there has been talks of britain tiring in cyprus of being a gurantor and its own bases.We know were greece stands.Will Turkey finally wake up and figure out that the gurantor system from 1959 is outdated and its time to move forward.

Turkey evidently has problems adapting to the modern world.

Why would Turkey maintain such a huge military force in this day and age if it wasn't a defacto military dictatorship.

No they shouldn't because they're camouflaged with the rest of the Ottoman minded Turks that are in north Cyprus.

YFred, let me give you a realistic GCs opinion on this.

Even if the Turkish military presence on the island today was nil with its defacto partition, and if the Turkish military was reduced by 75% of its current capacity, with todays military technology the GCs would be foolish to start a conflict as they basically have too much to loose without a solution.

according to vp me ed we will go and kill them as soon as they withdraw the troops so they have to have 40k army troops here

The only reason the military maintains such a large force is to control the Turkish population.

Even EU member state recognise that the facade of secularism is a poor attempt at disguising a military dictatorship.

Even the British know that the guarantees are not worth the paper they are wriiten on especially in this day and age.

In the post cold war world, Turkey should be reducing its military surley?

Really, funny they spend most of their time in the camps practicing shooting at silhouette of GC soldiers and tanks.
Funny old game. I have not seen any control of the TCs via the army.

Given the scabby "police force" in the Occupied Areas are in the pay of, and under the control of the Turkish Army surprised you ain't seen any of them around.

You know the "police" who tear-gassed the teacher's demo a few weeks ago, but guess you didn't see that. Did you miss it??

Is that what they did when the TCs rebelled and 60000 marched. Eroglu is in charge now. I thought you guys were very pleased that he came to power, or did I read your posts wrong.
