A citizen of the "Greek Administration of Cyprus" said to arrogant Turkish Ambassador, Orhan Eralp:
"Your country has applied to accede the EU, a club of nations which has made as one of its equal and veto holding members, a country that according to you does not exist. Your country's accession to the European Union is not an "arithmetic calculation of addition!" It is an "algebraic equation," and the ‘x’ factor of this equation is the Republic of Cyprus, which is the one that according to your little theorem does not exist. And since it does not exist, the result of this equation will always remain unsolved. And since the result will remain unsolved, so does your country’s EU accession will be -even if the rest of the EU member states and the whole world do want you to become a member, until you discover this "x" factor which is the RoC." (Lots and lots of laughs in the room...)
