Dear Slibovitz,

1. "Memorandum for Reunification": Voting "NO" was a painful decision for the Cypriots. If you read the plan, you can also understand it. The Greek Cypriots should have paid for everything and the new State had no chance to function effectively.

2. "Trade office": it`s a recognition from the back door. The State of Cyprus, as the only official authority on the island, had a right to stop these illegal procedure. If Hamas, an organization without legal status for almost all the world, opened a trade office in Athens, what could be the Israeli reaction (there is no comparison on terrorism etc)?

3. "Greek Junta and coup in Cyprus": The coup in Cyprus was a political desicion of Junta without a general approval. The coup was against the Greek Cypriot`s leadership. Tell me frankly: If I accussed the Modern Turkey because the Ottomans sold Cyprus to England in 1878, could n`t you tell me that I`m victim of "Greek propaganda". Honestly, that`s your problem.
