Are you now going to thank the GCs for voting down the AP 2004 to have spared you the economic problems facing the south.
After all, they did you a favour right by saying OXI to the AP?
So lets hear you say, thank you, thank you GCs for saying OXI to that fcuking AP in 2004!
Look on the bright side, now the TCs/Turks can finance the whole next unification plan and not the GCs.
I'm sure the GCs will be happy to spend "your" future Gas & Oil monies to pay back debts on your behalf.
So, lets hear those "thank yous" to the Gcs for saying OXI to the AP of 2004.
But you conviently forget that had they of said YES to the AP they would not have been in the mess they are today as we would have objected to all their eggs being placed into one very damaged basket.
That is all conjecture without any merits, created by Davutoglu and Erdogan which is not based on facts but rather they wanting to be seen as "wise men", except they did not look into the future back in 2004 and make predictions but rather still upset about the GCs saying OXI to handing Cyprus over to Turkey on a platter...
So, when are you going to thank the GCs for saving you economically by them voting OXI on the AP?
So now we will never know but the odds were definitely in favor of better situation than they are in right now.
So you are now retracting your earlier statement with the above admission. That's good!
As for your other statement that today's situation is worse than what it could have been also doesn't hold water. How could losing Cyprus to Turkey had the AP passed in 2004 would be any better than today's situation? Financial crises come and go all the time, but when things hit rock bottom, the only way is up from there on. It's just a matter of time, but losing one's country to Turkey in 2004 would have been forever perhaps. It's like a woman telling a man that he is drunk and he turns around and tells her "yes I am, but I will be sober in the morning, where you will still remain ugly as you are now"!
