 (1974) demands the complete and
immediate withdrawal of all Turkish occupation forces from Cyprus soil.
The Annan plan fails to secure this and instead allows the occupation
forces to remain. UN General Assembly resolution 3212 (XX1X) (1974)
which was endorsed unanimously by the General Assembly and by the
Security Council in resolution 365 (1974) also demands the complete and
immediate withdrawal of all Turkish occupation forces without exception
and demands that all of the refugees be allowed to return to their
homes in safety. The Annan plan instead of allowing all of the refugees
to return in safety imposes measures deliberately designed to prevent
the refugees from ever returning and expressly limits the number of
refugees who will be allowed back. UN Resolution 1987/19 (1987) of the
Sub-comission on Prevention of Discrimination and Pretection of
Minorites demands "the full restoration of all human rights to the
whole population of Cyprus, including the freedom of movement, the
freedom of settlement and the right to property". The Annan plan pays
no heed to this resolution whatsoever and instead overturns it by
deliberately restricting the freedom of movement, the freedom of
settlement and the right to property of the Greek Cypriots. The same
resolution also condemns the "implantation of thousands of settlers
from Turkey in the occupied territories in Cyprus". The Annan plan
instead of demanding that these illegal colonists who have been
implanted in the occupied areas of Cyprus in direct violation of the
Geneva Convention be repatriated to Turkey allows them all to stay.
The Annan plan construes to inflict conditions of life on the Greek
Cypriots calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole
or in part and is thus in direct and deliberate contravention of
Article 2(c) of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide which was ratified in UN General Assembly resolution
260 A (III) of 9 December 1948 and came into force on 12 January 1951.
Under Artice 3(b) of the above Convention the act of conspiracy to
commit genocide is punishable. The Anann plan conspires to commit
genocide.
Under Article 3(c) the Convention direct and public incitement to
commit genocide is punishable. The referenda proposed by Kofi Annan to
endorse his plan incite the public to commit genocide. These
referenda also contravene UN Security Council resolutions 541 (1983)
and 550 (1984) by purporting to recognise the constructional organs of
the so-called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" which these
resolutions have declared legally invalid and have called on called on
all states "not to facilitate or in any way assist this the aforesaid
secessionist entity".
The UN Secretary General has not only breached his own organisations
resolutions and charter but he has conspired to commit genocide and
incited the perpetration of genocide. Under Article 4 of the Convention
"persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in
article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally
responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."
To sum up the Anann plan pays no heed to UN resolutions or
international law and has absolutely no respect for justice or human
rights. Its underlying principle and only purpose is to create an
apartheid state and legalise the products of brutal Turkish aggression
and savage unreciprocated Turkish perpetrated ethnic cleansing and
crimes against humanity. The Annan plan violates every principle by
which the UN was created and contravenes the European Convention for
the Protection of Human Rights and the International Declaration on
Human Rights. It is completely undemocratic, unviable, unworkable,
unjust and unethical and deprives the blameless Greek Cypriot victims
of Turkeys aggression of their land and property that the European
Court of Human Rights has judged that they still legally own and makes
them pay compensation to themselves out of their own pockets while at
the same time awarding their property to the people that illegally
occupy it. The 90% Greek Cypriot majority gain absolutely nothing from
this plan and will loose everything that they still have. They are made
into second-class citizens in their own country and within the European
Union and are deprived of their fundamental rights to freedom of
movement, freedom of settlement and right to buy and own property.
Their equality is not respected in any way shape or form and they are
even deprived to the right to vote in democratic elections and the
right to govern their own country. The illegal Turkish occupation is
allowed to continue and the occupation troops and Turkish colonists are
allowed to stay on Cyprus soil in direct violation of over 100 UN
Security Council resolutions and the Geneva Convention. Deliberately
and consequently the Greek Cypriot refugees are prevented from
returning to their homes in safety as these resolutions and the
judgements of the European Court of Human Rights demand.
The Annan plan is a hideous abomination and its creation on the basis
of the discredited racist ideology of apartheid and appeasement of the
brutal aggressor is one of the sickest and most obscene crimes against
humanity in history and akin to legitimising the NAZI holocaust and
giving thanks admonition and reward to its unrepentant perpetrators.
It is in the best interests of the people of Cyprus to reject the Annan
plan unequivocally and to demand the immediate resignation of the Annan
plan's creators and all those involved in putting this despicable
hideous illegal and unethical monstrosity together. These criminals
including Kofi Annan, Richard Holbrooke and Sir David Hannay who are
all responsible for conspiring to perpetrate and incite a monstrous act
of Genocide must be indicted and put on trial in front of the
International Criminal Court and sentenced for their heinous and
unethical behaviour
We appeal to the Republic of Cyprus and its instruments to rebuff all US, UN and British
efforts aimed at undermining its functionality, its aspirations and
security through the Annan Plan and through future consideration of
Turkish membership.
We appeal to the Republic of Cyprus and its instruments to demand
without hesitation that Ankara accept the principles and the foundation
jurisprudence of the EU in its bid to secure a date for accession
negotiations and that it remove all its troops and colonists from
Cyprus unconditionally and withdraw from
derogation demands regarding the reconcilement in Cyprus.
Stability in Cyprus can be achieved and ensured through the instruments
and institutions of the EU. The only way Cyprus can function within the
EU is as a multi-ethnic unitary state with no barriers to the freedoms
of movement, settlement and property ownership and with full respect
and implantation of the principles of justice, democracy and majority
rule as in every other EU member.
There can be no room inside the EU for acquiescence to blackmail to the
non-democratic mechanisms and structures of military regimes.
We demand swift and decisive action to ensure that Cyprus enters the EU without incident and threat from the regime in Ankara.

Now let's take this and just change the names around and put T.C where
H.C is written. Would the T.C's accept it, would they consider it a
fair plan????
