Annan Plan For Cyprus

Annan Plan For Cyprus


The Annan Plan was a United Nations proposal to resolve the Cyprus dispute. The proposal suggested to restructure the Republic of Cyprus as a "United Republic of Cyprus", which would be a federation of two states. It was revised a number of times before being put to the people of Cyprus in a referendum. Greek Cypriots rejected the proposal by 76%, while 65% of the Turkish Cypriots accepted it.

Famous quotes containing the word plan:

    “The inference is, that God has restated the superiority of the West. God always does like that when a thousand white people surround one dark one. Dark people are always “bad” when they do not admit the Divine Plan like that. A certain Javanese man who sticks up for Indonesian Independence is very lowdown by the papers, and suspected of being a Japanese puppet.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
