Well these are excerpts from Mr Davutoglu's book, recently translated into Greek, title Strategic Depth.
"Cyprus is a stable base, an air craft carrier able to control the Persian Gulg, the Caspian Sea region and the sea lanes of Aden and Hormuz.... geopolitically and geostrategically Turkey must control Cyprus even if there were not a single Moslem on the island".
"Turkey must be ready to respond with the necessary toughness to anyone who threatens its strateigc objective".
And what are these strategic objectives? In the book Davutoglu describes the future Turkey as an islamic nation, which mobilizes the remnants of Ottomans in Balkan countries towards changes that "cannot exclude any possibility" and proposes a peaceful displacement of Greece in the Aegean.
First we had Taksim and Enosis of the north in Cyprus. Now we see Megali Idea being promoted by the Turkish FM who wants to reinstate Turkish influence in its former imperial colonies. Now, this is a guy that some consider enlightened. Saints preserve us from those that are not!
Don't forget he is Kissinger's pupil. What a ghastly man Davutoglu is....
To add to that, lets hope Cypriots who believe they are Turkish more than Cypriot will read this and realise why Turkey is in Cyprus. Did you think they came to save you?
You're sitting on an air craft carrier!
... and with Omer's plain logic, flat viewpoint; he wants Cyprus to be someone else's aircraft carrier... such as EU's; thus US's... did/do you think they came/come to save you?
Insan, big fish always its the little fish. The art of survival is to survive without being eaten. We have to find how we may be allowed to live. This idea that we can have what ever we want is just unrealistic and sooner some of our patriots realise it the better.
