Turkey has fought most of the main EU countries directly or indirectly in the past when it didn't even have any real means to protect herself, and still came out victorious, and you think the RoC might have a chance?
Each time Turkey got attacked was a time when they thought that was THE opportunity to attack as well....
Some people never learn
It is not a question of attacking just for the sake of causing violence and devestation. It is a case of defending our country from occupation. And our country finishes at Kyrenia and Apostolos Andreas.
As I said, I think there is no chance of a negotiated settlement. I hope I am proven wrong over this, and a fair compromise is reached and avoid any devestating war. And the ball is squarely in Turkey's court.
And yes, given the right conditions, the RoC does have a chance. Turkey's allies today could be her adversaries tomorrow. And the enemies of Cyprus today, could also be her strongest allies tomorrow. You know how it goes. Every nation will act based on it's own interests and the geopolitics of the region change over time.
Unfortunately you will not only be fighting Turkey but also the Cypriots who are living in the North, who want nothing to do with your corrupt racist Republic.
It wont only be a suicide mission for you but also the destruction of any minute hope people still have left in order to live together again.
You are forgetting the extent of the wars and the people Turkey has fought and won in the past, Cyprus is p-nut for Turkey.
Well, we never ever want to fight our TC compatriots or wish them any harm. I also beleive that many of them would probably join their other Cypriot compatriots in their struggle for freedom. I think it would mainly be the Turkish Army that is the RoCs adversary and not the TCs. And besides, give it a few more years and there will be no more TCs in occupied Cyprus as they too will be ethnically cleansed by stealth from Turkey. The majority of the population in the north is either military and Turkish Anatolian settlers already.
