With much at stake in the Cyprus talks, Christofias laid a large part of the blame for the stalemate on the Turkish leadership of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "We don't agree on anything with Mr Erdogan," he said.

When did he talk or negotiate with Erdogam? This man is really too funny. He assumes his dreams as true.

Turkey can kiss the EU good bye.

The US is really going to be pissed with that.... Let's see Turkey squirm out of this one in December and beyond!

Don't you worry your little mind, soon EU will be kissing Turkey's ass, let us hope that Eddy has wiped his arse after coming out of the toilet, just before the meeting.

The life expectancy of EU: 2 to 5 years... then everyone kiss goodbye EU... welcome begging a share from the rich natural resources of Asia.

What a joke!

TC's laugh that the talks would end expecting that they will gain recognition! It won't happen. If the talks fail, Turkish EU membership will be frozen indefinitely. Is Turkey willing to pay that price?

Don't you guys realise that no solution means that the Eastern Mediterranian will be an unstable region? How does that fit in with Turkey being an energy corridor for Europe?

Europe has many other options for energy. The Arctic region is opening up and its hidden resources will be exploited. Denmark and Canada lay claim to vast areas of the Artic as well as do the Russians. Large deposits of oil are being found in the Gulf of Mexico and along the South American coast. The UK also has untapped oil reserves around the Falkland Islands. Yes, Europe is going to be beating a path to unstable Asia for oil!

And you have Erdogan visiting pariah states such as Iran and 'telling off' the West for treating Iran unfairly. Erdogan had better stop bitting off the hand that feeds him. If Turkey turns east then things could potentially get very messy in that part of the world.

Oooooooh, I clean my ears once a year whether they need it or not and get them checked once every hundred years even if they don't need it.

Since every attempt fails what remains to talk about? An agreed partition. When we agreed on partition we should be happy with it and work together for the stability of our region. However in age of globalization it won't be easy to provide stability in our region. Demilitarization of Cyprus is an utopian dream, a lie... Cyprus is one of two bridges towards middle east and cacauses. U expect NATO-EU alliance won't use any or both of these bridges by any means including military purposes?

Turkey should look both towards East and west and exert to establish good relations with both. If Iran feels safe herself would never use it's nuclear capacity to destroy anyone. Howmuch West feeds Turkey as much East feed Turkey too. On the other hand, why should Turkey waste her energy with meally-mouthed western political groups that have huge Turco-Phobia, Islamo-Phobia and dreams based on exploitaion of rich natural resources of Asia? Turkey, as one of the strongest countries of the region can easily lead many of the regions countries into an Asian Union. They can work for stability, prosperity and development of their region. Who needs Turco-Phobic, Islamo-Phobic, meally-mouthed, poor and greedy EU in age of globalisation.

You will be dragged into the 21st century whether you like it or not dear billy boy, with or without your fustanella.


Talking of tickets to Turkey, can any of our TC Londoners advise whether and how much tax we pay when we visit Turkiya from Londonistan with a dodgy UK passport.

The last time I visited Turkey using a - legit - UK passport in 2003 I had to pay 10 pounds for an entry visa. You go to the visa window first, pay ten pounds in cash and they stick the visa in your passport. You can then go through immigration where they place a stamp on the visa.

Don't forget to take a Gıbrısca-Turkish phrase book or dictionary with you.
