Palio this is so wrong. How can an EU country do to the Turks what Turkey does to the Kurds. It is then used against them to block their accession and yet Greece is in the EU. This shows the double standards being used by the EU against Turkey. The worst of all, justify it because it was internationally agreed. It can't get any better than that. Shows what International law is about and how it is used and abused to serve the interests of those who can back it up with military power.
Don't bother talking about double standards to these blind people. Whatever Greece and south cyprus do to Turks, TCs, Albanians, Kosovars, Bosniaks,Macedonians and others is reasonable and when Turkiye does the same it is not acceptable.
It's only natural to hold turkey to a higher standard because of the greater degree of barbarism inherent in the country and its institutions. Get back to us when a buch of "village guards" in a European village turn up to a wedding and shoot dead 40 or so unarmed women and children, or when a large EU member invades a small one (French in invasion of Luxembourg, anyone?) Civilised Europe rightly considers you people to be bloodthirsty savages, and every action is consequently scrutinised carefully.
