How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Meanwhile, business as usual for the RoC.

In trying to hinder the Greek Cypriots, Turkey is acquiring many enemies. The Greek Cypriots are now, visibly, part of a larger entity and their *little* problems have become the problems of bigger fish.

Problems emanating from restrictions Turkey imposes on Cypriot flagged ships are one reason that calls for a political settlement in Cyprus, the German Ambassador Gottfried Zeitz stated here today.

Speaking after the breakfast, the Ambassador confirmed that the issue was brought up during the breakfast by representatives of the shipping industry, indicating though that “it is clear that it is a political matter” and that he couldn’t make any comment apart from saying that “just another example of the benefits that a final solution would bring about”.

“And this is one reason more to strive with all determination and all resources towards the final settlement” he said, indicating that “no solution is no solution and the current status quo cannot be the final state”.

The German Ambassador said today’s meeting between Cypriot and German businessmen adds value to the already excellent economic and trade relations between the two countries.

“Just to state that we are number one in importing Cypriot goods, so the trade relationship is very good and very prosperous” he noted, adding that the German Embassy in Nicosia is very happy to join forces and work together with CIPA and the German – Cypriot Business Association to improve the already excellent relationship in trade and the economy.

Pilides explained that those issues relate to delays in the registration of companies, in documents concerning company changes and also problems faced by vessels under the Cypriot flag as a result of Turkey’s prohibition on such ships to approach Turkish ports.

On the market share of German companies in Cyprus, Pilides said that in 2008 German investment in Cyprus reached 153 million euro, ranking fourth among the countries with foreign investment in Cyprus.

It be a matter of great irony that the Turkish workers, now attracting much unwanted attention by their encumbrance to the German people, should have their futures decided by Greek Cypriots working in unison with German big business.

That would be pretty hard as they have gone past 3rd generation and a lot of them are citizens by now.

Come to think of it, there are probably more Turkish citizens there then there are Cypriots in Cyprus (or Europe).

3.5 Million Turks live in Germany today. Good luck :lol:

Thats just Germany too, you are actually a much smaller minority in the EU compared to the Turks, and Turkey is not even a member. :lol:

Actually, Shah, to my surprise and shock, only about 500,000 Turks are German Citizens (EU citizens) of the 3.0-3.5 million Turks living in Germany.!

Actually not that shocking Kikapu, I was told by a few Turks who live there when I went a few months ago that they have to give up Turkish citizenship in order to become German.

That was shocking to me.

Well, that would make sense in that case, Shah. It is every country's provocative to not to have a Duel Citizenship for their country and citizens if they are a native born. Same is the case in the USA, where American born citizens with their roots in the USA are not permitted to accept another citizenship or they will face being stripped off their American Citizenship. The fact that I have 3 citizenships, one of them being American is another matter, and since I am not a native born American with my roots in the USA, is the reason why I'm able to keep all 3 citizenships, with perhaps 4th being on the way soon.!

Germany did/does however allow their citizens born in certain politically troubled countries to maintain two passports without too much problems, just like during the apartheid South Africa. German citizens with South African passports were not welcomed in many parts of the world, therefore Germany would issue them German Passports to overcome those problems.!

It must only be a trait of countries that seem to always confuse "freedom" with "fascism".

So you are a Swiss, American and Cypriot? Or was it Ozzy?
