I Agree that the Cyprus Shipping Industry would gain by having access to Turkeys ports but you guys are the problem, not us... we've been knocking on your door for years, infact this is one of the chapters you have to complete in order even to start any talks regarding accession to EU. (still a big joke). Everything is in your hands, you are the loosers and not us... infact you have a lot to gain than to loose. Cyprus Mail is getting seriously ridiculous day by day... and infact i know one of the owners, perhaps i should ask him where they took these numbers from.
That was just an example. I would like an Economists view of the matter. Another example is how much is the Shipping industry losing by having no access to Turkish Ports. If GC think that they are blocking Turkish EU accession they are in a dream land. Turkey itself is not ready, and will not be so maybe for another 10 years, in the mean time GCs are congratulating themselves for blocking accession and costing Turkey money. There is an old proverb "dogruyu soyleyeni dokuz koyden kovmushlas - kicked out of 9 villages for speaking the truth."
here you go Yfred. One of the largest shipping fleets in the world. Since the EU membership this is even more important since it is no longer considered a flag of convenience yet still maintained its ranking in the worlds shiping industry.

Turkeys ports would be nice but its not that big a deal, its just making you guys look inconsistent with the EU since you've now proven that Turkey will sign and breach any agreement.
Very nice too, now where does it say how much money they lost, if none what is all the fuss about.
you're the only one kicking up a fuss right now.
OK then, I'll stop kicking up fuss, what shall I kick instead?
insan
You are a bad man DT. I have decided to kick Bafidis and Bumbolla instead. I can't possibly go around kicking Insan.
