and have you been sucessful over the past 39 years to get 1 inch of land or one new generation TC or one Turkish soldier to leave?

The Republic of Cyprus's aim is to make Turkey's occupation of Cyprus as financially, strategically and diplomatically costly as possible. In that sense, it has achieved great success.

And Turkey is doing a good job of getting rid of the TCs. The GCs haven't had to lift a finger.

Turkeys economy is performing better than yours and they dont give a shit about GCs, the majority of people in Turkey dont even know you exist, I really expected the GCs to perform much better when they had the chance but nothing absolutely nothing, not one confrontation...Turkey appears to be calling the shots when it comes to the Cyprus issue always one step ahead. You have been in the EU for 9 years and no support no applying pressure no embargoes nothing you must be gutted to finally realize no one gives a shit about a few thousand spoilt GC brats.

Have you met any new generation TCs in the north, they are ages around 39 who have had children of their own.

We have a huuuuge percentage of the total of EUs GNP. That's why we are so "powerful" in the EU.
0.2% actually

Are you for real? Cyprus has got international recognition,sovereignty, EU membership, established control of its gas and oil reserves and controls Turkey's European destiny while keeping up the embargoes on the occupied areas and ensuring not one country has recognised the 'trnc'. Not one.

It's also formed a geo-strategic alliance with Israel, Greece and Western energy companies which undercuts Turkey's energy ambitions in the region.

You really shouldn't underestimate how powerless Turkey has been to challenge any of this. Turkey has been reduced to issuing threats which no-one takes seriously. In relation to Cyprus, Turkey's policies have all failed.

And all that with only 0.2%

You dont seem to live on the same planet, Turkey doesnt give a fig about the GCs or any leverage they feel they have in EU because Turkey is well aware it will never get into the EU, we listen to the Turkish news all the time and the EU is very rarely mentioned the support of the Turkish people to enter has just evaporated just like your leverage. As for natural resources every country is free to exploit their designated areas, you on the hand are thieves you have stolen our recognition and will only give it back if we conform to your rules, well as far as I am concerned you can stick your gas where the sun dont shine the big boys will fleece you guys dry you always forget that you are a very very little fish amongst very large piranhas. what the big boys want the big boys will get and you will just look on powerless to do anything.

Then why is Turkey practically begging the EU to open up its accession negotiation chapters? Why not call the EU’s bluff and withdraw your application for EU membership?

As for natural resources, they belong to the Republic of Cyprus which has followed international law. You see how important it is to have the law and recognition on your side?

How old are you? why pull out when you can milk the EU udders just by showing that you want to join. Dont you think that a country serious about joining would jump through the hoops just like you people did? This tells you clearly what is happening;

what's the red herring here then ??? ..
Its very simple , people actually think that Turkey wants to be in the EU ,..
and as long as it stays like that , the Turkish PM is happy , dont give in on cyprus and we wont let you join ...
Ermmm ok .. lets stay as we are ,,
it has a booming economic country , why would it want to ruin that , why would it want its people
to have EU passports and all wonder off ..
He is playing a blinder of a hand ..


As for the Gas think wait till it arrives you still have another how many years was it??? 4? 5? then we can talk about who is benefiting wars have been started for far less and Im not referring to Turkey.
