Y0ou forget Bir that there never was any intentio to hand back any land. Even under the Annan abortion the return was for 7 per cent of the island, ie about the size of the buffer zone. While opening the door for claims on the Dhekeli base.
And you overlooked that Erdoghan said "Turkey has strategic interests like Greece has". Who legitimised who in this little, supposedly angry, statement? He has given Greece more legitimisation in Cyprus than it ever had since July 1974.
Yes,dear Nikitas...as long as Turkey insists that Greece has strategic interests in Cyprus,and the world believe it,Turkey doesnt have to remove one single soldier...Do not make the mistake of underestimating the cunningness of Erdogan and his foreign minister...I keep warning you that unless you force Turkey's hand by agreeing to a fair and lasting settlement of the Cyprus problem you are strengthening Erdogan's hand on Cyprus...Time is not working in GC interest as most of you believe...Each passing year only makes the status quo more legitimate in world opinion...Combine that with Turkey's growing economic and political influence in the region and you have a potential fait accomplie...Time for complacency is long past...It is now time for realism,and a realistic solution for Cyprob.
What you call "realistic solution", is worst than what we have today. Do you really think we will accept some solution which will be bad for us, so you can finally have a recognized "Turkish State" in Cyprus, and so you and Turkey can get in EU? What you call "realistic solution" is not realistic at all because there is no chance in a billion we will ever accept such thing and therefore it will never become a reality.
We will help keep Turkey out of EU, and push her to become an Islamic Republic. At that point you will lose the support of the Americans and you can kiss goodbye not just Cyprus, but also half of what you today call "Turkey", which will become the independent Republic of Kurdistan.
You are simply walking into Turkey's arms with your eyes closed,ears shut and mouth wide open,with your brain in neutral...You keep this up and the whole of Cyprus will inevitable become a tiny state of the Federated Democratic Islamic Republic of Greater Turkey!!! Don't say I didnt warn you!
