I ask myself that too. Perhaps something to do with the 'boundaries' indicated on the map above. I note that the area immediately east of Famagusta district (legal btw) has not been included on the map. Is this a deliberate 'mapping' decision or a tacit acceptance of the northern regime. Perhaps they wish not to antagonise Turkey further? Flippin eck, I hate politics. I wonder what GRs response is?

Wait till the direction of the wind changes. These are only temporary alliances. The USA has no more need for Turkey so where has the alliance gone.? In a puff of smoke.

If Turkey and Greece play their cards right, together with Cyprus, they can be a force to reckon with.(economical and political) But they lack the vision.

Because the last time Cyprus made announcements it triggered negative Turkish reactions.
