I actually agree with Kurupetos when he says

We simply need a unitary state without territorial and constitutional divisions.
Two constituent states is the passport for partition in the long-term. And I assure you it won't take long!
Also we need no ,, guarantors, like Turkey or UK, and no UK SBA.

yes, except the spartan skirt-lifter missed out greece from the list of discredited guarantors.

Greece? It's not worth mentioning Greece Zonkie boy.

The RoC's single greatest achievement since the invasion and occupation was its entry into the EU. This wouldn't have been possible without the far-sighted help of officials from within the then Greek government. On our own we'd have achieved nothing.

It's fashionable to kick the Greeks when they're down and god knows the Greeks deserve a lot of stick for the mess they're currently in. But if people think Cyprus can achieve anything on its own then they are really deluded. It's in Cyprus's interest to have a strong Greece within the EU supporting her. It's a disaster that Greece is in such bad shape right now. Not just for Greece but for Cyprus as well.

Its exactly the opposite! Whenever Greece is/feels strong they interfere in Cyprus and as a result we now have 37% of Cypriot territory under occupation and the Cypriot identity under serious risk of extinction.

Greece has been a constant nuisance to Cyprus since their initial interferences at the start of the 20th century which climaxed with the October 1930 uprisings and has been a downward spiral for Cyprus ever since.

Greece has always been the double agent AGAINST Cyprus as the instigator of the creation and nurturing of the “communities” concept on Cyprus that almost wiped out the Cypriot identity. She even had joint-Turkish plans to partition Cyprus by their government PRIOR to the junta government.

I assure you that a crushed Greece means LIFE for Cypriotness.

Needless to say that a crushed Turkey is a bonus and coming...

What makes you think Greece under the junta was a strong Greece? That was Greece at its most weak, craven and pathetic.

A weak Greece is not what we need right now either. A weak Greece risks taking down the Cypriot economy with it. We also need a strong Greece to stand up to the Turks. We've got few friends as it is. It's just fortunate that Turkey has got fewer friends than us these days. Our problem has always stemmed from the fact that the Greeks are too cowardly and weak, not because they're too strong. If only...

I don't, that's why I said... "is/feels".

I’m confident that Cyprus will overcome the (now) relatively small percentage of the banking sector that is associated with Greece, and will prosper.

That contradicts your previous claim... "We also need a strong Greece to stand up to the Turks."!!!

I don't think the current Greek political class feel very strong about themselves. So nothing to fear there. They won't even declare their EEZ which is certainly in Cyprus' interest. They won't even send a friggin' frigate to the Eastern Med. At least we have our Israeli friends to fight on our side...

Fortunately we have the Russians or we'd be heading towards a default.

I said "if only". A weakened Greece sadly allows Turkey to feel it can get away with what it likes.

A weakened Greece might turn out to be an advantage in one respect though. It might have led the Turks to overplay their hand and led them to think the region is theirs for the taking. A weakened Greece has also led us into new alliances with Israel, Russia etc. So it's not all doom and gloom.The fact that we can't depend on Greece might turn out to be an advantage in the long run as it forces us to look elsewhere for strategic partners and turn our backs at last on the non-aligned nonsense.

But sooner or later we're going to need somewhere to invest our gas money and to spread our wings. A decrepit Greece is the perfect candidate for Cypriot colonisation. Cyprus is the mother of Greece after all. And our problem child has never been in more need of help than now. It might be a bastard weak whore-monger of a child but it's still our only child and we can't turn our backs on it.

Only Greece can save us. God save Greece.

[Capt J Sparrow]

Only Greece can save us. God save Greece.

Well, God is the only One that can save Greece now! They are gone for all money (pardon the pun).

[Get Real!]

Fortunately the Slavs have already saved you from their incompetent selves.

It’s ok now, you no longer have to pretend to be Greek!
