At least I have efforts elsewhere(not on this net!! I gave up on this net

You tell me whether THAT EXACT VERY SAME APPROACH HAS HELPED TO IMPROVE 
the situation just ANY the past 18 years.

NOPE it hasn't and don't tell me that it's only the Turkish side that has 
hindered negotiations because there are two sids in this issue and both 
participated equal in all the negotiations since 1974.

           Yes, there are/were some cuts for maintenance too 
           but I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about the cuts
'          from the Greek side. They do happen. 

Our electricity distribution network is well-maintained by the way.
