Ooopppss ... sorry, I don't know why it double-posted.

Here’s the “demilitarization” program Cyprus REALLY needs…

7. Further enhance Cyprus’ military alliance with France and other friendly countries.

Regards, GR.

What about with non-EU countries like Russia?

.... or are they loose-cannons?

I did say "friendly countries" whoever they may be...

Turkey is a very friendly country. It would like to take whole of Cyprus into its bossom!

Is that a fact? So what are YOU doing to stop that O' Cypriot?

Yeh, right. My prayers did not work in 1974 either.

Any military action in Cyprus would lead to economic disaster. Cyprus does not have the resources or manpower to maintain a lengthy campaign nor does it have sufficient economic reserves to withstand a prolonged and deep recession. No tourists, no foreign residents and all the well-heeled Cypriots would clear off to the UK until things got better, Cyprus would return to the era of the donkey - perhaps its not such a bad idea after all!

mighty military strength here is not a bad idea if it serves a pupose which goes beyond national borders. There are enemies of us all which needs the battle hardy: they are hunger and disease to name two.

I am intrigued to hear, how mighty military strength can be used to fight the battles of hunger and disease.

A solution based on military action against Turkey is not only a joke but a dangerous joke as well.
The only powers that can make Turkey pack up and leave Cyprus are two. The USA and the T/Cs .
Don't even mention Russia , Britain or Greece , only the USA , Turkeys most powerful ally .
The USA will never declare war on a NATO nation .
The T/Cs , what is left of them , may just demand the withdrawal of the Turkish army if not wholly at least partly but only when a solution is in sight , or when " unification" by the back door is occurring. That will happen possibly some time in the next few years provided the "TRNC" remains un recognised , highly unlikely given the results of the recent elections.
