Tureky already has a customs agreement with the EU, meaning goods travle freely to and from Turkey to the EU. This leads to a close tying of the Turkish economy to the EU.

MR Babacan, the chief negotiator of Turkey's EU bid, is now foreign minister of Turkey, proof that the EU process is high on the agenda. One way or another Turkey cannot ignore the EU and refuse to become a full member or have a special relationship with the EU. Without close ties life cannot continue as before for Turkey.

Again you are missing the point I am not saying Turkey will not always have strong ties with the EU but you must understand that entering the EU is not an immediate priority for Turkey, a more developed Turkey in 20 years time may stand a chance but today Turkeys EU perspective is what is bringing in foreign investors not whether she gets in or not. Do you see or read a frenzy of activity for Turkey to open and pass new chapters, I have spoken to a few Turkish officials who share the same views with me that the EU perspective be it 10 20 30 years is now more important for Turkey than actually getting in, that's why the train towards EU accession has left the station but is in rush to get to its destination as it the train is seen to be on course and moving in the right direction that's all that is necessary in the near future. How does this bodes with the Cyprus issue I will let you decide.

How does that bode for Cyprus?

Lambousa- read the story! It is written up in the TRNC official tourist guides on Lapithos. Individuals count time in years, companies in decades, nations in generations and Cypriots in eternity! We have been around a long time, and survived things much worse than the Cyprob.

You are correct but we humans always want a better tomorrow and if we do not see a future together with GCs a better option for the future then what we have today then nothing will happen and the next generation will evaluate and decide which path to take. Luckily in Cyprus no is starving and we do not have civil unrest with bombs going off on every corner, we TCs can live happily as we are for many many years to come. What we are really discussing is whether the future is better united or as we are divided.

And you pretend to be a hero.......

You are petrified to stand up for yourself and fight like a man.Not unless there are 40,000 troops and 500 tanks to protect you. And you call me a coward????

You are afraid of letting go of your "mother's" skirt,and put up a struggle to maintain your dignity and identity....and you call me a coward???

You are proud of calling a pariah state run by crooks and drug dealers and gamblers and casino operators,built on stolen land,recognised by no one....and you call me a fool????

You have betrayed the land you were born in,your motherland,Cyprus,
and plotted to deliver half of it to a foreign power....and you are calling me a traitor????

You have sacrificed true freedom and liberty,and the chance to become an examplary multicultural nation,for temporary and imaginary safety...
and you call me a coward????

You have chosen bitterness and hatred over understanding and trust...and you call me a fool???????

You have not one ounce of empathy or compasion for your compatriots....and you are calling me a traitor?????

I can go on forever,but I think you've got my drift!

Huck touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

Good response Bir...

And you pretend to be a hero.......

No you fool, I am no hero but I know where I belong and who my people are. I am not a lost soul like you.

You are petrified to stand up for yourself and fight like a man.Not unless there are 40,000 troops and 500 tanks to protect you. And you call me a coward????

Is that why you don't want to come back because the GCs do not have 40,000 troops and 500 tanks to protect you?

At least I am prepared to fight unlike an armchair warrior like you.

You are afraid of letting go of your "mother's" skirt,and put up a struggle to maintain your dignity and identity....

My "mothers" skirt is a hell of a lot safer than the in blood cowered skirt that you choose you cling on to.

and you call me a coward???

Yes, the biggest.

and you call me a fool???????

Yes, the biggest.

You have not one ounce of empathy or compasion for your compatriots....

My compatriots are the TCs and I have a lot of passion and empathy for them, unlike you who hates anything Turkish.

and you are calling me a traitor?????

yes, the biggest.

I can go on forever,but I think you've got my drift!

Yes, you can go on for ever proving your cowardice, your hate for anything Turkish. Don't let me stop you.

Huck touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

You not only piss in the wind but like a fool also spit in the wind. No wonder you are so slimy.

[Get Real!]

No you fool, I am no hero but I know where I belong and who my people are.

That's right... Bir belongs in Cyprus and you belong in Turkey! Haven't we already established that?

[Pyrpolizer]

EOKAPapa has already admitted that he wants nothing but osmosis but you still don't want to believe it. Have you got a death wish or something? If you have go and die on your ownbut don't expect us to follow you like lemmings.

When? Where? Prove it!

Fight? Did you say fight? Wot, eight thousand miles away in safety of your home and the comfort of your arm chair? You armchair warrior you.

Is that compared to you who live 3,500 miles away??

[Pyrpolizer]

I don't care what names you use and don't believe a word of the lies you spread in this and other forums, as far as I am concerned you are not a Turkish Cypriot and are to be seen and treated like an enemy of our people and struggle.

Oh really? First who appointed you a judge? Second what are you going to do to him, excommunicate him, beat him, kill him, what?

You are wrong,GR...Eric Dayi has no idea where he belongs.He is the real lost soul..In Turkey they will laugh at his accent and call him "British bastard" on a good day and "gavur pichi (infidel bastard)" on the other days...He might not have to prove his Turkishness every day,but every second day they will ask him why it is that TCs do not like the mainland Turks...And why do TCs seem to be at least as infidels as the rest of the world...And they will remind him that the Turks came and saved his arse from the dreaded GCs and tell him his arse belongs to them
poor Eric Dayi...he is in for a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggg shhhhhhhooooooooochhhhhhhhhh...
