We've been here before with you, VP. It just isn't going to happen. The ROC is a full member of the EU. And we have good relations with France and Germany. There will be no direct flights or lifting of the trade and other embargos. Just as there is no way that Turkey's EU accession can proceed without normalising relations with the RoC. I thought you'd realise that by now. Especially now that we're likely to supply the EU with its energy needs for decades to come.
Do what you have to Hermes it wont change the reality that we are in the north and you are in the south, the fact that you feel you have the upper hand will not make us roll over and die...in fact it makes us even more determined to keep the status quo and you people well away from the north.
And we will do everything in our power to make sure that Turkey will continue to pay a heavy price for the occupation of our land. EU membership does have its advantages. As does having good lawyers and diplomats. As well as natural resources to exploit. It's surprising how much influence a small country can have on the destiny of a much larger neighbour.
