If Turkey ends up going that way, then it'll be primarilly of your doing, RoCy..... Hope you reap the fruits of that little scenario...

runaway and play with your new best mates in the east. Is that a rocket in their pocket or are they just pleased to see your sweet TC ass?

Malakapa there's nothing you can do but to watch the Turkic KKTC flag from our mountains.

No more shitting on the mountain... I got you some nappies.

Malakapa, the funny south cypriot boy

Free Cyprus is and will continue to reap the fruits of EU membership, while Turkey will reap the fruits of economic union with places like Afghanistan.

Vibrant GDP Growth in the East.
Armenia opening doors = greater trade and one less lobby group to contend with.
Turkey not using East as threat, simply that you cannot sit in waiting for the EU when others are avidly interested in trade without the prejudices. Nothing more profitable than good relations and superior products.
EU's loss.

If others are avidly interested in "trade without the prejudices" then why does Turkey even bother with the racist, unfair, embargo-wielding EU? Just take your superior products eastwards. I'm sure, after a long, hard day of insurgency and guerrilla warfare, your average Taliban would be partial to a large lamb doner with extra chilli sauce.

There is less intellectual completion in the EU. Far greater chance for success too which is why the Europeans are a little shy in letting them in?

English hate the French, the Flemish hate the French (they live in the same country), the Catalan hate the Spanish, the Northern Italians hate the Southern Italians, Serbs and bosnians do business together, the Russians screw everyone etc. etc. etc.

You see my point, you don't have to leave doing business just because you "generally don't like someone" it's supply and demand, and the wider your markets the better the chances of improving your standard of living.

Unfortunately TCs have only had Turkey to trade with for decades. What is the reason for the North maintaining its Turkishness, is it all Turkey? or, can we put it down to one set of people that have forced that situation with the never ending embargoes? DOn't worry it's not a trick question, I think the answer's obvious.

dont forget the amount of money turkey will have to keep pumpimg and taking from the trnc to keep it from going bankrupt its more costly to them and no one in their right mind will recognise the trnc so it will be worse off for turkey they will stay and this situation will just stay as it is until a country grows a pair and forces turkey out of cyprus hcih will never happen

Yes, how stupid of me; that must be the reason for not wanting Turkey to enter - superior Turkish intellect.
