‘Colonial’ Erdogan traps Eroglu in a Catch-22

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

can we avoid the racism please? Aborigines don't make the same demands as Tcs have to rule themselves in land that belongs to other people.

I'm beginning to wonder if you've ever been to the north. Either that or you don't read the newspapers, watch TV or talk to anyone as you seem blissfully unaware that there is something going on...

Well get out of your house. Go and buy a newspaper, go to a bar and watch some TV, talk to some people and stop hanging around with all those Turkish troops in the local brothels.

You give the impression that nothing is going on when you are in the middle of some interesting developments. How can you be living in the north and think nothing has happened? Very weird.

You are trying to blow things all out of proportion because it suits your cause and makes you feel better, one thing that I can guarantee is that nothing will change in the TRNC, life goes on as normal and we remain divided.

I think we are seeing the end of the little "trnc" and the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.

There are clearly two options ......... Christofias to engage the TC community by inviting them to the Free Area in public meeting pledging support, encouraging return to their homes and pledging financial support to get theose homes fixed up. It has been my observation that TC villages have really been untouched, therefore rebuilding villages should be an expensive but yet easy task to undertake given there is no dispute who owns the properties.

Second option is for Turkey to normalise relations with Cyprus after allowing the first option to take place and then she is in the EU. Problem solved and we can then all get on with gas exploration. Share the wealth and live happily ever after. ;)

"Normal life" as you put it, is a country where the people support themselves, it is NOT a place where the inhabitants are entirely dependent on foreign aid for its 37 year existence. Your "normal life" cannot go on forever, something has got to give and it looks like Turkey has started the process.

VP doesn't believe that a breach has been exposed between the Turkish authorities and the T/Cs. He doesn't think it's unusual that the ROC flag was on display in the recent march. He doesn't think it's remarkable that Erdogan has publicly stated that Turkey has strategic interests in Cyprus. He thinks it's normal for Erdogan to chastise the T/Cs for displaying "ingratitude".

Of course what he means is that Turkey will put all these protesters back in their box and life can "return to normal". But we would then have a remarkable situation in which the Turkish authorities were contriving to quell T/C aspirations and to crush them into submission. This is what passes for "normal" in the abnormality that is the "TRNC".
