	Protest against Annans unjust "plan" for Cyprus
		The unethical Annan plan must be changed so that it does not legalise theft and ethnic cleansing and guarantees that the refugees can to return to their homes in safety and that their democratic rights in the place the choose to reside are respected.
		Cyprus demanded representation proportional to population on the council which means 2 seats out of 10 and the British and Americans who devised the “plan” in bad faith promptly reduced the seats on the council to 6 so that proportionally with population could not be implemented in practice.
		Annan’s “plan” violates 10 United Nations Security Council Resolutions which demand a solution based on a Federation and not on the Swiss model which is a Confederation and the basis of his plan.

		In November 2002, Secretary-General Annan released a comprehensive plan for the resolution of the Cyprus issue.
		The Plan did not include a settlement regarding the repatriation of Turkish settlers living on Greek Cypriot owned land in the 'TRNC'.
		The Plan gave Turkish Cypriots a disproportionately large number of seats in Parliament (a quarter of seats in the Chamber of Deputies and half of the seats in the Senate).

	THE ANNAN PLAN FOR CYPRUS: WHY THE NEUTRAL VOTER SAID “NO”
		Cyprus was being brought into the European Union (EU), therefore bringing the benefits of EU membership, more development to the island, and allowing greater integration into the free trade economy of the rest of the EU.
		The argument of this thesis is that the Annan Plan did not attract the approval of the “neutral voters”.
		The legal details used in the Annan Plan and the considerable length of the 183 page the document would have made reading and understanding the document to be a great undertaking on the part of the average voting citizen of Cyprus.

	Kibris Op-Ed: The Annan Plan: Securing Cyprus' Future for All
		One of the difficulties in evaluating a settlement based on the Annan plan is the considerable amount of misinformation – even disinformation – circulating about the plan itself.
		On the contrary, the Plan explicitly enshrines the principle of bi-zonality, asserts the political equality of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, and declares the two constituent states of the United Cyprus Republic are of equal status.
		The United States does not want to see a return to the dark days before 1974; we are convinced that the Annan Plan provides safeguards for all people on the island to be able to trust in their hopes and enjoy the benefits of joining Europe.

		Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey occupied the northern third of the island in response to a coup in Nicosia aimed at union with Greece.
		Under the Annan plan, a complex document of thousands of pages, territory under Turkish Cypriot control would be reduced from 37 percent to 29 percent of the island.

		The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti) is a breakaway de facto state proclaimed in the northern third of the island of Cyprus in 1983, nine years after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
		The failure of Turkey to withdraw its troops from the island and restore the Republic of Cyprus after the collapse of the coup attempt is widely regarded internationally as a violation of the Treaty of Guarantee, UN resolutions and international law.
		The number of seats assigned to Cyprus in the European Parliament (6 seats) is based on the population of the entire island.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Cyprus split on Annan plan
		Impassioned yes and no rallies were continuing across Cyprus today on the eve of the vote on reunification despite the fact that most commentators - including the president, Tassos Papadopoulos - have already consigned the 9,000-page Annan plan to the burgeoning file marked "failed agreements".
		The Cyprus Mail - which leads today with the headline "Hate and fear on the streets" - says the real threat comes from within the country, where incidents of violence and intimidation have marred the democratic process.
		Papadopoulos was elected president after the EU decided to admit Cyprus, and after he expressed reservations about the plan, which he only accepted as a basis for negotiation.

	Cyprus :: YES or NO to Annan's plan?
		The plan is worst than the current situation, and I would dare to say worst than agreeing to have 2 separate countries.
		The good parts of Annan's plan are the following: We get some land back, some refugees will be able to go to their homes, the rest will get a refund for the land that they lost, we will not have big problems to enter the EU.
		The difference is that the central goverment should be the strong one, not the governments of the 2 states.

	Congressman Mike Bilirakis: Press Release
		The Annan plan sets complicated and restrictive provisions regarding the right of Greek-Cypriot refugees to return to their homes in the north.
		On the issue of property rights, the Annan plan allows for one-third restitution and two-thirds compensation for property owned in the north by Greek-Cypriots who will be losing the use of their properties.
		If the plan is voted down, it would be an indication that the Greek-Cypriots, whose country suffered an illegal invasion in 1974, and a community which has for three decades advocated for a settlement, felt that they would be giving up far more than they would be gaining.

	Socialism Today - The UN peace plan for Cyprus
		THIS PLAN IS an attempt to enforce, through massive pressure on the ruling classes in the north and south of Cyprus, an agreement for the creation of a so-called ‘common state’, which would consist of two ‘constituent states’.
		The main criticism of the Annan Plan is that it is not viable.
		There is not a hint of a class analysis of the Cyprus problem, no mention of the working class, of the role it has to play as a class independently in the north or the south.

	December 19, 2002 CYPRUS: IS ANNAN PLAN 'THE LAST CHANCE FOR PEACE'?
		Mixed reception in Cyprus, but most see plan's importance-- The peace plan for Cyprus put forward by UN Secretary General Annan met with widely divergent reactions in Cyprus not only between but within the Greek and Turkish communities.
		Greek, Turkish media urge plan as basis for negotiation-- Most papers in Greece and Turkey, though holding that the plan favored the opposite side, were muted in their criticism.
		Editor-in-chief Ismet Berkan argued in the intellectual-liberal Radikal (11/22): "Denktas finally unveiled his real intention by describing the UN Cyprus plan as 'not worthy of negotiation.' It seems that the main goal for the Turkish Cypriot leader is to preserve the current deadlock on the issue and not to work for a solution....

		Annan's plan envisages Cyprus' reunification as two separate Greek and Turkish Cypriot states linked through a weak central government.
		If the deadline is not met, Cyprus will in theory be admitted to the EU as a whole, but under the internationally recognized Greek Cypriot government.

	Thesis on After the decleration of Kofi Annan's plan - Cyprus
		The decleration of Kofi Annan's plan in 12 November 2002, can be considered as one of the most important stage for the history of Turkish - Greek relations and Cyprus problem that it has brought them into a new phase and intensified the debates by getting the agreement efforts very nearer to a solution.
		…the solution of the Cyprus problem would support Turkey in her road to E.U and would obtain K.K.T.C the recognition in the international arena which also would improve their economy that is weakened by embargos and wither away their dependecy to Turkey.
		Annan plan has to be reshapened by strict diplomatic negotiations and agreed on later in order not to lose the opportunity for Turkish Cypriots to enter the E.U. Need a custom written paper?

		It would be wrong to consider this a ‘late effort,’ because the political conjuncture concerning Cyprus is actually processing in favor of Turkish Cypriots, though slowly.
		The Cyprus action plan which was announced by Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul this week should be evaluated as part of this.
		This action plan presents the issues which are known in a well-organized package and suggests a method protecting the interests of all the parties in a very good time.

	Cyprus' economy and Annan plan - Turkish Daily News Mar 04, 2003
		Because the practicability of the Annan plan may decrease and even disappear if the plan creates a burden too heavy to bear on the weak Turkish Cypriot economy.
		In the 1963-74 era, this embargo was a part of the oppression at the hands of Greek Cypriots, while in the post-1974 era Turkish Cypriots faced an embargo imposed by the international community in all aspects.
		Of course, there is another way out: That the Annan plan is signed now but entry of Turkish Cyprus to the EU takes place when Turkey joins.

		Our correspondent says Mr Annan's main proposals are already known: the establishment of a loosely-federated state; and the return to northern Cyprus for some, but not all, of the 180,000 Greek Cypriots who left when Turkish troops occupied that part of the island in 1974.
