"Things can be taken care of only with a compromise solution that will allow our three countries to prosper in the area in an environemnt of solidarity and friendship, within the United Europe. Real patriots strive for this purpose only as it is the only option we have for survival. Listen to the pavement patriots and you might as well sign the death sentence of Cyprus."
Not all who disagree with the proposition of "a solution at any cost" are pavement patriots. There are some intellectual, diplomatic and military heavyweights who see the prospect as more destructive than the present status quo. And none of them are thinking in terms of the return of Constantinople. They point to the fate of the TC community and how that is an indicator of Turkey's true intentions- in short that Turkey does not give a shit about Tcs or anyone else other than their peculiar and supposedly strategic goals.
There is a Turkish psychosis about being "hemmed in by Greek islands", having Turkey's "soft underbelly" threatened by Cyprus and a whole bunch of similar crap. The planners who formulate this nonsense apparently have not heard of cruise missiles that can be launched from 1500 miles away and come through a window and waste time on the 40 miles that separate them from Cyprus.
Do you Bananiot think that this long standing psychosis will dissolve simply by us wanting a solution of any kind without adequae guarantees that this crap is not going to come back at us in five or ten years time?
