I predict that Turkey will plead with the EU, asking them to delay Cyprus's Presidency over the EU until a solution is found in the Cyprus problem, since Turkey will claim (here it comes again), that Cyprus having the EU Presidency will have a negative effect on the current negotiations between the two sides since the "trnc" is not a EU member also (just like the ICJ ruling and the British High court ruling on the Orams case as well as on Direct flights rulings on flights from the north to the UK, signing deals with neighbouring countries on the Gas and Oil, as well as they will claim, that Cyprus will be biased against Turkey's EU candidacy, demanding Turkey to abide by the "Ankara agreements" to have some of their EU chapters to open/close (I can't imagine why Cyprus would that, since the EU needs Turkey more than Turkey needs the EU !!!!). The idea is of course, that Cyprus doesn't gets to take over the EU Presidency, EVER.
