It was NOT about blocking the budget!
When the EU at some stage started thinking of violating what was agreed yeeears before concerning Cyprus, despite the fact that Cyprus negotiated successfully all chapters and despite the fact that it proved beyond any doubt a solution was not found because of Turkeys and Denktashes intrangidence, Greece threatened that she would also WITHDRAW her consent for EU enlargement towards the ex-German satelite states!
It was a perfectly moral and justified threat.
I hope the matter is now clearer.

She gave a warning after her own time was UP??? What was she doing all these years? It was entirely upto her to solve the Cyprus problem all those years, yet the only thing she was doing through Denktash was to repeat "problem solved in 1974". It seems VP you were not living on this planet around 2000 AD.

Of course it was too late. Too late after the too late grace period granted to her. She got used to be too late. It’s one year now she was let in the EU, she’s done absolutely nothing in solving the Cyprus problem -let aside her own internal problems- the technical committees agreed with Anan have not even been formed, and she thinks she can still go on. After she gets another slap on the face she will start crying is everyones fault except hers….
I repeat Turkey still HAS a way out. She has 1 month left. VAROSH!A !! I will not be surprised if she loses that one too. And then start crying once again.
