He went to Brussels pretending to be a “president” of a (non-EU member) separate “state” in Cyprus, the “TRNC,” one that was (illegally) “established” on the soil of another (EU member) state, which he does not recognize –set aside its EU membership- and said to Barroso, the president of the EU Commission that: (a.) the TCs must have “equal treatment” and separate participation in the EU parliament by taking 2 out of the 6 seats allocated to the RoC, and (b.) that the Turkish Cypriots “do not want the mediation of the EU which had lost neutrality due to the memberships of the Greek Cypriot administration and Greece…”
Such a defective logic and such a ridiculous way of behaving, I have never seen in my life!
Either the man does not recognize the existence of the EU and /or Cyprus’s membership to it, due to the fact that he does not recognize the existence of the RoC (he only recognizes a “GC administration” in the south,) in which case the question is: on what platform and for what reason has he visited Brussels and met with Barroso in the first place; or he does indeed recognize both the EU and the RoC, as well as its (RoC) membership in it (EU,) in which case the question becomes: on what platform has he asked Barroso to grand to a separate (non EU member) “state,” the “TRNC,” two (2) out of the six (6) seats in the EU parliament that were allocated to another (EU member) state, the RoC.
Honestly, it is unbelievably absurd!

You are the one out of touch why shouldnt he ask to be treated equally with GCs? taking the 2 seats is a way of allowing us a voice and not just GC, continue with the current set up means they only hear one side of the story, that makes them biased.
VP, on what basis, what grounds, do you want two seats in the EU parliament?
