There cannot be any guarantees from Turkey in Cyprus. They had that privilege back in 1960 and abused it beyond any imagination soon after, along with Greece and Britain, therefore, they only have themselves to blame for not being wanted as a guarantors any longer. At least Greece and Britain now have the good sense not to make such ludicrous demands. I guess they have accepted their failures as guarantors and are willing to let their guarantor memberships expire. Had they ALL used their privileged guarantorships to what they all signed up to do, which they had not, and not only they did not do what they were suppose to do, but instead one had became an occupying power, I'm almost certain there would be no questions asked today as far as them ALL being invited to be guarantors again, had they all did their duties to the benefit of Cyprus and for ALL Cypriots. As the saying goes, "Fuck me once, shame on you.! Fuck me twice, shame on me".! For those who insists that there cannot be a settlement unless Turkey is a guarantor power, they are not looking after the interest of Cyprus and ALL Cypriots, but the interest of ONLY Turkey's and also to keep their Taksim dreams alive by the Fascist NeoPartitionist, only this time Taksim will come in the form as a recognised EU member and not the "Pirates of the Mediterranean" is what we have today in the north.
There are far better and more effective ways to secure everyone security in Cyprus, starting with a constitution that respects Democracy, Human Rights, International Laws and EU Principles than invite the same past "Three Stooges". Had they been the "Three Musketeers", (all for one and one for all), we would not be having this conversation now. If we were to reward bad behaviour in anything, there's no reason why the bad behaviour will not continue again in the future. It's like giving permission for them to become abusive again. Those who say we need Turkey's guarantees are only saying, "we want Turkey's guarantees to achieve Taksim as a recognised EU member". Turkey cannot become a guarantor on one part of the island without violating not only the sovereignty of Cyprus as a whole, but the sovereignty of the 27 EU member nation, which I'm most certain that the EU will not want Turkey to become their guarantor power of any part of her own territory, thank you very much.!
