Why doesn't Turkey call the EU's bluff then? A solution on the island will remove Cyprus as an obstacle to Turkish accession. It would mean countries like Germany and France would no longer be able to hide behind Cyprus.
Why should they? as I have said and have been proven right Turkey is not an EU country nor does it have to enter the EU, it just has to be seen to want to enter for now.
The EU is just you pawns in a games so they do not have to confront Turkey directly, blames it on the few thousand peasant donkeys and hey presto they are in the clear.
Why should Turkey trust you to unblock the EU path if a solution was found, you have renegged on everything you have signed to date whats to say you will not cry wolf yet again.
So you now think that Turkey is not solving the Cyprus issue in order to keep itself from joining the EU? That's brilliant, VP.
Look if Turkey wanted to join the EU it would have done it quite easily a long time ago, filling in the boxes to meet EU criteria is simple if Greece can do it so can Turkey. But do you see them scrambling to meet the demands of the EU, they are basically sticking up their middle finger at the EU and laughing, thats why your EU leverage is null and void. If there was a constant desire to enter the EU then you would be right, the Turkish nation has near enough forgotten about the EU and dont give a shit about entering, this is reality.
What I have said all along is that neither side desire want or need a solution thats why there hasnt been one all these years.
Now what can change this "desire" imo is gas/water, something is a brewing we have yet to smell it.
