You occupy TC's sits illegaly and do Offer......wow....wow....Kasoulides!

DISY’S MEP Ioannos Kasoulides has offered to give his European Parliament seat to a Turkish Cypriot if the two sides reach a Cyprus settlement.

“As soon as there is a settlement, I am ready to resign and offer my seat to a Turkish Cypriot to take it if we are in a period between elections. … Negotiations will continue. The Turkish Cypriots will choose during elections which way they want to go: for a settlement or the status quo,” Kasoulides said in an interview with mainland Turkish paper Zaman.

Kasoulides criticised both President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat for making little progress in the talks. He warned that the two leaders did not have much time to clinch a deal before presidential elections in the north in April when Talat could be ousted by hardliner Dervis Eroglu.

Kasoulides, who ran for the Cyprus presidency last year was a favourite candidate among the international community. He told Zaman he would have negotiated differently.

“I am critical of the method chosen by the two leaders, both of them. Turkish Cypriots pay particular attention to the issue of political equality. I am not judging them, just describing the situation,” he said. “Greek Cypriots are against guarantees because they are afraid that if there is another political crisis, history may repeat itself. Both sides have a point. Both need to feel secure and I don’t contest this. The security arrangement should be put together in such a way that both should feel secure.”

Asked if he foresaw any possibility of the ‘TRNC’ ever being recognised, Kasoulides said:

“It will never be recognised by the EU. A few countries around the world may recognise it but I don’t believe it will happen in our lifetime.”

On the so-called Turkish Cypriot isolation the MEP said: “The reward for saying “yes” should be peace. There were times when Turkish Cypriots said “no” and Greek Cypriots said “yes.” Why were they punished and in which areas? They are a lot better off than in the past because there is now freedom of movement under certain circumstances. The standard of living has gone up. There is a famous story of isolation. But isolation from what? Can someone whose standard of living has improved be termed isolated? Can someone who tripled his standard of living achieve this under conditions of isolation? On direct trade, they are doing it through Turkey?”

"Illegally"?

Do you even know what this word means?

What law is being violated here? Or are you talking about imaginary laws of your imaginary little criminal "state"?

[Oracle]

But first, this "imaginary" TC would have to learn Greek or English ...

No Turkish in the EU!

i read the zaman article the reporter asked kassoulides about this and stated why the t/c dont have their three seats in the EU Parliment?

WHen will people realise that political euqality does not mean numerical equality.it is not 50/50 even the 2 seats that i believe were to be allocated to the t/c is to many.it should be closer to one.
