Why Did The Greek F.M. Panic?

VATAN - The Turkish press has been too preoccupied to cover this story, but Greece is seeing a panic over Cyprus. Yes, you read that right. Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis called her American counterpart Hillary Clinton, saying that Greece will never accept a two-state solution on Cyprus and that if US President Barack Obama signals this could happen, it would veto Turkey's European Union membership process.

This caused a great panic! After Obama's visit to Turkey next week became definite, I wrote that if there is to be a new cooperation in the changing world order, particularly in the Middle East, there needs to be a new opening on Cyprus. I wasn't the only one to think of this. Certain figures in the US also started to mull this idea, and when Greece caught wind of this it panicked. After I saw Bakoyannis' panic, I would like to stress that the current policy isn't in favor of Turkey and reiterate my thesis.

To those who claim that assimilating the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) under the 'Republic of Cyprus' and putting it under Greek Cypriot control would benefit the Turkish Republic, I would like to ask them this: What are the implications of this idea? Please explain the logic of our leaving the island!

Result 1: Turkey is excluded from a strategic region which is the life-blood of the territory we live in.

Result 2: In our country, certain pro-EU journalists and academics also rationalize this exclusion and try to sell it to the Turkish nation. This is a big con. According to EU Parliament decisions, the Turkish soldiers there are invaders. I would like to ask you: What is the British military installation there?

Result 3: If the Turkish Republic forsakes this strategic point on the Mediterranean and it's put under the control of Greek Cypriots, there will be a new line on the Aegean Sea. This would mean an EU-supported Greek Cypriot-Greek domination, and our leaving the Aegean and Mediterranean and giving up our assertion of being a world power.

Never in our struggle over the last millennium have we been pushed down this much. The current path is utterly unacceptable. In short, this new opening with the US should be questioned. We're moving towards a process where Turks will have to get visas to visit Cyprus and lose all of our rights. Now is the time to take action.

Neither the panic, nor the flutterings of Greece can stop the on going progress of globalization. Arts and wiles of the politics r on the way coming. Watch the fluttering and fussing over each other.

As for the existence of Turkish troops in North. It has nothing to do with British bases in Cyprus. Had TCs have as much troops as GC have and been a recognized entity; there would have been as much troops as Greece has in South. Under current circumstances there's nothing wrong with the Turkish troops stationed in North.

Listen Insan, just as our RoC friends have found a new RoCK to hide behind, don't go around ruining their imaginary shield that they built around them.
