Should we worry about the Turkish threats?

I voted all of the above, because I believe they are willing to do almost anything to achieve their aim.

Still, I think that annexing the occupied areas is something that they will not do because something like this will probably hurt their own interests. They are trying to convince the international community that they should only deal with Denctash and “TRNC” and that Turkey is not directly involved. If they annex the occupied areas they will be inevitably be directly involved, and there will be no way to avoid it.

I hope the government is taking their threats seriously.

I don’t think they will actually do something. The EU has already decided and Turkey can’t do anything about it.
The only thing that I am afraid is that before December they will give a “take it or leave it” kind of solution for the Cyprus problem, and in case we do not accept that solution then they will admit only the south part of Cyprus.

I voted for economic mesures against the EU. Turkey is a huge market and if the threaten the EU countries with some kind of embargo then i think the EU will be faced with an even worst delema.
I hope everthing will work ok !!

i voted "other" but i'm not sure what the "other"s are. keep in mind that denktas is not a dumb man, in fact, he is very clever and he studied law. i'm waitinga suprise from him, but i don't think the suprise will be done by action, but by laws, or something like that.

I think denktash is not clever..he's just the politician like others..ok he studied law but this doesn't mean that he'll make the right decision. He's not very good leader i guess..because Turkey helped him to win the last elections. TC's doesn't want him anymore bec he's working for Turkeys benefits not TCs. this is what i'm thinking. At this moment GC goverment trying to help TCs; but their government done nothing for them..its very interesting i guess and a big question mark Question ...Turkish ppl has to go back their home land.
