Another year and another march towards the centre of London to mark the illegal invasion and subsequent occupation of the Republic of Cyprus a member state of the European Union and whilst we are told that our 'leaders' are preparing us for a possible solution (we heard that one before) no one is holding their breath. We have somehow failed to reverse what clearly is an illegal act by a country that professes to be European in culture and outlook.
I understand that the Cyprus Federation with Peter Droussiotis will be heading the march and the presentations in Trafalgar square on the 19th. We must mobilise and support the event as we have done in previous years as individuals. But we must also look at whether the framework we have operated within for 34 years is adequate and examine other ways to highlight our just cause but more of that after the 19th. Lets just see how many people under 30 will be at the march and that would tell us whether the current system we have is capable of supporting any real efforts...
