if you beleive Ankara moves all the strings (like our sorry Gvnt and politicians think) you are not right either.
Is blatantly wrong. Turkey pays, and for as long as she does, the TCs will remain puppets. What the TCs going to do with 40,000 armed Turkish troops there? Setiously. The sooner people realise this the better. We are talking to the wrong people, doesn't matter what mask they wear, Etoglu, Akinci, or whatever.

Whose idea was to declare the pseudo in 1983? Wasn't it Denktashe's ? He got the approval from Ankara and proceeded...
Whose idea was to open the gates? Wan't it Serdar's? Rauf opposed. Serdar bypassed Rauf, got the approval from Ankara and proceeded...
Whose idea was it to bypass Denktash during the Anan Plan? wasn't it Talat's? He got the approval from Ankara and proceeded...
Whose idea was to open the Ledra crossing? Wasn't it Talat's? He got the approval from Ankara and proceeded... The Turkish Army wanted it to have a bridge. Talat got approval from Ankara and finally opened it without bridge.
So it's one thing to say Ankara decides for the TCs and another thing the fact that Ankara approves/or disapproves whatever the TCs themselves (rather say their leaders) have already decided on the first place.

If it were like you think then Ankara would have her own people at the Technical committees where the most important details get agreed. Well, where are they??
