VP,
Kikapu its not bad news at all, you may have not notice it because you are so blinded by your hate for anything Turkish
I see you are still throwing those
"Hell Mary Passes" in the hope that you are going to make a
"completion" with one of your
"receivers". :lol:
Well, you always got
"Hiyar Dayi" at the other end who may now and then make some
"catches" from your
"Hell Mary Passes", but then he goes and
"fumbles" it while celebrating prematurely.
has said the EU all along keep your word about removing isolation on the north and I will open my ports, nothing new.
And I've told you it is not part of the package for her EU entry requirement for the EU to lift the isolation on the "TRNC". The only reason there will be a limited isolation lifting, is to save Turkey's face with her own people and the Generals. Simple equation for Turkey...No port opening to the RoC = No further talks on the EU entry.
Everyone said Turkey would choose the EU over TRNC and open her ports to continue on her way in towards the EU and that this would seal recognition for the GC state, well it didn't happen and Turkey stood firm, this year will see a relaxation of the isolation and opening of Turkish ports to GC traffic, I know how much this upsets you but that's the deal.
Turkey already offered to open a single sea port and a airport in 2006 for the lifting of the isolation and keep her EU dreams alive. The EU and RoC did not accept it. If Turkey tries to do the same again, again it will be rejected. The point is, time is running out for Turkey to come to the terms of the EU requirements and start accepting her responsibilities. The day Turkey tells the EU to take her membership and shove it, is the day you can say Turkey has chosen the "TRNC" over EU membership, so until then, always be prepared to be used as a bargaining chip by Turkey. You do not have a choice or any control, so stop with your
"Bravado".No I have not lied I personally would accept 18-20% but this has not been offered and for now the 37% without recognition is whats on the table and what we live everyday
Ever thought about asking the RoC for a 18%-82% split, a hand shake, and a goodbye to have your own True Independence.???
If so, what did they tell you.??
Turkey has stood firm, she has said the EU all along keep your word about removing isolation on the north and I will open my ports, nothing new. No begging, no rush
That's because she had time on her side to be bold before, but now, the time is running out and must do things she does not want to do, and let me give you another thing to think about, as to why this year, 2008 is becoming very important for Turkey to resolve anything she can with EU, is because George Bush and the Republicans are leaving the White House come 2008 US elections in November. The incoming Democrats are not going to be as accommodating to Turkey as the Republicans were. You have already seen the Democrats push the Armenian Genocide issue against Turkey last year, and it has only been put on shelf for a while as not to confuse the issues in Iraq request made by Bush, and secondly, asking the ending of Cyprus Occupation by Turkey. Once the Democrats are in office, Turkey will be in much weaker position to get what she wants, so is the reason for the "Big Push" to get everything done this year, while Bush is still in office.
So in short what I am saying is 1974 did change the picture forever and unless GCs like you come to their senses and negotiate a deal for their land back they will wait and wait and wait and wait forever
Yes, 1974 was suppose to have changed everything forever for all concerned, even had the "TRNC" isolated from everyone until the reality set in, that 2004 was going to be the next changing of the 1974 events with the EU admission of the RoC, so the "borders" were opened to push for the AP to make it easier for Turkey and the "TRNC" to keep things as envisaged in 1974 and maintain it forever. Sorry VP, but 1974's
"etched in stone" policy has been replaced with the 2004 RoC entry to the EU. It is now a new ball game, only you do not want to accept it.
