The EU are discussing direct trade today!
Maybe thats why Eroglu was elected...if it was imminent that direct trade would go through, why would Turkey want Talat in power when he can have someone like Eroglu put his foot right in it....and walk away without having to give anything in return...
...a bit like how Tpapa rejected the AP and walked away with EU membership....
That will be a turn up for the books, Eroglu can deliver decision on Direct Trade in his first day of Office.
Well I wouldn't say it was of Eroglus doing...more Talats...
Like the way he set the RoC up when Ban Ki Moon visited, by taking Moon to his palace knowing full well the GC backlash would really work against the RoC.
That was a turning point because the RoC (for the first time) lost their cool and played right into his game. They only stopped short of telling Ban Ki Moon to FOFF!!
That was GENIUS on Talats behalf...
Shame the TCs didn't let him see the talks through, but can you blame them??
Most TCs I know thought these talks were a farce, and the talks were pretty much all Talat was good for. It would of been stupid of them to elect Talat...what for? So he can talk his way through the next 5 years?!?
Oh and claiming to have CRIED when the TRNC was formed did him no favours either. WHAT A LYING TOE RAG!!!!!!
