WTF??? I think someone's got things arse over tit while transcribing their shorthand...
But do you accept the rest?
On second reading I take issue with this bit as well, as it suggests the writer does not have an accurate handle on the Cyprus issue:
"Greeks and Turks each have nation-states beyond the island."
The guy is an idiot, no doubt.
But the Israel-Palestine analogy has been debated here many times.
The more people try to hold on to imaginary "nation states", the more they are likely to lose.
So stop hanging on to Turkey then, losers!
You are the one who affiliates Turkey with everything we say.
I want to live in Turkey as much as I want to live in Greece, but you are not giving us any choice!
