What guarantees could be given to the affected parties for future developments? How committed could the international community be in long-term in providing the necessary guarantees?

engines. Every morning I would sit on my elegantly decorated balcony, and watch the Turkish men setting up everything at the harbour. What show-offs they were! They would stand on their boats posing, with their shirts off and wearing fake designer sunglasses. The people were quite friendly however, even though they loved themselves. Every restaurant I walked past had someone standing outside, begging people to come inside. One of them actually dragged me inside, literally. I thought it was
