The night that Cyprus was officially accepted in the EU, (think it was May 1 2004, local and international TV channels showed Turkish Cypriots in Nicosia rejoicing. Since then there have been continuing contacts with EU official in Cyprus and at Brussels. Therefore the overall picture we are getting is that the Turkish Cypriot community as a whole, and most of its political leaders approve and wlecome EU status. Are you saying that this impression is wrong and that the majority of Turkish Cypriots would rather not be in the EU? This is not a rhetorical question, I am genuinely interested to know.
Hypothetically speaking, if there was a two state solution tomorrow, then the Turkish state would opt not to join the EU? If not, then the media are promoting an inaccurate picture and makes you wonder why.
We were promised a lot from the EU Nikitas and rejoicing at the time of promises was right. They have come up with next to nothing on those promises and the lifting of embargoes is one point in which they have let us down.
The two state system is another thing all together and we would then be applying for our own.
you wouldn;t have to mate...knowing the EU's feelings towards Turks we signed up the whole island just in case.
We thank you from the bottom of our TRNC/KKTC hearts....
