I just wondered what people saw happening in the immediate future. We are pressing for recognition and will continue to do so. It seems that Europes hands are tied but they did also say that to Nelson Mandela so who knows. There are other places on earth other than Europe though so the probability is quite high that even a couple of countries will eventually recognise the TRNC/KKTC. Even if this does not happen then we can go on like this forever I suppose until Turkeys EU hopes are dashed when she will annex the north. We also have the situation of Taiwan to look forward to. In other words, the people of the TRNC/KKTC have something to look forward to so hope is high. We can always have the prospect that the "RoC" will do something that will shock us all and get off its high horse. Although all this sounds provocative and as if I am gloating, I don't mean it to be. It is just my bull in a china shop technique that you all know and love.
When it comes to the "RoC", what are its options besides waiting to wage war on us it is getting nowhere. Not one single soldier has left the island and not one single inch of land has been handed over. Umpteen law decisions have gone its way but it cannot enforce a single one so is this the only options that the "RoC" is offering us. Dissolve or death?
No one to answer???????
Here’s some miscellaneous thoughts Zan…
The UN resolutions will never go away unless revoked or modified by the UN, and the chances of that happening is remote.
TC's are slowly assimilating with the RoC out of need for jobs etc. Every year more and more will become reliant on the south.
If Turkey is taken over by the hard liners then Turkey’s standing will decrease and the RoC’s increase.
Europe can’t offer you anything unless it goes via the RoC for legal reasons and that can’t change… for legal reasons again.
You’re locked in a catch-22 and reliant on Turkey remaining as strong and as influential as possible for you to “hold out”. How long can she last though?
The RoC is clearly going for a long term “solution” and not prepared to give you any special rights or territory and in the meantime more and more Turks are arriving among you thinning you out.
What else can I say?
