So if South Cyprus, being closer to Africa, is geographically in Europe, so is Turkey.

Cyprus is a longtime strategic partner of the United States and continues to be so in the Global War on Terrorism.

Cyprus and the United States have a strong relationship going back, at least, to the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, when Cyprus provided the staging ground for the United States' evacuation and rescue efforts.

Throughout the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Cyprus has provided over-flight and landing rights to United States aircraft and port access for United States ships. Approximately 800 U.S. military flights have used Cyprus's airports, transporting troops and cargo to Iraq.

So guys here you have it , Milti WAS RIGHT all along.
As for the American haters how dare they insult """ a longtime strategic partner of the United States and continues to be so in the Global War on Terrorism."""

As I have posted on at least 1000000 times , Cyprus is part of the West , America IS our partner !!!!
Oh boy , has this made my day or what !!! :lol: :lol:

LONG LIVE OUR GREATEST PARTNER THE USA !


Milti, there is a big differance between fighting international terrorism and supporting Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and war crimes like you do.

Of course we did announce that we will open an Embassy in Havana and yesterday, we learned that we did a business deal with Iran. Will someone tell us, for the second time, "God help you and your people"?


And apparently, Cyprus is high on the agenda....

Simple:

Turkey is trying to portray itself as a major negotiator in this region of the World, but Cyprus is:

Cyprus, with its nearest coastal point only 60 miles (less than 100 kilometers) west of Syria, has traditionally been close to the Arab world.


.... and the cherry on the cake which makes Cyprus even more appealing, as the one and only necessary bridge:

But the Greek-majority island is geographically part of Europe and joined the European Union in 2004.


So Turkey is superfluous for everything![/quote]


I need more convincing that Turkey is 'superfluous to everything'.

Another of your often made erroneous generalisations. :lol:

So you are not even claiming that Cyprus is more important thatn Turkey? You are unique. :lol:

Don't be so humble. A big important country like Turkey shouldn't need tiny Cyprus to help it define itself of where its place in the world is. :lol:

What the hell are you talking about?

You were right about what? The fact that you support Israeli Ethnic cleansing and War Crimes and then you criticise Turkey for her invasion of Cyprus in the same breath. You are just a pathetic contradiction....

I would like to be humble regarding this. Sarkozy needs very basic if clauses to understand some geography:

If South Cyprus is in EU, it is in Europe.
If South Cyprus is in Europe, Turkey is Europe.

this one is to the Greeks:
If Turkey's Anatolia is called Minor Asia, how come South Cyprus is Europe and what the hell is it doing in EU? Consistency is a virtue.

To be a European country or not is not subject of your boarders or your location. Is subject of values people shared and respect in Europe and in this regard Turkey is some decades behind this target.

Turkey is not Europe,but ,of course,can be
