The TCs might have been pawns before 1974, after August 1974 they were "liberated" and they participatted in the high level talks where they agreed to a BBF. They could have insisted that from that point on that no action should be taken in the north that would jeopardise any BBF outcome, ie no "nationalisations", no forcible expulsion of the GCs of Karpasia. If these were a Turkish policy the TCs could and should have distanced themselves visibly from it. They did not and now Eroglu comes to the talks presenting an even harder line than Turkey.
Even traditionally pro TC media like the UK Guardian have stressed the unfairness of the territorial proposal of 37 per cent for 18 per cent of the population, but Eorglu is not listening, he is faithfully following his master's voice.
As for Enosis being the nemesis of the TCs, well they managed, thanks to the resistance and sacrifice of the GCs, to avoid it with Greece, but they sure as hell succeded in getting it with Turkey.
Sadly you are right Nikitas.
... and even more sadly... i agree with Deniz....
Then you also agree with YFred.
It must be a chemical reaction because i agree too
Be careful! It's highly exothermic.
