A better idea is to sell off the Turkish Cypriot's share of the oil and gas reserves. That way the TCs could make a useful contribution to the republic for once... :D

The TCs don't have any share of the gas wealth. They are already unjustly being compensated with their free medical, pensions and other. There is an instant saving to be had here, just cut it off, immediately.

Turkey should pay this money by way of compensation for the illegal occupation of Cyprus, never mind getting anything else in return.

and when the stolen resources in teh north come back into the fold, it will help repay the remaining 10 billion faster.

I thought Turkey said it owned this continental shelf and all the Gas.

I thought Turkey was exploring for its own finds.

I thought Turkey was doing a deal with Egypt because Turkey owned the world and its "EEZ" extended to the other end of the Earth.

What happened?

Was that all gas? And now it's offering money? (which it does NOT have btw) :lol:

The money is for recognition of the TRNC not the gas fields it will take those when you start producing until then they are useless.

Best offer they are going to get VP. They voted against the bank raids, which is what they were, but i predict bankruptcy or a future tax audit. Think they will end up paying more in the long run :wink:
