They should’ve never invited Turkey here in the first place…

Perhaps now you realise how stupid you have been by inviting them to Cyprus in the first place.

When did Cypriots invite you to come to Cyprus? You came uninvited and you started to kill and oppress us.

We are indigenous to Cyprus just as much as you are about time you understood that because you look like the stupid person you really are.

I think you mean you are an indigestion to Cyprus ...

A couple of days ago, Nauru was paid $70,000,000.00 by Russia to recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Perhaps if all else fails, Turkey could do likewise so Nauru could recognize TRNC. International recognition is becoming a saleable commodity...

If that was the case, Cyprus would buy back "Turkey" for the Hellenic Empire.

Turkey is bankrupt. The majority of their population cannot afford toilet paper.

Why do they need to buy toilet paper for, when they have all that ancient greek paper they can use. When it runs out, perhaps they will consider the latter.

21 December 2009, At long last there is a foreign minister on the international scene with ice-cold blood in his veins and an uncomplicated, unemotional comprehension of national interest. His name is Kieren Keke. He carries the flag for Nauru, an eight-square-mile island-nation of 11,000 inhabitants in the South Pacific famous on two counts.

It is the smallest republic in the world, and its principal source of revenue was through the export of phosphates formed by bird droppings. That was undoubtedly the most valuable bird waste in history, but the republic killed the local version of the golden egg by selling more phosphate than the birds 
could drop.

When the money ran out, Nauru’s imagination blossomed. It invested millions of dollars from its national saving in a London musical. The musical flopped, wrecking the country’s bank balance. It then tried to solve Australia’s troublesome problem by providing a base for immigrants en route to the Pacific El Dorado, in return for suitable compensation. Regrettably, the refugees wanted refuge in Australia rather than amidst lost bird droppings.

But Nauru’s imagination remained fertile. In 2002 Nauru took $130 million from China to break relations with Taiwan. In 2006, presumably after this sweetener was exhausted, it reopened links with Taiwan. It is not known whether there was a financial angle to this decision, but the track record tells its own story. This year Nauru recognised Abkhazia [population: 215,000], one of two “nations” that Russia “liberated” from Georgia in 2008. The price: $50 million. Mr Keke has also paid a visit to the second region, South Ossetia, possibly with an accountant as travelling companion. The message has gone to every chancery: if the price is right, Nauru, a full member of the United Nations, will oblige.

Turkey would probably pay Nauru for them to recognize TRNC should the negotiations fail. Given Nauru's small size, there is no 'hold' that other nations would have in order to stop it from doing so.

If $70 million is an accurate figure, then it's $5,000 per Nauruan. Of course the opportunity costs of recognising the puppet regime are greater, because a nation risks the ire of the EU. Let's stick with $5,000 per head of population of the recognising state.

Given that the occupier's GDP per capital is about $10,000, in order for them match the Russian's grand feat of diplomacy (recognition by Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Nauru), they would need to buy off roughly 33 million citizens, which translates to 16 million anatolian mongolistani peasants toiling in their mud patches for an entire year in order to pay for it.

Then of course they would also be stuck with having to explain to their diplomatic peers why it is the case that they have to pay others to recognise something which is apparently so self-evident.

Why stop at Nauru? If its all about realpolitik why not just bribe the UN to revise previous security council resolutions? Why not just bribe the US and the EU to gift all of Cyprus to the occupier? When will you go back to your tragic fiction writing?
