Of all possible scenarios this is the one that worries and scares me the most. Violent clashes in the north would be a disaster no matter what the outcome. Not that there would be any doubt of the outcome and what we would be left to deal with.

yeah,I don't doubt the outcome either,Nikitas...
Perhaps i was wrong, we might need 100,000 Turkish troops to protect the TCs very soon... :( :(

You can place a saddle on a donkey ("RoC") but it doesnt make it a race horse (EU).


In other words,you can put lipstick on a Pig,but it is still a Pig.... :wink:

Now where did I hear that??? :)

Hi Bir...Did you read that bit I posted about the GCs moving massive amounts of troops to the border when they thought that Iran might attack Turkey a few years back????? Do you really believe that the Turkish army is not needed???Lets have some real facts here and stop all the sarcasm.... :roll:

You've already been told by Kifeas, you only need a massive Turkish force in order to hold on to the stolen goods ....

Zan, why do you think the GCs were moving 'massive amounts of troops' to the borders?

I was just being a bit flippant,Zan...It wasnt sarcastic...But seriously,I don't think we need 40,000 Turkish troops in the North,no...They can easily reduced it by half,encourage some settlers to leave,and show some goodwill towards the GC side...Despite all the warmongering by some on this Forum I seriously doubt the National
Guard will ever attack the trnc...Everyone knows that it would be a disaster for everyone concerned...Christofias is a sane man... 8)
