Cyprus: Held Hostage by the Turkish Generals ...

Postby Oracle » Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:49 pm

Interesting angle to the Cyprus Problem ... :?

Cyprus as a trump card against EU ambitions
"Cyprus is still a bargaining chip for Turkey. And in particular the Turkish military has no intention of parting with this trump card. Not for the sake of Cyprus. The strategic advantage of the island is nowhere near as great as it was once supposed to be. The generals are intent on using Cyprus as a level with which to keep the government in Ankara in check. After all, the latter’s EU ambitions could sink into the Mediterranean if the army stubbornly refuses to withdraw its 40,000 troops from the island.”

I thought it was the other way round. Talk of the hunter becoming hunted. Good luck with your dealings with the turkallos.

Surprise, surprise. Your depraved "democratic" government is stalked by the legacy of your founding-father Ataturk and his fascist Generals, forever sworn to destroy Human Rights and popular demand.

Do they care about TCs? :lol: Only in as much as they stupidly fawn to them ....

Why oh why did we allow you so many special privileges :(

Denize dushen yilana sarilir - you should never have tried to throw us in the sea. What else was there to grab other than the serpent.

You were the over-privileged. You just couldn't get enough. Same with your homeland governments ... all TWO of them! :roll:

Thinking does not come natural to you, does it? Don't try too hard or your head may explode in protest.

Denial ....

A natural reaction when you find out even your parents didn't love you Yfred.

BTW ... Abandoned your "principle" of adorning the Turkish flag till your dishcloth was legalised? :lol:

You just don't get it. The flag protest was more painful for me than my GC friends.
Have you tried separating from your 14 year old child, my only hope in life is it happens to you too, perhaps then you will appreciate what my parent went through.
Your enemy till eternity. I shall open the gates of hell for you and then wave goodbye as I shut the gates. Your place is reserved next to Makarios, Grivas, Sampson, Yorgadjis and the rest of the GC bastards.
