You people listen to Christofias.

Are you sure?

The Kypreos are not lamp like the mainland Turks, not only they will never accept the Anan Plan or anything worse, they will not even accept anything near the Anan Plan. It is either a truly Democratic Federation or nothing for them.

I don't think Erdogan gets this. Not at all. He seems to think he can intimidate the G/Cs into accepting a loose confederation with a Turkish guarantee. He's in for a surprise. Once the current talks fail Turkey will have boxed itself into a corner. No solution. No EU prospects. Nowhere to go. Just the Caliph and his vague pan-Turkic delusions raving on the sidelines.

Once again you have proved you are an idiot!

What everyone wants to know is what the GCs are going to do in the face of this statement? looks like absolutely nothing.

If we had the power to do something really useful we would have already liberated both the Kibrislis and ourselves from him.
We do have the power to lock Turkey out of the EU though. This will trigger an economic war against her.
And some other diplomatic moves, e.g Christofias already demanded from UNSG that Erdogans statements BE INCLUDED in his next report.

What will the Kibrislis who want unification do anyway, just shout in the streets and be beaten?
What will your cast of partitionists do, aren't you having a party somewhere or is there a problem for you too now?

I am really not sure you guys keeps giving this intransigent, racist, partitionist Turk any more air time really.

Pyrpolizer ..... you may as well save your good words for people who know the meaning of fair

One thing that amazes me my friend is that the majority of Kibrislis even in this forum are well meaning Cypriots. Just count Deniz, Kikapu, Bir, Jahity against VP and Zan. By replying to VP I just express my thoughts which are in line with those of other well meaning Kibrislis and Kypreos, and that's good if you think about it.

[humanist]

yeah .... I know

am a bit over his one liner racist, narrow minded little pea brain comments. ..... actually I cannot comprehend that an individual has so much hate instilled in them they cannot even contemplate peace.

I wish I could read turkish.

My only complaint of the Christofias government is that he has not made Turkish language compulsory for all school children.

VP chimes in with his usual misinterpretations:

"Do you know how stupid you doom and gloom merchants sound"

The posts above contained quotations from TURKISH economist Serdar Pazi. Today the TURKISH minister of finance stated that the situation in Greece is affecting Turkey negatively.

If you think these guys are stupid go tell' em.

Can you point to a branch of engineering in Turkey which has produced a single innovative product? All the examples cited by enthusiastic neo Ottomans involve the local manufacture based on foreign patents, often stolen patents.

The boom in exports is driven by very generous export subsidies, which are not lawful in EU countries. Look up the web pages of any Turkish embassy to see the long list of incentives given to foreign firms and the tax breaks. All this is possible outside the EU, and will have to stop if Turkey ever joins. Which could be the reason for the recent polemic by Erdo towards Europe.

Nikitas, I posted couple of charts about 3 weeks ago on the Turkish Lira losing against the US Dollar and the Swiss Franc (against all major currencies actually) indicating that the TL is on a losing streak. Well, looks like it's getting much worse now, specially since clown Erdogan's self destructive circus act in Cyprus, by bad mouthing the EU. Turks and the TCs should expect life to get more expensive for them as the TL depreciates against ALL major currencies, specially since Turkey is Importing twice as much as Exporting, which is becoming a major headache for Turkey with their current account and Balance of Trade deficits.

Imagine what would happen if the EU pulled the economic plug on Turkey after kicking her out of the EU membership negotiations. I hate to think really, but hey, Erdogan and VP knows best and they know what the hell they are talking about.!

Despite the Dollar being in the toilet and the Euro crisis, they are both kicking the TL in the ass. The Swiss Franc is crucifying the TL. But not all is bad news for those living in the north. The carpetbaggers are loving to see the TL drop against the Pound, since they couldn't give a shit about the TCs predicament being stuck with the TL, and the TC workers in the south, who are paid in Euros, get to take home more TL for their Euros.

Lira plummets, stocks suffer on deficit worries

Under pressure


As the Hürriyet Daily News went to press Friday evening, the lira was on a downward spiral, trading at levels not seen since March 2009. The U.S. dollar was trading at around 1.693 liras, up 12.2 percent against the Turkish currency since April 8.The euro was further boosted by Thursday evening’s agreement between eurozone policy makers and was trading over a record high of 2.432 liras – up 17 percent since the start of the year.
