Germany and France might not want Turkey but the UK and some others want them and if it wasn't for Greece then several countries would have vetoed Cyprus or they would have used the Cyprus Problem as an excuse to freeze some chapters and our accession would be stuck. To enter the EU every other EU country must accept you. Just meeting the standard criteria is not enough. Cyprus said that it will veto Turkey if the Cyprus Problem is not solved and we already froze several chapters of their accession. You guys need some reality check. Greece is not a super power but it is 10 times bigger from Cyprus. Some idiots here seem to think that Greece is nothing and Cyprus is a super power :roll:

Dude, here some idiots say that Greece can't be our ally because of a coup that happened like 4 decades ago even though the coup leaders were jailed and here you are telling us that the Turks can be our ally after so many decades of ongoing occupation!! :roll:

GR even wants us to have a pipeline to export our gas from Turkey and the Cyprus Problem is not even solved yet! So much readiness to forgive the Turks and make them our ally and so much hate for Greece! Why would some people be like this? Piratis and Hermes were right when they said that these people are just misfits and that the reason they talk in this way is because they are Charlies that can't fit in the Greek environment of Cyprus!

Which country stated that they were to veto Cyprus?

And as if anyone is going to listen to Greece. Greece does what it is told by Germany and if it does not tow the line then I am sure they can boot Greece out because it is apparent that Greece is not up to EU standards like Cyprus is.

Rephrasing the original question: Why was the RoC allowed to join the EU with the Cyprus problem unsolved? Now, would the apprentice political analysts who attempted to answer the question try again?

Why shouldn't it be allowed to? Why should Cyprus be held to ransom by an illegal occupier?

Which countries insisted that a solution was a prerequisite to joining the EU?

Because there are no UN resolutions that the RoC has to comply with.

Credit cannot be given based on assumptions because Cyprus had a good relationship with all EU members of the time.
