The turkish army will withdraw only when they decide to withdraw. You have joined eu in hope of applying pressure on Turkey but it has had the total opposite affect.
No one has ever applied real pressure on the Turkish army to withdraw because they realise that it does keep the peace between the 2 communities . As they can't find a solution to solve the problem they realise this is the only solution that is working untill a better solution is proposed.

You are wrong, Musty.
The EU has applied pressure on Turkey through the backdoor in 2004 by allowing the RoC to become an EU member, despite not agreeing to the Annan Plan, much against Turkey's wishes. If Turkey ever want's to join the EU in order to become a developed country and not remain a one step above 3rd world country , and I don't mean with the criminal Erdogan and the his criminal gang ruling Turkey now, Turkey will have to leave Cyprus, so in effect, the EU has given the RoC one of Turkey's balls to squeeze and kept the other one for herself. So in effect, both of Turkey's balls are in the hands of the EU and the RoC!

Turkey will never join the EU regardless of what it says or does. The Germans and French do not want Turkey in the EU. They have enough problems with Greece and the balkan states. Others such as Austria are even talking of a referendum if Turkey should ever get near to securing a place at the table. Are you sure that EU leverage works as it has been totally ineffective in even ensuring so called basic EU norms such as freedom of the Press or Judiciary. Face it despite all these abuses Turkey is still shockingly still a candidate country. They are stringing each other along, mutual tolerance. If the EU were serious abt Cyprus and press freedoms etc they would impose sanctions as they have done with Russia. They haven't even threatened to that yet! Turkey has three major things going for it, Its size and strategic position, its proximity to Europe, the middle East and Russia etc and It also has alot of German and French and British investments.
