@Strovoliotis Εντάξει- μην κάνεις τόσο σκληρή αυτοκριτική- στο να βγει η πενταετία συνέτεινε και η πανδημία που "σπατάλησε" δύο χρόνια και ότι με τα αέρια "καθησαμε φρόνιμοι" αφού ακόμα και αν δεν πήραμε εμείς το μύνημα της Τουρκίας, το πήραν οι εταιρείες και εμείναν μακρυά από την ΑΟΖ μας.

@makdrou Είναι απίστευτο για ένα σοβαρό διεθνές πρόβλημα, όπως το Κυπριακό, όλη η διαχείριση και οι δηλώσεις γύρω από αυτό να είναι 100% για εσωτερική κατανάλωση και για αποκόμιση εντυπώσεων μόνο στο εσωτερικό - εδώ και πολλά χρόνια.

Το μακρινό ταξίδι μας με το τρένο για την Οδησσό, σε συνθήκες απόλυτης συσκότισης μέχρι το πρωί, οι πρώτες εικόνες και κουβέντες μας με τους κατοίκους μιας πόλης η οποία περιμένει την επίθεση από μέρα σε μέρα και από ώρα σε ώρα #UkraineUnderAttack

@FionaMullenCY I think what the gentleman is saying is that the lira is doing well from the angle that the CBRT's monetary policy - and its future intentions -probably justify a much cheaper TRY - even cheaper than the current record low levels.

I reckon on Monday, a major milestone of the COVID 19 global outbreak will be hit; the number of cases outside China will exceed those inside China.

Italy and South Korea saw their first #coronavirus cases in late January but they both had different testing responses and dramatically different outcomes. The takeaway: aggressive and sustained testing is a powerful tool for fighting the virus https://t.co/HERNt9Qta4

@alaidi Not a bad call...

[UniteCyprusNow @UniteCyprusNow]

In her presentation, @FionaMullenCY explained that GC & TC economies suffer from competitiveness problems. GC business have the highest electricity prices in the EU & gas finds are small. TCC have female labour force problem and high inflation. These would change with a solution.

[UniteCyprusNow @UniteCyprusNow]

Mustafa Besim emphasised that even with conservative figures, we still get a better forecast for a solution scenario than a non solution scenario. Tourism, manufacturing, construction and transport sectors will be creating most jobs.

[UniteCyprusNow @UniteCyprusNow]

Addressing the fears of each community: GC worries: security, potential taxpayer burden, competition, size of the bureaucracy. TC worries: security, competition, EU readiness, language barrier, preparedness of public sector.

[UniteCyprusNow @UniteCyprusNow]

In his presentation @mjflorent highlighted that for benefits to be more, actions need to be taken now. After the solution we need transparent, robust checks & balances. Transitional arrangements needed:TCC needs to harmonise, incomes need to be converge.Ensure that everyone wins.

@TarjeiJS Oh not fair! :)There are some exciting Petroff games sometimes... Still, boring or more quiet lines exist in every opening and it takes two to tango. White could have gone for riskier/modern 5. Nc3 line for instance and Black then also chose the safer Nc6/Be7 path instead of Bd6.
