Tuesday night - MEPs at the European Parliament discussed the threats and provocations by Turkey in Mad Dog Erdogan's attempts to grab CY's natural resources which the EP is also describing as threats against the whole of the EU.

... "In Tuesday evening's debate, MEPs were united in their concern at the rising tensions between Turkey and the Republic of Cyprus in the dispute over oil and gas exploration. They condemned Turkey's threats and stressed that any threat against one Member State was a threat against the whole EU...."

Thats all well and dandy, but what action is this EU going to take??? Jackshit probably. They need to show the Turks they mean business, stop trade for 6 months ans let them feel some pain, its the only way the Turks know.

EU my backside.

[SKI-preo]

Stop trade... how 'bout dropping some nukes

[Get Real!]

The solution to this problem is very simple…

The RoC should announce at the EU, a 24 hour deadline for Turkey to remove all her threatening ships and planes from these waters or face the cancellation of CyProb talks.

If Turkey does not comply within this time frame the RoC should announce the cancellation of the CyProb agenda and stick to it. Turkey decides.

If Turkey thinks that marauding in these waters is more important than the derailment of the CyProb talks then let her be exposed.

The RoC MUST NOT continue any negotiations while Turkish ships and planes surround the island and threaten 85% of a sovereign country’s population.

[Maximus]

Sanctions will be the first measure the EU implements.

If the Turks believe that they can siphon off an EU asset right under their noses and then try sell it to them too, they are deluded.

Personally, I would let mad-dog-ogan keep running his mouth. The next time he makes a threat with appropriate action as the remedy if the drilling does not stop, I would give the order to blow up the US rig and sit back as they take the blame and face the consequences of their rhetoric.

Despite its many shortcomings for real scientific exploration of resources there is something that the Piri Reis along with Turkey excels at... and that's to provoke a reaction that Turkey, which otherwise wouldn't have a leg to stand, can benefit from.

... and it would prob suit Turkey to provoke a reaction that caused the Republic to walk away from the talks.

Best and only reaction from CY is to carry on with the exploration in Block 12 and to encourage tenders from the world's oil companies for exploratory drilling in the other blocks.... after all, despite all the Turkish bravado and bluster and threats, Noble drilling in Block 12 has been a massive victory, let's have more of the same.

No, I disagree with you. Surounding and thretening a people is cause enough for WAR let alone the cancellation of talks.

Yes, ok, I know you disagree... but there is something else that may be the aim of this provocation and that's to bring the oil/gas matter in to the talks and the silly bugger Pres X has already fallen for it with the sharing statement of a few days ago.

Oh why do I have to spell everything out to you guys…

The whole point of this exercise is to remove Turkey from these precious waters and keep her out indefinitely with a constant legitimate threat the world would support.

[Cap]

GR is right.

This is outright provocation.
The EU's reaction should've been without a doubt more aggressive.
Had the Anatolian sphincters attempted this in British waters... completely different scenario with global protests and outcry.
Speaking of Britain..... where the hell are British??
