You have a knack of making things up as you along then you turn around and believe what you have written, the bottom line is that all we have to do is wait and see who was right, Turkey will not enter the EU and division will remain, the past 34 years proves me right, you have nothing to back you up as the only opportunity you had to build a united Cyprus it didnt work.
You need to tell us what it is that I make up as I go along........we all want to know.!!
Only the last 4 years of 34 years where a settlement was sought. The first 30 years, Denktash and Turkey were not interested, because 37% of Cyprus was in their hands, and if they waited long enough, then recognition would come. What came instead, was the acceptance of Cyprus into the EU in 2004 which got things moving on the ground, starting with the opening of the crossings as a goodwill gesture to try and get the AP passed. Even Denktash was sidelined for that reason, because he was so hated. Once the AP was a NO, then panic started to set in with Turkey's EU bid, and now, for the first time in 34 years, we have a chance to put past mistakes aside and look for a settlement that's good for majority of Cypriots and also for Turkey's EU aspirations. So do not mislead people with your 34 years proof that peace can't be achieved, because peace was not sought in the first 30 years. You can thank Denktash for that, since his belief was, that Cyprus problem has been solved in 1974.
Maybe Ex President Denktaş will be proven right, everyone believed he was the obstacle towards find a solution hes been gone for 5 years now and where are we? further from a solution than we have ever been, so you have proved him right 1974 and the current divide is the best solution we will ever achieve.
