EU is asking Turkey to transform into some kind of state, which would be easy for the European countries to divide and destroy it.
And why do you think they want that?
This is the hidden agenda, which now I am realising.
Turkey applied for EU membership decades ago and they are still trying. If there was such hidden agenda that is obvious to you then the Turkish politicians must be really stupid.
Turkey is willing to transform and it has been tranformed dramatically.
Turkey is just making some moves on paper and they avoid some things in order to please Europe. If tomorrow their accession process is terminated then all those "changes" will be reverted within a day. That said, of course Turkey is trying to show some changes. They wouldn't reach this far if they didn't do anything right? However they have to realize that doing half things is not enough.
Recognition of RoC and pulling the troops back from Cyprus. Asking for these means that you do not want an agreement but you want to benefit from the status quo.
And how exactly do we benefit from the status quo when 1/3rd of our most productive land is occupied?
Why dont you ask yourself "why my government doesnt make a step for a solution". Why dont you propose things?
Are you willing to discuss anything that will make Cyprus a truly united democratic country without racist discriminations and without any violations of human rights?
Why doesn't he just say "we want a true solution without expecting Turkey to do every thing".
OK, let me call Papadopoulos and tell him to send our refugees to their homes tomorrow. Lets see if Turkey will allow us to take any initives.
If this is the policy, then please do not trick us by claiming that the Greek side is willing to compromise on a federal solution.
We never tried to trick you. Federal solution as it exist in all other federal countries (US, Russia etc) yes. "Federal" as per Annan plan were there is racial discrimination, and which in fact is a disguised partition, no.
I tell you another double standard
No need to tell us about double standards. We experience them first hand. If no double standards existed then the Annan plan would have been proposed for the solution of the Kurdish problem in Turkey.
The EU is not promissing Turkey a full membership, even if Turkey will meet the criteria. Turkey's membership will be voted in France and in Austria, and we all know the result... Can you guarantee that Piratis?
You know what the result would be today, based on what Turkey is today. Turkey has 15 years to change. Thats enough time to change the public opinion 100 times. However I ask you: Assume that Turkey didn't manage to enter the EU. How would improving her human rights record, improving her relations with her neighborers, giving more rights to the 20% Kurdish minority etc, harm the Turkish people or anybody else.
If Turkey makes these changes is for the best of all people anyways.
