On the other hand, if Turkey is not going to make any concessions anyways, then Cyprus has nothing to benefit from Turkey's EU accession. Making our enemy richer doesn't count in the benefits.
Piratis
What you have said typifies Cyprus attitude to the EU. You think that if Cyprus has nothing to "gain" from Turkey's EU accession then they shouldn't be allowed into the EU? So is your attitude consistant with the other nations who are about to or have started their journey to EU accession? What has Cyprus brought to the EU? I'll answer that......nothing but a headache.
You are now starting to show your true colours Piratis. When say that you dont want to make "our enemy richer" you typify what is a very negative attitude towards any settlement.
What makes you think that Erdogan is bluffing. He has an election coming up very within the next year and will concentrate his efforts on domestic politics. What if he is not bluffing? What does the ROC government do then? He may be bluffing almost like your outgoing foreign minister was 2 weeks ago saying they would use their "veto" last week to stop Turkeys EU talks.
Piratis there are divisional policies being used by the ROC government. If you go back to the 1960 constitution then why doesn't PapaD, if he truely wanted unity, invite Talat to take up the post of Vice President fo the ROC as the democratically elected leader of the Turkish Cypriot community? do you think he will, of course he wont as he doesn't want to share with Turkish Cypriots. So tell me why wont the ROC government not knock down the bricks to the door for entrance to the parliament by Turkish Cypriot politicians and invite them back? Being realistic there is more chance of Anorthosis Famagusta winning the Champions League than this happening
What you say has been asked many times when we say that legality should return to Cyprus. Of course this goes together with the end of the occupation. The ones who refuse this and insist on illegality is the Turkish side and not us. Or you mean that TCs should be controlling 1/3rd of Cyprus just by themselves and at the same time share with us the rest 2/3rds?
You never answered the question Piratis but then again your good at that.
Let me ask you a couple of questions which are direct that perhaps you may take the time to answer.
Why hasn't PapaD invited Talat to take his seat at the ROC parliament and invited TC politicians back to the parliament? Wouldn't this show the world the instransigence of the TC side that GC politicians claim?Or are they scared that they do come and take their seats as that would mean that they would have to share?
What do you do if the EU suspend Turkeys EU talks?
Is Erdogan being unreasonable when he is asking the EU to keep their promises to the Turkish Cypriot community by lifting isolations and in return he will lift the ban on GC planes and ships?
C'mon Piratis give some straight answers to straight questions.
