This is the quote in Turkish.
"Enosisi yeniden gündeme getirelim
Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi Başpiskoposu II. Hrisostomos da ayin sonrasında yaptığı konuşmada, “55 - 59 mücadelesini, Kıbrıs’ın Yunanistan’la birleştirilmesi hedefini yeniden gündeme getirelim” dedi, “Halkımızın 1955’ten beri arzu ettiği ancak maalesef Zürih-Londra anlaşmaları ile başaramadığını başarmak için tek yumruk olalım. Bugün birlik içerisinde çok daha iyi şartlara sahibiz ve bunu başarabiliriz” ifadelerini kullandı".
Was this an April Fool fingy or was it a serious comment by a cleric?
Deniz, the RoC has achieved a much better and more important “enosis,” which is that of “enosis” with the European Union as an equal sovereign member representing the entire territory of Cyprus. In this capacity, Cyprus, in the hands of the Greek Cypriots, has the capacity to veto Turkey’s EU accession process and give her the boot out of her European aspirations.
Now, Greece is also a member of the EU, and therefore Cyprus has achieved an indirect “enosis” with Greece as well. Greece has also a veto right against Turkey’s accession, but for her own reasons wants to allow Turkey’s EU accession to run smoothly. Therefore, for what reason on this planet would Cyprus want to cancel and lose its EU membership, as a separate and sovereign nation, and go and make “enosis” with Greece as one of its provinces, if Greece does not want or intent to give the boot to Turkey and veto its EU accession? Are we so stupid to loose such a privilege, together with all the other privileges we have as an EU member state, and go and become a province of Greece without any of the powers we currently enjoy? ENOSIS!!!
Unless your waiting for Annan Plan revision 6 to come around.
