It will take a serious about turn for the US to dump Turkey as it did in Saddam, I can't see that ever happening so we need another way because the law won't do it. Even the EU doesn't really care about Cyprus, if it did it would have refused to start Turkey's accession process whilst it occupied the island.
Just suppose Greece and Cyprus held a referendum whereby Greece proposed to share some of its EEZ (and possibly some cash) with Turkey in exchange for abandoning its illegal occupation, how would a Cypriot vote and, more interestingly, how would a Greek vote? Show your true colours, how would you vote?
Totally agree Jerry.
Well that's a result,VP agrees that in certain circumstances Turkey could abandon it's illegal occupation.
For those that can't read I suggested, "it should offer to share some of its EEZ with Turkey in exchange for quitting Cyprus, it's payback time - there could even be some cash in it for poor Greece." And of course within the EU Turkey would be restrained from militaty excursions against fellow club members.
Jerry, this statement is a bit of an oxymoron (contain and control Turkley from within when it is proving to the contrary now) and Greece should not have to share her EEZ with Turkey, full stop.
It's proving to the contrary now because it's too big for its bloody boots, within the EU Turkey will have to behave or jeopardise its economy. Of course Geece should not HAVE to share its EEZ but its about time that country did something positive to compensate Cyprus for the damage it has done - or shall we wait another 39 years.
