I have already stated on previous numerous occasions i have interests on both sides of the green line. Clear???
Clear. How many Europeans have interests in Cyprus and especially in the occupied part? I am simply saying that you are not a representative sample of Europeans. Maybe you don't like the policies of RoC because you have interests in the occupied parts as well. On the other hand most Europeans are more than happy with RoC and they agree with the firm policy of Cyprus on the Turkish EU accession issue.
Thats why the dont recognise the TRNC is it?
The British government doesn't recognize it because 1) They don't want to openly support ethnic cleansing - they always prefer to support such things behind the scenes and 2) If they did that they would have big problems with their military bases in Cyprus.
You claim the UK cause more problems for the EU than Cyprus yet you can not substantiate these claim never mind back up with evidence.
Most Europeans feel that UK is pushing the USA interests instead of the interests of the EU. This is one more reason why most Europeans do not want Turkey in the union since the "USA camp" of EU would grow more powerful.
I dont think Europeans in general give two hoots about Cyprus, the respective presidents of the EU without shadow of a doubt look upon it as a migraine.
This is true for the UK and a few other countries. For the rest the migraine is caused by Turkey who refuses to honor their signature, not Cyprus.
This is something that is changing Piratis that even you have to admit. It will take time but these changes are welcome within the international community.
Some changes have been done on a theoretical level to satisfy EU. In practice nothing has changed. Just wait and see how fast Turkey will remove her European mask if/when their EU accession process ends.
Malta 2 Czech Republic 12, I would have to check the rest. My point is that you preach about EU values. You have been a member 2 years now and know very little. There is another thread on the general BB about a German company who want to open estate agents in Cyprus who have been bogged down by paperwork for the last 9 months. Also a Cypriot gets tax breaks when they are repatriating back to Cyprus with regards their car etc. A fellow EU citizen has to pay import duties even though they have been paid in an other EU member state. Dont dare lecture on EU values it sounds very hypocritical.
Every country has its own laws. Cyprus laws are harmonized with EU and only minor details remain to be ironed out, just with every other new EU country. Because you import cars it doens't mean that "car imports" is one of the EU values.
The EU values are those of democracy, human rights, respect to international law etc. Cyprus is not perfect (nobody is) but it is definitely at least at the EU average and continually improving.
I am with you if you want to criticize RoC on some issues. But to say that because Cyprus has some law about car imports this means that the human rights of Cypriots should not be respected and their country should be illegally occupied, it is ridiculous to say the least.
There is a huge difference Piratis. Tpap and PapaD are shortened version of Tassos Papadopoulos not a nickname like you have given "Ali Toilet". It shows a complete lack of respect for your fellow Cypriots. Who is showing their true colours now? With respect you are now acting like a PRATIS.
Tpap, PapaD etc are used by those that try to ridicule our president. If they don't show any respect to the one and only president of Cyprus, why should we show any kind of respect to the one that represents ethnic cleansing and illegality (the 2 elements that make up the pseudo "trnc")
