You see Zan, the Cyprus problem is not just about whether the Turks have carried out something illegitimate on the Cypriots. It's about justice being served on the wrongdoers . . . . bit like a murderer being put in prison, isn't just for the benefit of the victim's family, but for the whole community.
The whole GC community, yes! The murderer "RoC" is in power and not prison so justice has not ben served. The fact that the "RoC" stole the power in an underhanded but well planned way does not mean they are right. Injustices have been put right before and will again. Will you then accept the decision or protest against it. The UN and the EU are talking about lifting the isolation and embargoes...Why are you the only country that is refusing????Why not follow the right path of that justice rather than being the outcast of EU and UN thinking. I forgot...You guys are always right and the rest of the world wrong.........What a place to live in....It must be wonderful.
Zan it may come as a surprise but your opinion doesn't alter what is right and wrong. International Law recognises the Turks as the wrongdoers so you cannot argue with the Laws of the World . . . and ignorance is no excuse for breaking them.
If the EU and UN are talking about lifting them, they have not been lifted yet, then remember there will be hefty conditions, punishments and serving of justice . . . which is what everyone wants except Turkey.
It is not through ignorance they have been broken but by the knowledge of knowing what you are doing is wrong and illegal but it has not been shown to be yet. I think that the rest of the world realise this as well and that is why they are looking at other ways of doing the right thing. Your very clever lawyer of a president has had it sewn up in law but politics and integrity are something that he knows little about so he has been stuffed good and proper. You can fool some of the people some of the time , but.......................
