According to the article, Denktash likens the occupied parts of Cyprus with Hong Kong and says that uniting with Turkey will strengthen the status of northern Cyprus.
Levent does not cite the source for these statement, when and where they were made. Does anyone in the forum know?
Anyone who makes such a suggestion better be aware what they ask for, because they may just get it, and in the end, they will not like it. Hong Kong was in the hands of the British for about 150 years I believe, and after the Brits make Hong Kong of what it is today from nothing, they ended up giving it all back to it's motherland, which is China of course, just because the land always belonged to China, as the northern part of Cyprus belongs to the RoC. So if Turkey want's to spend time and money to build up the north, in the end, it may well all end up in the hands of the RoC in order for the RoC not to use her EU veto on Turkey's EU entrance when the time comes.. Next project for China to get more wealth from out of nothing, will be Taiwan. Let's hope Denktash does not also want to use Taiwan as an example too.!
