We will not aim to to crush Turkey because we know we cannot do so. However, we will run a successful EU Presidency and we will bring to Europe the fact that Turkey is occupying not only a part of Cyprus but also a part of EU territory. We will maintain that a Country that occupies another territory has no place in the EU and that we encourage Turkey's bid for EU membership provided she follows protocols she signed and behaves like a peaceful nation.
My dear Humanist;
Turkey has been in Cyprus since 1974, dont you think that EU know that the north is under Turkish occupation? They havent done anything since, what makes anyone think that they will succeed when the presidency goes to Cyprus? Whats new? Another tactic/strategy is needed.
No heart should matter to you [tCypriots] more than the gCypriot heart. Win it and you have a future! All other audiences, including the Turkeyish, are irrelevant at this point as you try to chart your way forward. Underestimate the significance of approaching gCypriots with common sense and free of prejudices and you will be losing your only chance to define your Cypriot future.

Know who you talk to, otherwise skase. I respond as a Cypriot first of all.
My apology. No offense was intended. No need for us to lose our cool though.

People who resort to 'generalisations' always have that effect on me. Otherwise I am Mr. Cool....
There was another way to read my comment. It was a response to your plea for a new tactic/strategy. Let me spell it out:
Assuming that the urgency for action is more for tCypriots, then:
1] the only way for tCypriots to remove Turkey is to agree with gCypriots & to convince them of your sincerity
1A] A solution that includes [a] zones, the result of an illegal invasion and occupation AND/OR [b] "equality", veto rights, sovereign bases, foreign intervention rights, obscene guaranteed representation & a crippled independence, the result of bullying and an imbalance of power in 1960, cannot be perceived as sincere by gCypriots.
2] get the "representatives" of the majority tCypriot will [Eroglu is compromised & I feel Talat is also not the right guy] to strike a deal [behind closed doors & irrespective of the UN led discussions] with Christofias [on a 1960 plus changes basis would be the easiest thing]
3] announce to the world that you want Turkey out once you have a basic agreement with Christofias
Ps. I am assuming that you are a tCypriot, even though you are a Cypriot first!
Pss. You should never lose your cool!
