Brilliant. Now do you want to explain how Turkey gets into the EU while occupying Cyprus?
That is not my problem...I am simply stating my opinion...If Turkey is not admitted to the EU,Cyprus problem will NEVER be solved...If you people want a solution then you will have to think of how to make it easy for Turkey to be admitted...You will need to be very creative,ingenious ,and brave...
But it is very easy for Turkey to unblock its EU accession process. All it has to do is solve the Cyprus issue by withdrawing its troops and settlers and allowing refugees to return to their homes. How much simpler do we have to make it for you?
You are asking for the impossible,Hermes...Turkey will never leave Cyprus until there is a comprehensive and final solution...Cyprus is a matter of national honour for the Turks...And if you knew them as I know them,you'd understand why...But you don't,so you think it is simple for them to just walk away...The way to get Turkey to do anything is not by threatening them,or trying to blackmail them...That makes them only more determined to stay...It is not in their national psych to be seen to give in to such demands...You have to make them feel they are giving you something out of their own generocity and kind heartedness.That is why I said your approach has to be intelligent,ingenious and brave...
