We must remember that the Anan plan was not a plan for reunification of the Republic of Cyprus, but rather a plan to eliminate the Republic and legitimise the illegal Turkish invasion and ongoing occupation of the island state.

Those who wrote this monstrocity of a plan did not write it for the people of Cyprus. The architects of the Anan plan wrote it for the benefit of others: Under the prposed plan – even the British bases in Cyprus acquired territorial waters [note that according to international law, territorial waters can only be owned/acquired by legitimate states - sovereign bases are not states!]. This situation would not only have given Britain the “right” to tap into the natural gas resources found under the sea between Cyprus and Egypt, it may have also created a dangerous precedent in international law with respect to ownership of territorial waters.

The proposed plan was not consistent with the principles of international law, the EU acuis communaitaire, and even the UN Charter!

It was simply unacceptable. Thankfully the people of Cyprus were wise enough to reject such a plan, even under the dark duress and blackmail directed by foreign diplomats during the weeks/days which preceded the referendum.

The fact that the Anan plan was proposed as a solution to the Cyprus problem and was put before the people of Cyprus, proves as another example that the United Nations is not the platform for reaching just and viable solutions to such international issues.

You successfully applied some crucial provisions of the Koffee Anan Plan which are against fundamental human rights in the case of Turks and you proved that the plan cannot be workable!

Well done!
