Yet another doom and gloom merchant, your predictions are like pissing in the wind its come back and hits you in the face look at Greece.

Whatever the reasons Turkey is not playing ball and knows she will never get in the EU Germany and France have told her, so your leverage is null and void.

So do you think there are other reasons than Turkey's EU membership for Turkey to want a solution in Cyprus?

Because Turkey could walk away from talks right now and declare the process dead, couldn't it?

What do you think your pathetic comments will achieve? The fact that Turkey does not recognize the GC south nor has it opened any of its ports to the GC is proof enough that Turkey will choose the TCs over the EU because she knows she will never get in.

Wake up. Turkey is not choosing thew TCs. Its choosing North Cyprus at the expense of the TCs.

Rubbish she has ditched the EU for us ...........

So much for your credibility VP

Joining the European Union remains a top priority for Turkey despite the economic crisis and controversy over comments made on the Armenian genocide. They’re also a key player in trying to resolve the Syrian crisis.

Turkish Minister in charge of EU affairs Egemen Bagis insisted in May: “Turkey is changing, the EU is changing and the new Europe cannot be without Turkey,” he declared. “Until now, all countries that have started negotiations with the EU have become full members. Turkey will not be the first exception.”

Why do that? what benefits would that bring? their current stance brings in more investment, did you know that their international investment rating was just increased.

You obviously know nothing about how international politics works.

Exactly. Turkey needs the EU because it needs to attract foreign investment. Once it's clear that Turkey cannot join the EU then confidence in Turkey will decline as will that investment. Turkey cannot keep playing the game for ever. Sooner or later that investment will go elsewhere. In other words, Turkey will harm itself economically by not joining the EU and by not reforming. It will be held back by being outside the EU.

The ideology of Turkey being closer to the EU than actually joining is more important thats why they will never officially say its overs the ball is in the EU court but they know that officially rejecting Turkey would not only upset the USA but lose Turkey to the east forever which would create a problems in itself eg drugs people trafficking etc.
