It is incredible that an EU state with not "basic" but “full EU principles” can make 14 troubled years disappear from the history books and the education system.

Cyprus president rejects Turkey right to intervene

2009-07-13

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Cyprus' president on Monday rejected any peace deal that would allow Turkey to keep the right to military intervention as a condition of reunifying the ethnically divided island.

The Turkish Cypriot minority has demanded security guarantees that would empower Turkey to intervene in case of a constitutional breakdown or if Turkish Cypriots come under threat of attack.

«As a people who have suffered so much, under no circumstances would we want this supervision by whichever country to continue through these guarantees,» said President Dimitris Christofias, a Greek Cypriot. It was his strongest and most clear-cut rejection of Turkish security guarantees since talks began.

That rejection could further complicate slow-moving peace talks that Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat restarted in September after a four-year stalemate.

It is well known , and has been so , that the RoC will never accept a solution that gives Turkey the right of intervention at her whim . No Cypriot will ever accept such an agreement , Turkey is fully aware of the strong opposition to her having guarantor status , talks however continue and it seems to me that Turkeys position on the guarantor status isn't rigid, why else would the talks continue .
We are a European nation and the guarantees ought to be sufficient emanating from the West rather than Turkey whose aspirations to join Europe would suffer greatly by her intransigent position concerning guarantees.
The future of Cyprus is bright , the future of Turkey outside Europe and with her troops on European soil looks rather dim , she knows it only too well .

So you are asking us to accept the EU in place of Turkey?

Our guarantor is the law of the land , it applies to all Cypriots and it is backed by the EU . Are you seriously suggesting that a nation whose overwhelming number of citizens see Turkey as an invader and an occupier should accept this nation as a guarantor ??
Please do me a favour do consider the concerns of the huge majority of Cypriots. It would be a tapestry of justice agreeing to Turkey gaining legal intervention rights in a democratic state member of the EU.
The T/Cs human rights would be protected by the laws of the land and overseen by the EC .
