The EU recent judgement has had a profound impact on Turkey , who must surely by now realize that the recognition dream is over , and that the way forward is to remove conditions that she knows well to be unacceptable to the overwhelming majority of the Cypriot people.
With foreign investment declining rapidly , development practically at a standstill , reliance on Turkeys handouts becoming more acute , there is not much than Turkey can now do to sustain and market the "trnc"
The latest furore over oil exploration is no more than clutching at straws , Turkey surely knows that she can not challenge or worst still intercept an American vessel , it would be political suicide and the Turkish politicians know this.
Cyprus has the real prospects now to become the true jewel of the Mediterranean , oil rich she will be , no doubt about that , with a strong financial backbone it would be an attractive alternative for T/Cs to turn to . Talat is aware of the dreaded scenario , for the "trnc" where a large number of T/Cs return to their "roots" , claim their properties and all benefits that the citizens of Cyprus enjoy , knowing very well that the settlers will completely take over an impoverished cash strapped northern Cyprus. It has now become an urgent course for Talat to follow. A solution is far better than the economic destruction of the northern part of Cyprus.
Wake up Milti....
You still don't get it do you. What you are asking us to do?? Lets just balance it out for you.
At the moment we have an identity...TURKISH CYPRIOTS!!! You are asking us to give up everything and just walk into the crowd and disappear into a nation that walks and talks like a Greek and not like a duck. You expect TCs who have invested in the TRNC to give it all up and surrender to their tormenters. You expect us to be blinded by oil and this fictional "citisenship" that will give us everything we ever wanted. YOu expect us to walk to the tune of the GReek national anthem and live i a country that has made no provisions for our existence apart from making up the numbers as an unflattering "minority" of Greek muslims. I could go on..........
You hold up a trinket and ask for our hearts and souls......I think it's cruel of any TC that has made you believe that we could ever do that.....That we will ever do that......I for one say keep the bloody oil....The TRNC would be better off without it.....My last holiday there was tranquil and more like the old CYprus that the "RoC" will never be again...WAKE UP MILTIADES!!!!!!
I think the usage of inverted commas denoting that a nation that is recognized the world over is indicative of who is dreaming don't you think so Zan. THE PRETENCE IS COMING TO AN END !
So the one that most definitely needs to wake up is you Zan. The RoC exists in every sense of the legal interpretation code. The "trnc" inhabited overwhelmingly by non Cypriots but settlers is the one that you so naively present as the REAL Cyprus .Poppycock.
I see you only answer the parts that suit you......I do not recognise the people that took my rights by force...That threatened a three year olds life and killed other three year olds to achieve it...I do not have to go along with the lunacy of recognising a hostile takeover of my island by Greeks.....Now that is done...Ask me again to give you my soul...Tell me again that it is worth it so that I can march to the Greek anthem and flag...Show me where in the "RoC"s repertoire have they made provisions for the TC people so that they will not just disappear even before they have disappeared physically. What history books are we in???What tourist information books are we in...I keep looking but have found nothing that says I exist at all never mind as a state....
Waited long enough for an honest answer Miltiades....Work is calling!!!! Spend the rest of the day talking with people who tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth....Be happy!!!
