I will, too, be frank with you. Firstly, the TRNC is Turkey, so sleep on that for a while and answer back once you've personally spoken to President Eroglu of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, obviously "Turkish Republic" being the two key words!
As for the below, which I find very amusing from someone as intelligent as you Get Real:
Your Quote:
It’s none of the above MrH and I’m surprised you’re so naïve so let me be frank with you…
The only reason they TOLERATE your stupidities; Turkey’s stupidities, and the “TRNC’s” stupidities, is because at this period in time they are OUTGUNNED plain and simple.
There is absolutely no other reason because the RoC has the moral high ground, the legal high ground, the historic high ground, the RELIGIOUS high ground, and every other high ground imaginable on its side… bar the military one!
The day they catch Turkey militarily weak (and assuming you’ll still be pretending to be a state at the RoC's expense) will be the day they’ll cut you to pieces and make bed spreads out of your hides… make no mistake about that and I’ll bet you that not a single other country in the UN will have any qualms about it.
The "OUTGUNNED" is seriously old news, and truly has no relevance as Turkey has always outgunned the Greek nation(s) in the past, but that has never caused them to suddenly decide to invade Greece, or intervene in Cyprus prior to 1974. The truth of the matter here is that, Yes, Turkey did see an opportunity to intervene under Article IV in 1974, but only after the bloody Coup events of the 15th of July when Greece staged a Military campaign against the Greek Cypriots - trust me, I was there, watching!
Turkey then, and only then, only decided to stay after finding the mass graves of Turkish Cypriot civilians. The Greek Cypriot graves that were found were not of civilians, but mostly military personnel, or those people killed by the Greek Milita and blamed on the Turkish army after the events of 1974. The British know this very well, so do the Americans and the UN, hence which is why they, to this day, do not push Turkey to leave the island (as too many Greek Cypriot hearts will be broken if Turkey were to show the film footage of those Greek Cypriot mass graves - I have seen them). Denktas showed us the footage after the Documentary "DEAD OR ALIVE" was made in 1988 (or thereabouts).
So, we now arrive back at why Turkey will eventually win the Recognition of the TRNC - Ultimately, due to an overwhelming lack of confidence in forming a "Cypriot" nation, thus similarly to the Palestinian and Israeli conflict....to the end of a TWO STATE NATION.
