How Turkey’s loss could be a gain for Cyprus





The acrimonious split between the reluctant bride that was Turkey, and the groom Israel, has been a pretty nasty affair, with Turkish prime minister Erdogan accusing Israel in Davos last year of killing people in Gaza and saying "I find it very sad that people applaud what you said (Shimon Peres). You killed people. And I think that it is very wrong."

The operation undertaken by the IDF on the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmaris which resulted in the deaths of at least 10 Turks, signalled the end of any "normal relations" between Ankara and Jerusalem, and has opened the door to a new era of relations between the Republic of Cyprus and Israel.

In London, talks have already begun amongst Greek-Cypriot supporters of Israel, and Israeli officials to lay the "groundwork" as one official has said, for Nicosia to move ahead and work closely with Jerusalem on military, economic, political and cultural co-operation.

One senior Greek-Cypriot politician in London said last night who is close to the talks with Israel said:

"It is time that Cyprus and Israel join together in an alliance to help each other in a region that is full of Islamic extremists and terrorist groups that want one thing, the destruction of the state of Israel and the establishment of Islam in the near and middle east".

In Cyprus this week media commentators have already started arguing for a closer alliance with Israel with Savvas Iacovides of the daily newspaper Simerini saying:

"The Republic of Cyprus is powerless. It does not have the luxury to choose friends and enemies. The enemies, they impose on you. The friends, are chosen, based on mutual interests, how near each one’s objectives are to the other’s, and mutual aims. Let us talk straight and cynically: Our enemy’s enemies, those of the Turkish invaders of Cyprus, are or can be our friends and allies."

Israel has already instructed that its citizens do not go to Turkey for holidays, Greece and Cyprus are eager for extra tourism given the economic problems both economies are facing, and will be seeing more Israelis this summer.

With Turkey now deepening its commercial ties with Arab countries with a new trade accord with Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, this surely underlines Turkey’s objective to turn to its historical and political past and work with the Islamic world.

By Turkey moving to the east, this does not mean Cyprus and Greece cannot have a good relationship with Turkey, but there must be a move to embrace Israel and signal that the Hellenes are the natural allies for Israel, and not with Turkey.

Changing what is actually written seems to be the only thing which makes you happy. It demonstrates quite neatly how the Turks seek to rewrite history. Thank you for the fine example.

Unfortunately, this article is so poorly written it's embarrassing. Any insightful, articulate and media-savvy Yiddisher friends who come across this amateurish piece will be rolling their eyes with frustration.

Really, reluctant bride? If they had actually got married and ended up in their marital bed Israel would have found that instead of a fanny this reluctant bride had a 12" cock. Admittedly cross dressing if indeed she was wearing the bride gown and all that, what?

I hear Qatar is rethinking about investing in the RoC. If the money goes to the occupied areas instead we may be in for a shock, since the moronic "we cannot afford to be choosy" has dominated the political arguments recently as though uttered by a deep thinker.

This might explain why you're so enamored with Turkey...

You should know that I have nothing to do with Turkey. Have never visited it except to land and take off again to visit my home.

How can you be so wrong for so long.

Given your preference for Ocakbasi restaurants I naturally assumed you had a taste for sucuk.
