So, can you blame us if we have gotten fed up trying to think up more phrases for why it will 'never see the light of day', 'will get the boot', 'have door slammed in face', 'kiss EU-butt', etc etc etc!
No way near as long as you have been waiting to get the north of the island back. You dont see me teasing you about that do you? I mean you have been going on about liberation and return of refugees and all sorts of patriotic nonsense that your government has fed you for 35 years now, do we make fun of that? Turkey will never join the EU and it will also never give up north cyprus. That it will not join the EU has NOTHING to do with the ROC having a veto. Absolutely nothing. And that it will not join the EU is possibly one of the worst things that could befall on the ROC in regards to any possible deal it may actually feel at east with. Your hatred for turkey clouds your judgement. There was a time before the turkish army was here when that might actually affect us TC's, now we couldnt give a rats ass what a GC thinks.
I too believe Turkey will never join the EU for reasons other than a Cypriot veto. The things asked of Turkey are too alien to her ways and manners, hence unachievable except by some miracle. But if you are upset by my "teasing" you, regarding this, then it should not bother you unless you still retain some hope of acceptance.
That is for you to sort out; and I will not stop hating Turkey for as long us it violates the Rights of the people of my country.
It may have taken 35 years and we have still not liberated our country, but again that is a reflection on the
size of the evil that is Turkey, and nothing more. The EU is our numbers equaliser now, and as such, that has only come of late ...
The reason why the knowledge of the unattainability of the EU by Turkey bothers you so, and the Turks even more ... is because you recognise that fact, and slowly see the grip on Cyprus receding, and your hopes for future fortunes disappear, day by day!
In the end, Cyprus will be free, and Turkey would have done "well" if it has managed to hold on to any of the other states she has invaded ....
