Turkish PM threatens new EU gas pipeline ...

The warning by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes amid Europe's ....

Blatant blackmail by Turkey. Is this really the way to ingratiate yourself when asking for a favour

"The other side ought to be fair in his treatment," said Erdogan. "They should not prefer southern Cyprus, located far away from Europe and a only a few hundred thousand people, compared with Turkey with 70 million people."

Do I hear a Turk using the word "fair"?

Backstabbing tactics like complaining about something that can't be helped (distance), whilst all the while ignoring the wide chasm between their medieval mentality and the rest of Europe, won't fool anyone ... Besides the world is getting smaller (spatially) as far as ease of travel.

This article suggests Erdogan has given up the Sisyphean task of trying to improve his country; resorting to savage demands instead ...

Many Greeks, and several EU governments, want the internationally recognised Greek-controlled bit of the island brought into the Union, whatever the Turks and others may think. Otherwise, says the government in Athens, it will block the entry into the EU club of ten other countries, an incomparably more important event. If Greece has its way, Turkey, a valued but prickly NATO country, says it may annex Turkish Cyprus outright, imperilling the entire region.

Dear, when Hellenes blackmail EU it's ok but when Turks blackmail, it hurts? Sorry dear but ur mentality is too selfish. Allthough i hate this kind of diplomatic relations that is based on blackmailing but on this mad world that's how the world goes around...

May I have an example of when the RoC has blackmailed the EU, with threats of war and economic sabotage to match those of Turkey ....

You see, we hate blackmail too insan. But unlike your people, because we hate it, we don't do it!

What Blackmail?
Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public, a family member, or associates unless a demand made upon the victim is met. This information is usually of an embarrassing and/or socially damaging nature. As the information is substantially true, the act of revealing the information may not be criminal in its own right nor amount to a civil law defamation; the crime is making demands to withhold it
I see it as warning. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours my friend. Its very simple, if they don't like, take it through another route. What is their to get upset about. Turkey is their country, they can do a Ukraine on them.

It's more like 'I scratch your back, you stick a knife in mine' at times...

It looks more like negotiations than blackmail. I want something from you, in return for which I will give you something that you want. It ends with a settlement

It’s a process that GCs have never really understood.

Does Turkey understand that the RoC holds veto rights over Turkey's Energy Chapter?

Your turn!!!

[souroul]

its called politics

and they wont do it.

notice that every time something bad happens with accession talks, Turkey's stock market takes the hit for it, and the lira is getting closer and closer to cost more to print it than what its worth

[RAFAELLA]

Hm! ....turkish à la carte memory.

For Tr CyR does not exist therefore she does not recognize CyR.
BUT, now they try to prevent another veto from CyR, therefore, they recognize the right of CyR to use her red cart once again which equals to an indirect recognition.

Turkey will never change; the blackmail attitude is in turkish genes.
