Cyprus protests Turkish military exercise

17/06/2009

NICOSIA, Cyprus -- The Cypriot government has asked the UN and EU to halt a military exercise in the northeastern, Turkish part of the island, government spokesman Stephanos Stephanou said Tuesday (June 16th). He said the exercise violates the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus, its air space and territorial waters. Stephanou suggested the drill may be a move to counter the Cypriot government's efforts to explore and exploit hydrocarbon reserves in its exclusive economic zone in the Mediterranean Sea. "If our efforts succeed, both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will benefit from them," said Stephanou. In May, Turkey protested against plans announced by the Cypriot government to hire a US company to start oil exploration in its exclusive economic zone. Ankara said the oil exploration violates the Turkish Cypriots' rights over the island's natural resources. (Philelefteros - 17/06/09, CNA, AP - 16/06/09)

Watch out Turks here comes the EU Cavalry

Why do the Turks have to behave like the most evil, selfish, troublesome creatures ever to walk this earth/fly these skies?

Are they trying to make everyone hate them?

(Of course, the TCs are just complete idiots ... )

Note that this bragadoccio is used only in cases where the Turks face a much weaker opponent. You do not see them violating Russian air space in the Black Sea. It takes serious sized cojones to do that kind of stuff.

a much weaker opponent.

Much weaker opponent would be an exaggerated description for south cyprus. I would call it a buzzing fly.

I would call it a pain inserted deeply (very deeply! )in your rear end!

So now you have some idea how the RoC feels about this TC community and “TC state” that claims to be their “equal”… a flea that can’t even jump!

Hey Runaway, make that a little fart that doesn’t even smell bad…
