The trouble is, once money starts to flood out of Turkey and with currency devaluation, the raw material costs, which are mostly imported (oil, gas, metals etc) and denominated in $, costs will go up anyway. So devaluing the currency will not necessarily make Turkish made goods any cheaper. In fact, it can have the opposite effect.

Whichever way you look at it, Turkey will suffer massively. The only way out if Turkey is to be competitive globally, it to drastically cut costs. This means lower salaries, cuts in pensions etc etc.

As far as Cyprus is concerned, it is a very small country and it will not suffer as badly as the larger countries such as Greece and Spain. The short term pain will be great but in the medium term, things will improve greately. Iceland which has a population less than 1/2 million has mostly recovered from a collapse in its banking system, similar to what happened in Cyprus. Unfortunately, the bigger the country, the harder the fall. Look at Argentina for an example, and that is a country rich in natural resources.

It's easy to overlook how cultural factors contribute when things get tough. Some cultures turn in on themselves (I'm afraid Greece might be one of those) and others turn outward and start to invade and cause trouble for neighbours - and Turkey is definitely one of those!

[Lordo]

what a stupid comment. when did terkey last invade any country. the last i remember it was greece who got cocky and invaded anatolia and got their reply.

then they were stupid enough to invade cyprus too. and got their reply too.


now the real question is have they learn their mistakes or will they make a third mistake. thats what you should worry about.

So, you are saying that Greece invaded Cyprus !!!
The massively bombed Cyprus, killed thousands in the process, more than 160,000 Cypriots displaced, 100s arrested and taken to ....Greece, never to be seen again, then they begun to desecrate holy places, cemeteries.

Then they earnestly begun to change the names of towns and villages, imported thousands of mountain people and changed the name of the RoC to the Greek Republic of Cyprus

I wander what Turkey did !!!

Mate you are a first class ...plonker !

[Lordo]

Listen stupid, Greece orchestrated and carried out the coup against the legally elected government of the RoC. It did not send fighter bombers to kill at will, it did not send 40,000 troops, tanks and armoury and divide the island you plonker!

[Lordo]

Can you tell us how many T/Cs were killed by the ...Greek invasion ??

[Lordo]

they had to dispose of the gc civilian opposition first. but if you are telling me that sampson had no plans to wipe out the tcs you are really beyond belief.

what was it babdullos said to the american ambassador - in 45 minutes there will be no tcs left to save - 1964. you guys are beyond belief with your brain cells.

perhaps you can tell my why the coup took place - what was wrong with makarios. he had all the tcs in enclaves and emigrating in their droves. what exactly was it that greece and their puppet was going to do.

[miltiades]

So Turkey .....intervened !!! to put a stop to the ongoing coup, to mediate, arbitrate, and then once order was established what
did Turkey do, well first killed thousands, raped and usurped G/C properties, earnestly begun to alter the demographics of the occupied parts, establishing a pseudo state, changing age old names of villages and towns, some BLOODY intervention you PLONKER!
