Greece, a guarantor power of Cypriot sovereignty, keeps going on and on and on about wanting to help solve the Cyprus problem.
"It (Turkey) must contribute constructively to the resolution of the Cyprus issue... It must normalise its relations with the Republic of Cyprus and of course ... implement the Protocol on the Customs Union vis-a-vis the Republic of Cyprus ... We will judge Turkey based on the actions it has taken or not taken – rigorously and objectively. All the options are on the table and no one should take us for granted," is the latest statement from Greece's (Cypriot born) Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas. (Way-to-go Dimitraki, way-to-go!)
Well, we will judge Greece on the actions it will or will not take – rigorously and objectively.
O Greece, o cradle of western civilisation, how about we see all the options on the table?
Time to put your maternal hold on Cyprus to good use before it is consigned to the dustbin of history. Time to honour fully your commitments to Cyprus and stand up to fascism as you did in 1940. Time to give Turkey an ultimatum.
"If the Government of the Hellenic Republic has not received satisfactory assurances from Turkey, by 25 December 2009, of the withdrawal of its occupying forces from the north of Cyprus, a state of war should exist between Greece and Turkey."
