none Bir. Greece will probably send air support but no ground troops and the French will send a peace force about a week into the conflict.

Your current leader is doing the opposite and he has sucessfully alienated TCs even further, it will take a lot of work to get TCs to turn their boat around as it sails firmly in Turkeys direction.


we'll take care of our own leader VP don't worry. Its not our job to woo anyone. You on the other hand can start by taking down some uselss provocative gestures such as your cabaret by night show on pendadaktylos. Then you might make life a little easier towards some of the harder working GC's trying to turn this thing around.


Are we playing tit for tat again? then as soon as you take down the all that rubbish at ledra palace then we cna do the same. You miss the point totally it obvious to everyone your intentions are not sharing but domination of TCs.


its getting quite funny when you drop into your world domination phase. All of a sudden while we're talking you start hallucinating that i'm darth vader.


You have just killed any chance of a serious debate, your ancestors also made the same mistake and tried to ignore the TCs..keep up the good work, your are running true to form.


how can i have a serious debate with you anyway??????

Soon as i ask you to acknowledge a fault/mistake from your faultless side!!!! you immediately jump back into your armadillo phase...roll yourself in a ball and start screaming out to anyone that can hear you that I'm trying to dominate you! Get over yourself and discuss like a human being cause this "I'm a victim, i've only suffered, proove to me you don't have horns"attitude while you're sleeping in some GC's house doesn't hold water anymore matey.

I only expect France to provide Cyprus with support such as reinforcements and intelligence but no actual physical involvement. The rest, in the form of the EU, I expect to be exerting enormous pressure for constant ceasefires, stalling for time, etc, and finally I expect Greece to be the loudest yet nowhere to be seen! :)

I would imagine that the deal would have been done with UK/US before the commencement of hostilities

Wouldn't Greece be legally obliged to defend Cyprus following the Joint Defence Doctrine?
