Να τα μας...Αναστασιάδης: Η συνεκμετάλλευση του αερίου με την Τουρκία είναι η λύση.

“Η δεινή θέση που έχει περιέλθει η χώρα μας, επιτέλους βρίσκει διέξοδο. Μετά από συντονισμένες ενέργειες με τους φίλους και γείτονες μας, όχι μόνον δίνουμε τέλος στην εχθρότητα, αλλά ως καλοί γείτονες πλέον απολαμβάνουμε σε κλίμα αμοιβαιότητας τα
οφέλη από την συνεκμετάλλευση των φυσικών πόρων.
Αυτή την Κυριακή, σε καλώ να ψηφίσεις “ΝΑΙ” στην συνεκμετάλλευση ώστε να επανέλθει ο μισθός σου στα προηγούμενα επίπεδα, να ξαναανοίξουν οι λογαριασμοί σου και να γεμίσουν πάλι τα σούπερ μάρκετ.
Σε καλώ να πεις “ΝΑΙ” διότι οι συνέπειες του ΟΧΙ θα είναι ολέθριες.
Και επειδή ξέρω βρωμοκυπραίε ότι πάλι θα πεις ΟΧΙ, δεν θα σε ρωτήσω καν αυτή την φορά και θα τα δώσω όλα μόνος μου”
Δηλώσεις του κυρίου Αναστασιάδη που θα γίνουν σε λίγο καιρό.

Το “γιατί”, διαβάστε το στους ΝΥΤ σήμερα:
BRUSSELS — With its economy in tatters, Cyprus urgently needs to tap its natural gas deposits. But opening the spigot will force the easternmost member of the European Union to make the tough choices it has long been loath to confront.

Cyprus Sets Up Tight Controls as Banks Prepare to Reopen (March 28, 2013)
Since the discovery of the gas two years ago in nearby waters, Cyprus has been laying plans to get the gas to market by circumventing Turkey, which has occupied the northern third of the island for nearly 40 years.
But in less than a week, those Cypriot ambitions have been dealt a double blow.
On Monday, Cyprus was forced to shrink a banking sector that could have helped channel capital for vital energy infrastructure as a condition for a €10 billion, or $13 billion, bailout from the European lenders and the International Monetary Fund. The deal fended off an uncontrolled default and the country’s exit from the euro, but snatched away the keys to Cyprus’s prosperity in recent decades.
Three days earlier, Israel — on whose additional gas Cyprus was relying to turn itself into an energy export hub — mended fences with Turkey. The reconciliation, over an Israeli raid three years ago that left nine Turks dead on an aid vessel bound for Gaza, has opened the way for normal relations between Israel and Turkey that could include direct cooperation in the energy sector, bypassing Cyprus.
The sudden reversal of fortunes implies that fiercely self-reliant Cypriots may need to brush up on their own relations with Turkey to make its gas wealth a reality.
“The saddling of Cyprus with so much debt could be an indirect way of the E.U. pushing Greek Cypriots into some kind of resolution of the Cyprus problem,” said Fiona Mullen, director of Sapienta Economics, a consulting firm based in Nicosia. “If you have to pledge the wealth of future generations to save your souls today, then this puts a premium on making as much revenue out of the gas as fast as possible.”
E.U. lawmakers also regard the Cypriots’ desperate need for cash as leverage for a settlement with Turkey, but underline the huge political challenges.
For Cyprus and Turkey, “gas exploration and export could be the coal and steel commodity that united France and Germany after the war,” said Andrew Duff, a British member of the European Parliament, referring to the foundations of economic alliance that developed into the modern-day European Union.
“The thing that we haven’t as yet seen in the Eastern Mediterranean that we saw after the war here is leadership of a statesmanlike quality that can carry such a deal through,” said Mr. Duff, who participates in an E.U.-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee.
The two halves of the island have been split between the mainly Turkish-speaking north, occupied by Turkey since an invasion in 1974, and the internationally recognized, mainly Greek-speaking Republic of Cyprus in the south.
Both sides have sparred over ownership of the gas, creating another obstacle to reunification rather than an incentive to cooperate. Yet the closest natural customer is Turkey, which imports most of its oil and gas and is the biggest potential, and rapidly growing, consumer.
Those tensions bubbled to the surface again last weekend when the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned the Cypriots against making the gas part of a potential deal, now apparently off the table, to repay bailout loans to the Union or Russia.
“It is not acceptable that the Greek Cypriot side uses the economic crisis it is facing as an opportunity to create new fait accomplis,” the ministry said in a statement. The “only way to exploit the natural resources of the island” is “the clear consent of the Turkish Cypriot side regarding the sharing of these natural resources,” according to the ministry.
On Wednesday, the Turkish energy minister, Taner Yildiz, said his government was suspending planned projects with the Italian energy giant Eni partly over the energy company’s involvement in energy exploration in Cyprus.
Cyprus has nurtured ties with Israel to protect future gas facilities to produce and deliver liquefied natural gas, or L.N.G., drawn from offshore fields in the Eastern Mediterranean and to avoid the need for a pipeline to Turkey to reach markets.
