will cyprus manage to unite this time?...
for a better future for everyone living on the island?...


"...UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday (March 24th) congratulated Demetris Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat on the agreement they reached last week to resume re-unification talks within three months. The deal was reached Friday during the two leaders' first face-to-face talks since Christofias won the February 24th presidential runoff.

During the talks, Christofias and Talat decided that a number of working groups and technical committees would be established "in the most expeditious way possible" to work out the details of a re-unification agreement. The two leaders are due to meet again after three months to review the progress achieved by those panels, and "using their results, to start full-fledged negotiations" under Ban's auspices.

The two sides are also focusing on another element of Friday's agreement between Christofias and Talat, concerning the re-opening of a key crossing point on Ledra Street, the main commercial road in Nicosia. It is a major symbol of the island's 34-year long division.

The Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot mayors of Europe's last divided capital, Eleni Mavrou and Cemal Metin Bulutoglulari, met on Monday to discuss preparations for opening the crossing, which has been closed since 1963. Both said they were ready to take the necessary steps once they get the green light from the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, which has to first clear the area of any unexploded mines.

"We are waiting for the UN to give us the go ahead and we will decide the same day," Bulutoglulari said. "We need five days together to finish the area for the construction and the safety work and, hopefully, once we get the go ahead, we will start together helping each other and we will finish it at the beginning of the month (of April). But we do not know the date," he added..."



...fingers crossed!...

Hi Korkut,
Great smile, young and joyful. I like the pov and the pose, refreshing against the regular look. Your colour toning is strongly related to all your other work, i like it.
Regards, Henk

Hi Korkut,
a lovely portrait, she´s looking very natural. Good sharpness, I think a blurred background is not missing.
Your note is also very good, but I wonder how you had the idea to mix this nice portrait with politics.
Cheers Christian

What eyes!!
Like black diamonds, or like burn coals?
And the smile!! All the world in this smile!!
Excellent shot Korkut.
A portrait with name as our friend George (Polonaise) would have said.
I hope you gave the photo to her.
Best regards
Kostas

Smiles are so important in our lives but in some places the access is denied. Everybody in Cyprus deserve to smile especially these small children that are living a life that others have chosen for them. They deserve to move free in the island and they deserve to know that the "big" men are doing their best to secure a better future for everyone!
Let's cross our fingers as your lovely little girl does and hope that eveything will be ok!

Regards, Alex

Merhaba Korkut,

Harika bir bakisi yakalamissin... yuzundeki ifade, tebessum muthis yaa... mutlulugun fotografi bu olmali :)

The girl's expression is full of life, I was inspired and wanted to give a softer and smoother look, so I've created a workshop.

Great capture my friend, I'm so jealous but happy you got it and share it here.

We should thanks everyday to Almighty for populating our mother earth with the laughing little girls...

Call me a pervert but i think they are more beautiful than stars above and ocean waves and the Volcanoes, and...
They can substitute all of them above just about as beautifully as it is possible (:-)))

Cute beyond description...

All smiles, old buddy..

Hi Korkut,
Lovely vertical portrait of this beautiful young landy with such an infectious smile and large dark eyes. Wonderful clarity and razor sharp details to this fine image. Very informative note harboring the hopes for a peceful future.

Geia sou bostani mou!

THE most beautiful face I 've seen in my life!!! Maybe wait for about 15-20 years for my goddess? :-P

The Giritli

pırıl pırıl bir fotoğraf, ışıl ışıl parlayan gözler. Ne diyeyimki, çok çok güzel:) Ellerine sağlık.

An excellent portrait of a very beautiful child. I'm impressed.

What can I say ? I am impressed and under the charm. Very sensitive portrait of this girl. Kind of minimalistic and all in "finesse". Your touch is all there, look at that smile, that life in her eyes, superb light sepia, great work dear Korkut, I think it's perfect.
Great note too...my compliments.

Michèle

Fantastic portrait shot of this cute girl. Your photo model had a really professional attitude.

About Cyprus: I have no hope that the island will be reunited since no side really wants that.

I like your other latest postings btw. In case I get into the mood you will receive some more critiques from me (not for Mykonos though).

Cheers
Andreas

For the future of this generation, I wish there will be a bilateral satisfying solution.
Portrait is a great example of perfection.
Well done Korkut
