The territory is RoC-EU ~~ but not the 'TC community'.
All the paraphernalia allowed to TCs is courtesy of RoC, for the present. They can be taken away.
You see, it is just as well the acquis is suspended in the occupied region, until settlement.
they have access to EU passports and id cards do they not?
She means, if you decide to totally give up on the North, then you will remove our citizenship, therefore our EU membership.
Please, refrain from insolence, fellow~forumer. [I have deleted offending comment]
On your (relevant) point: You only have EU citizenship if you hold RoC citizenship. You have told us you do not; preferring instead a document pertaining to be a "TRNC passport", and, occasionally, for purposes of travel, you become, temporarily, "Turkish". Besides, neither we nor the EU will 'give up' on the north of Cyprus and it is precisely because of this regaining of the occupied areas that the EU may have to decide on the fate of the 'TC community'.
Regaining?
I am sorry, when did you "own" it?
I must have slept through that part of the Cypriot history
You taking something form me which I do not have, means nothing, not that this would not be obvious to you, but I thought I'll just point it out anyway
As you know, many Cypriots who have fled back in the day (thanks to you), have become citizens of other
real nations and do not need your permission to become an EU member, in fact your view means nothing.
You might manage to make life harder for the few that has been left here and need your citizenship, but then thats all what you really can do, isn't it?
