Where was Turkey at the UN. Afraid of hearing the truth. Turkey should be partition. They are nothing but cowards.

Turkey is at the UN as a member of the UN Security Council. Where were you?

What the big boys are doing to Turkey is no different to what they’re doing to others like Pakistan, former Iraq, current Libya, and many more.

The idea is to keep them constantly excited and feeling important with empty promises for the future so that they can keep getting their way on the victim’s territory knowing that by the time any of the hollow promises can come to pass 3 governments would’ve changed hands in both countries!

You play the hand you are given GR.........What happens in the future is not secure, by your own words.

Get Real people! The cold war is over. NATO was created to keep western Europe freed from communism. Turkey was the Soviet Union's neighbor. Otherwise, who would do business with Turkey. Now, Turkey is useless. The EU would prefer Russia over Turkey's from joining. What a slap on the face when the EU preferred Cyprus over Turkey. When Turkey is partition and Kurdistan is created you see the US will no longer give them military aid.

Not true, why would US sell Patriot missiles to Turkey if it was no longer needed? Why is Cyprus still unresolved?

Don't write when you are angry! Write when you are calm.

A question I would like to ask the Turkish Cypriot members on the forum is; If tomorrow Turkish Cypriots felt safe in their position and requested that the Turkish Government Representatives and the Turkish Army to leave the Island do you think they would go? It may be a hypothetical question but a relevant one

Less hypothetical more incomplete.......A SETTLEMENT is what will see the majority of Turkish soldiers leave and that is a mutli-tentacled creature of burden....

If the TRNC parliament asked for the removal of the Turkish Army, what grounds does Turkey have in remaining there? They may not leave immediately but will have to leave sooner rather than later. International pressure works but at a snail’s pace. They also risk turning the TCs against themselves. You must understand that this will not happen unless there is peace agreement signed.

If TCs feel safe, this means all differences with GCs were sorted out. In such a case; Turkish troops would withdraw... but this does not mean there wouldn't be any defence agreement or military cooperation between Cypriot national guard and TAF. Which country could provide a better protection to Cyprus than Turkey?(Assuming all differences with Turks were sorted out...)

are you serious? do you really believe they are there to protect Turkish Cypriots? And worse do you believe if we are allowed to reunify that Turkey would not want a base in Cyprus? Have you heard the speech of the Turkish Chief Staff who quite clearly says Turkey is in Cyprus for it's own interests?
