I'll let the GCs speak for themselves, but as a TC and for my own information, just what was so special about this puppet Talat than the last puppet or the ones that may come after him that he deserves to be given a "settlement" based on violations of democracy, Human Rights, International Laws and the EU Principles. If the GCs wanted to give up those rights, they could just as easily have given them up to Denktash or even to Eroglu, if you guys decide to dump puppet Talat on his butt.! Puppets come and Puppets go.!
obviously you will never understand and whether you are a gc or not you are their mouth piece
Perhaps after Erouglu's term Kiks baby may begin to understand the real relationship between TRNC and Turkey.
But then again will pigs ever fly? Perhaps not.
Continuation of being a puppet, of course. What else did you expect to happen , YFred.? With an "economy" as the one that the north has, any leader in the north can only be a puppet to the puppeteer.!
