you say a lot of tcs were grateful for the intervention...after looking at the video below can you honestly see any gcs accepting turkey as a guarantor again?...you can't have it both ways...don't the turkish attrocities count as much as the gc/tc attrocities?
About the guarantor - No I do not, but the problem we have is that nothing that has been brought forward so far will convince the TC's that the future is bright if we leave it to the RoC (read GC's) or even the EU to look after us.
That's the problem you see - you say it'll be alright but we don't really believe you, hence the need for a viable agreement which will either restrict the guarantor status, or even diminish it over time.
Your atrocities question shouldn't need answering, but anyway.....of course the atrocities count, regardless of the numbers or who commited them.
