It is highly unlikely that they will accept any agreement based on equality of power and sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting developed into general discussion points on how to be more effective and unitary principally against the Greek, Greek Cypriot and Armenian propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>It was unanimously agreed by all the NGOs present that all groups should put aside their past differences and unite as a stronger and effective lobby force.\u00a0It was generally agreed that they should use the relevant umbrella organisations such as the\u00a0UK Turkish Cypriot Konsey\u00a0and the Turkish Federation. Turkish Forum, World Turkish Alliance which serves Turkish communities worldwide will help co-ordinate efforts with its mass distribution lists, grassroots teams and distinguished advisors in five continents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>T\u00fcrk ve K\u0131br\u0131s T\u00fcrk Sivil Toplum \u00d6rg\u00fctleri daha g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc bir lobi kuvveti olu\u015fturmak i\u00e7in topland\u0131<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>K\u0131br\u0131s Sorunu&#8217;nu tart\u0131\u015fmak amac\u0131 ile\u00a09\u00a0\u00a0May\u0131s 2010 Pazar g\u00fcn\u00fc\u00a0Londra\u2019da Sofra Restorant\u2019ta toplant\u0131 yap\u0131ld\u0131.Toplant\u0131 ayn\u0131 zamanda daveti veren ATCA (Association of\u00a0Turkish Cypriots\u00a0Abroad), Turkish Forum D\u00fcnya T\u00fcrkleri Birli\u011fi (Turk\u0131sh Forum World Turkish Alliance) ve UK (Birle\u015fik Krall\u0131k) Konsey\u2019i taraf\u0131ndan organize edildi.<\/p>\n<p>Toplant\u0131ya ana konusmac\u0131 olarak misafir olan d\u00fcnyaca \u00fcnl\u00fc tarih\u00e7i ve yazar Profes\u00f6r\u00a0\u00a0Doktor Selahi Sonyel kat\u0131ld\u0131.
