TC's can't even speak on behalf of themselves without Turkey's permission. What makes you think you can speak on behalf of the world?
Read what the world is saying, the lastest isthe EU bill for direct trade,
which is translated as fuck you GC you will never find a solution we need to move on and keep our promise to ease the isolation of the TCs.
Actually, it translate to "we will open up
"free trade" with the "trnc" under EU supervision if Verosa is given back to the GCs and Turkey opens her ports to the RoC", which by itself would mean Turkey recognising the RoC officially (officially no longer recognising the "trnc") before any further chapters can be opened on Turkey's EU talks. The ports in the north need to be under EU supervision for several reasons, one being to maintain control who and what comes and goes, but more importantly, the EU wants to make sure that Turkey does not close her ports to the RoC few weeks after "free trade" opens with the north in thinking, now that "free trade" is now operational that they can once again not recognise the "RoC. Don't think that the EU is just going to accept Turkey's word that she won't close her ports after the fact. With the north's ports under EU's supervision and if Turkey closes her ports again to the RoC, then the whole package deal would become non & void and that everything will be back to what they are today.
What I want to know is, just how will the north benefit from "free trade", since anything the north wants, the north can get through Turkey if not directly from some other countries.? If "free trade" is established under the terms described above, the RoC stands to gain far more than the "trnc", considering the fact that they do not have too much to offer to the EU then as they do now.
Can someone explain to me what is it that the "trnc" will gain by "direct trade" under EU's supervision.??
Nothing my friend. VP thinks direct flights will boost tourism. Why? Because she thinks the tourist package per person will go so much down that will make it super competitive. IT WILL NOT!! Maybe on a tourist package of 500 Euros per person now having chartered direct flights to Larnaca, the cost will go down by about 10 Euros (which is the bus fee from Larnaca to the occupied) .This saving practically means nothing.
The same thing will happen with direct trade. So far the TCs have not been able to export almost anything to Europe, in fact their MAJOR CLIENTS are the GC Spermarkets to whom they sell their agricultural products.And not only that, they do a lot of cheating also, do you think they could easily flood Europe with "TC cheries" like they did last year flooding the GC market with cherries they actually had imported from Turkey?
The whole thing actually aims at partial recognition. The regime in the occupied always used hypnotizing tactics on the TCs, trying to divert them from understanding their REAL PROBLEM. Their real problem is not the "hostile GCs", is not their isolation, IT IS THE INVASION AND OCCUPATION AND THE STEALING OF GC PROPERTIES!
The whole issue of direct freight and direct flights is for gaining partial recognition, for the illegal regime.
Now this reminds me of an old Turkish joke -which probably you already heard-..
"A Turk goes to the doctor, and says: Doc whenever I touch my head with my finger I feel pain. If I touch my belly I feel pain. If I touch my heart I feel pain. I touch my leg, my chest, I feel pain. What's the matter with me? (so what's the matter with "trnc"
)
After careful examination the doctor says: There is nothing wrong with your head, or belly, or leg, or heart. Simply your finger is broken.
