Absolutely nothing in the face of GC intrangience.

Surely VP there's always an opportunity to wrong foot "us" with a minor concession at this critical stage? Thought Turks were a bit cleverer than this at bartering.

GCs do not want a solution they have what they want which is a gc state allnthey need to do is be seen to want a solution to keep gc refugees in line by thinking they will one day return.

Yes OK but that doesn't stop an incy wincy tiny little concession from Turkey at this stage does it? If only to win support amongst the International Community for its position in its often stated desire for a settlement

Opened the border

Correction, Cyprus has no borders other than where the land meets the sea.

What we have is a cease fire line between illegal occupying forces and the peace loving RoC.

period.

Correction, Cyprus has a border with the SBAs which are sovereign UK territory.

Turkey opened the border after the Tc were rioting in the streets......Cyprus could of refused to open the green line.....

There was no rioting in the streets (another GC myth exploded). I was here in TRNC when it opened and I didn't see any rioting.
Cyprus could not have refused to open the green line as the EU would have made them.

why didnt they?

The EU.
Once RoC joined the EU, "all" of Cyprus was considered to be in the EU (including the bit not under gov control, blah, blah).
EU citizens have the right of free movement within the EU and therefore the border had to be opened by RoC.
No choice about opening it, none about closing it.

Bill,

What would you suggest?

1. Handing over all the cheapskates to the RoC for presecution
2. Buggering off the Island and leave the country to the peace loving GCs
3. Staying away from us.

Just to name a few.
