"""But Turkey do not recognize the GC run "RoC", how can they open their ports ot country they do not recognize? Its like you opeining your ports to the TRNC.""

VP , Cyprus money is recognised and accepted in the occupied part , I call it occupied not out of malice but in keeping in line with the Internationally accepted situation , ie UN , Europe etc. I would have said the same if the 40 thousand troops were Greeks from Greece occupying any part of Cyprus.

I understand fully Turkeys reluctance to join the rest of the world and recognise Cyprus , but dont you think that it would help matters a great deal and it would also assist Turkey greatly in its path towards Europe-and dont tell me that Turkey has lost interest in joining. - NEVER . Turkey will join sooner or later .

Are we on speaking terms again? I thought you were not going to respond to my posts?

How can Turkey recognize a GC state? called the "RoC" it has missing elements namely the TCs, what they are saying is sort out your problems with the TCs and I will recognize you but no the GC want to push their own GC state, this is not possible and will never happen. The second problem would be that Turkeys recognition of a GC state would mean they would be shooting themselves in the foot and accepting the are an occupying force the next phase of the GC EU leverage plan would be to get rid of the Turkish army and leave TCs at the mercy of a GC state. No way we will not allow this to happen until a solution is found. So GCs would be better off finding a solution with us and not pursuing other plans to weaken the TC community hand and reduce them into a position where they would have to live in a GC state.

For your information Piratis, Turkey is already a priviliged partner of the EU. It has a customs union with the EU and enjoys privileges and obligations that no other country outside the EU does.
