So far 2008 has not started too well for Turkey. She was told "No way Jose" to her EU membership by Germany and France. Turkey's stock market is already down 25% this year. I know most International markets are down, but no where near to 25%. Lets see what will happen if Turkey turns down "Privileged Membership" that's been offered by the EU members to Turkey, providing of course, that the RoC goes along with that idea and does not use her VETO power. What will happen to Turkey's stock market then. To add more pressure on Turkeys economy, will be the prospect of the Democrats taking the White House in November of this year. Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama makes no difference, the Armenian Genocide and the Occupation of Cyprus, along with issues with the Kurds, will all be brought to center stage. I have a feeling Turkey will have her hands full, to be any use to fighting for anything that will be any benefit to the "TRNC". Turkey will only be able to fight her own battles.....maybe.!!
