isreal will never abandon cyprus in the near future, because financially have a lot to gain...

think about it, the roc is a push over and the israelis will get more out of this because if they supported turkey
and shared with turkey the EEZ, they could do it if they wanted, would get a lot less from them...

so economically the roc, a small country, will always need a lot less than a bigger country...the israelis know this...
still the roc will get a lot more out of the israelis than what the roc would get out of turkey if there was a solution/comprimise...

so yeah i would bank with the israelis than the turks, because of cojones, compatible democrasies and more generosity...

the turks will give nothing...look at them today trying to steal it...they have absolutely no right trying to explore the south of cyprus...not
after the plundering and stealing the last 37 years...look at the tcs today trying to claim what's theirs underground and not even remotely close to them...

forgetting that they are still keepers of properties not giving them back, attained via the plundering and ethnic cleansing...not even the ghost town...and why not?...ah yes, part of the overall solution...silly of me how conveniant...and why couldn't this sharing be in the context of an overall solution?...ah yes, because whats mine is mine and what's yours is also mine...sinsere apologies for the forgetfulness, how foolish of me...

i would have had more respect for tcs and VP opently admitted if we find oil he wanted nothing to do with it...but tcs today want to gift it to turkey...

no sharing unless you are an roc citizen, work and reside in the free areas...like every tom, dick and harry...you no like?...keep sticking your hand out for handouts from your motherland, sure as hell its become second nature to you guys anyway...

I fully agree.

Now, whether some like it or not, Cyprus and Israel and locked together. Their interests overlap, and they will be intertwined for the next 50-100 years.

Israel, has become our most important friend and ally, and Turkey has got the shits!

This is it folks. This is the game changer, and Turkey knows this full well.

This is why Turkey is talking it up against Israel over the Gaza incident. It is doing this because Turkey knew that the seas between Cyprus and Israel are potentially resource rich and it knows full well, that this alone changes the entire game for everyone.

Cyprus may become an EU energy hub. It's about time we realise the significance of this!

Not us, the EU.

further more what infuriated the turks is the fact the US chose israel and not turkey....they see it as humiliation by the US, and too add salt to injury the US made the turks sign the NATO shield, yes you guessed right to protect israel...a double banger...


the turks are provoking to get an angle...the roc should do well and say nothing as per the israelis...it's behind the scenes real power is exercised as turkey found out...

the added bonus for israel is closer to the EU, via gas and via the roc...also expansion to friendlier borders without the excess baggage...more reasons israel will never abandon the roc...

What has cleared up from the recent Mediterranean mess, is that alliances are now making religious sense…

Christian based: Greece, Cyprus, and Israel
Muslim: Turkey and Egypt

Ultimately, Europeans/Christians will have to group together with a clearly defined border which I believe would have to include a portion of western Turkey.
