-A Small Contribution to the non-resolution of the Cyprus Problem
+**A Small Contribution to the non-resolution of the Cyprus Problem**
 A two-day meeting of Greek Cypriots (GC) and Turkish Cypriots (TC) was held in mid-September at the Ledra Palace Hotel (a hotel located in the buffer zone and monitored by UNFICYP) to discuss ways of "citizen participation in the Federation". The meeting was organised by a group of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot intellectuals from the broader reformist left who [[en:magazines:entostonteixon:no_41:berlin| first met last winter in Berlin]] under the auspices of an organisation of the German Green Party. After the first meeting in Berlin, it was decided to continue and expand the contacts through further meetings in Ledra Palace (again under the auspices of the German Greens). The Greek Cypriot group undertook to send some 40 invitations to Cypriots. The invitations to the Greek Cypriots were sent by name in order to exclude from the meeting any Greek Cypriot who could spoil the image the Greek Cypriot side wanted to present to the Turkish Cypriots (we do not know what exactly happened with the Turkish Cypriots).
-While "personal" invitations were sent to all political " rapprochement" political spaces, the Marxist editorial group [[en:groups:ergatikidimokratia| Workers' Democracy]] [Ergatiki Dimokratia] was deliberately left out (and even after a vote by the Berlin "group"), which constitutes an important part of the anti-nationalist and anti-patriotic front built mainly around the committee of support for the [[en:groups:epitropi_simparastasis_parpa|conscientious objector Giannis Parpas]]. This 'front' has recently come under repeated political attacks which, for various reasons, have for the most part fallen on the Workers' Democracy group. To these attacks is now added that of their exclusion from contact with the TCs (the only reason why it might have been worthwhile to be at this meeting was contact with TCs). Two nominal invitations were sent to the Limassol milieu, which is the other important part of the anti-patriotic, anti-nationalist ‘front’. The main aim of this action was to split this front on the one hand, and on the other hand to ensure the alibi that some people from the committee of support for Giannis Parpas had been invited anyway. Here we have to admit that because Workers' Democracy is a much more coherent political group than the disparate milieu of Limassol, it was also much more dangerous for them.

 After many discussions, a part of the Limassol milieu together with antiauthoritarians-internationalists from other cities decided to denounce the GC hypocrisy at the meeting and published the [[en:leaflets:unclassified:antieksousiastes_epanaprosegisi|proclamation]] that we publish here and which was also sent to some Turkish Cypriots who took part in the meeting (through our comrade who held the invitation).

 Until today, we knew that the mechanisms of repression of the state and capital were the army, the police, the schools, the psychiatric hospitals. Now we know that along with them have been added the Greek Cypriot ‘rapprochement’ state intellectuals and social-patriots. How else could we explain the fact that these gentlemen invite representatives from all the supposedly re-reunificationist areas to such a meeting - for representatives of various areas and political organisations are involved, and the tricks of personal invitations are always the same - and leave out a political organisation whose contribution to the unmasking of Greek Cypriot nationalism and to the cause of reunification has been substantial. How else could we explain the fact that some of us from the more general autonomous-antiauthoritarian-internationalist milieu in Limassol (and not only), while initially invited to participate in the meeting, are then excluded from all the processes of constituting this initiative by not being notified of the meetings-discussions of the Greek Cypriots participating in this meeting and which preceded today's meeting in Ledra Palace.
-No, we are not pretending to be the lawyer of [[en:groups:ergatikidimokratia|Workers' Democracy]] [Ergatiki Dimokratia], nor are we agents of Denktaş, as EPIKAIRI will have informed you, dear Greek Cypriot  ‘rapprochers’. It is just that all this makes Stalin turn in his grave with joy feeling proud of the descendants he left on this planet. For if Stalin had suppressed by brute force an entire revolutionary movement because they simply disagreed with him, these gentlemen, with the power granted to them by the Greek Cypriot state, are suppressing by the force of exclusion a part - if not the whole - of the internationalist-revolutionary milieu that was built mainly around the [[en:groups:epitropi_simparastasis_parpa|committee of support for conscientious objector Giannis Parpas]], who is still in prison for believing in Reunification and refusing to take up arms against the Turkish Cypriots.

 This meeting is not about rapprochement. This meeting is part of the plan of the Greek Cypriot state which is looking forward to spreading its totalitarian rule on the island. The Turkish Cypriots are again the instrument whose desire and need for another life as well as their disgust for the militaristic regime of the TRNC is now being exploited by the "leftist public relations ministry" of the Greek Cypriot state. Because when the Turkish Cypriots attend these meetings they do so at the risk of losing their heads while the Greek Cypriot state intellectuals do so with the blessing of KEMA and its technocrats.
