Hi Tim,

Did this anonymous prominent member of the Nationalist Greek Cypriot camp convey this thought to you directly, or did you hear of this from some other source? If the latter is true, are you at liberty to divulge your source?

It was Directly. He also mentioned a few other scenarios, but I'll wait until after the first stages materialise before posting more; it apparently all works hand-in-hand.

Sorry, travelling to Paris from Kings Cross so my Blackberry Device will soon Blink-Off. I'll read your comments and reply later or tomorrow. Sorry to cut it short.

Cut it as short as you like until such time as you are prepared to substantiate your story. This is cloud cuckoo land stuff until you do.

Are you saying that there is no fear of the Turks flooding into Cyprus if allowed into the EU??

I am going to guess your answer until corrected....Yes! Then they have to protect against it.....

I fail to see the relevance of the above question to the current debate, but since you ask, probably not. You see, when new countries accede to the EU there are transitional periods during which certain aspects of EU legislation may be suspended. Similarly, existing member states are entitled to impose various restrictions in their raltions with that new member state for a given period. An example of this would be the free movement of Bulgarian and Romanian citizens within the EU. You will find that most EU member states have suspended the automatic right of Bulgarian and Romanian citizens to seek employment in their countries for a number of years. If the scenario you mention above were a worry for Cyprus, then she could impose this kind of embargo for 5-10 years. On the other hand, there is actually a labour shortage in the RoC and immigrant workers are recruited from places as diverse as Syria, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Cyprus may well thus welcome an additional source of labour.

Personally I do not expect Turkey to accede to the EU for another 30-50 years anyhow, so I find this discussion to be rather hypothetical.

I know that mate but the GCs have always planned well ahead..So what if it is in 15 years time....An invasion waiting to happen is not something they would like...

As for Turkey getting into the EU....With the current depression and future growth restricted..... because present practices will be outlawed....80,000,000 people + will be the only way to expand a company in the EU......That is what I think anyway...

Let us assume that Turkish citizens have suddenly acquired the right to live and work in any EU member state they wish, I wonder how many of those who avail themselves of this right would chose to come to Cyprus? I mean, with the delights of Green Lanes beckoning, does Cyprus have much to offer them?

LOL! Keep dreaming. To divide a country, is the worst shame one could ever do to their country.
The ''trnc'' ... sorry ''KAKA.tc'' will NEVER be recognised. Long live the Republic of Cyprus. My country is ONE, my country is WHOLE! It will never be recognised. ''KAKA.tc'' is an ILLEGAL land recognised by NOBODY and never will be. Hayal etmeye devam et
