Did you see what Bagis said?

"Such a thing as privileged partnership does not exist," said Egemen Bagis, Turkey's minister for European affairs.
"So we do not take that option seriously because there is no legal foundation of it. At times I feel insulted for being offered something which does not exist."

Just as well his name is Bagis, it could have been Savash. Then what?

Interesting about the schools. Considering there are 'English' schools in Cyprus where the Greek Language is not a compulsory subject (though English is) and I haven't heard any GCs objecting to that. It surprised me when I first moved here. I know teenagers who have attended them for 10 yrs and can speak hardly a word of Greek.

There's a fundamental flaw in your argument, amusing as it is.

RoC citizens choose to go English school and the analogy would be Germans going to Turkish schools.

We all know that these Turkish schools will be for ethnic Turks, thus propogating the islamist model of separation and intollerance.

Big question: Why the little guys in Greece allow Turkish books in the Greek territory ? (Thrace)- reason ? they are just "little boys"????

Greece is obliged under the terms of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne to respect the minority rights of the muslim population of Θράκη. Turks are similarly obliged to respect the minority rights of the Christian populations of Constantinople, Imbros, and Tenedos....and haven't they done a good job living up to their end of the bargain?

who in thier right mind would want to be part of the eu whose leaders are a bunch of crocks ..in 13 years they have refused to have the books ordated and why. its run by the mafia.. the cost of living in the roc has doubled in 2 years. 2 years ago a lot of nc came over to spend thier money in the south .most now would not entertain a visit ...its far cheaper in the north.... good old germany we dont want to be part of the eu

[kurupetos]

The two leaders also disagreed about Cyprus, with the German chancellor calling for the issue of Turkey's refusal to recognize the government on the divided island to be resolved quickly.

Well I am glad he feels like that, because thats how we feel by being made the accept the 'TRNC' which doesn't exist.

Never has and never will. seems to me that where the turks are concerned, whats good for the goose is not good for the gander. Total hypocricy. FFS.

in that very same treaty turkey gave up all rights to cyprus

[BirKibrisli]

see cyprus does eu a favour by having this problem and not letting turkey in the eu.. i think it would be a huge mistake to allow turkey in

Cyprus is shooting herself in the foot,by buttering Erdogan's bread...
How many times do I have to tell you? Erdogan and his goverment do not want to join the EU. They cannot say so openly at this stage, but they are using Cyprus and the other European short-sighted bigots to make sure they are never accepted into what they believe is a Christian Club.
Erdogan is working slowly but surely towards the Islamic Republic Of Turkey,and that dream would die the moment Turkey enters the EU>>>
