"are to be"? Thats not what you said before ... I hope you understand the difference. If they have some TCs to sit in EU meetings this will be because they will be considered citizens of Republic of Cyprus. "trnc" will not be mentioned anywhere.
As far as I am aware Piratis the go ahead for accession talks does not depend on a majority vote
well, you are just wrong about this, what else do you want me to say?
All countries should agree in December, otherwise there is not "go ahead" for Turkey.
And if it is likely that tiny Cyprus would try to block that, just watch how fast the rules could be changed!
The rules can be changed only if Cyprus agrees. Furthermore, there are other countries that would be very glad if Cyprus takes the responsibility of saying "no" to Turkey. Those are powerful countries within EU and they would much prefer that Cyprus will continue to have this power because this serves their own interests.
Piratis,
If these other countries want GC to veto Turkey, they ARE GOING to make it happen.(so they dont face Turkey's response directly)
If they want to see Turkey in EU, they are ARE GOING to prevent GC to veto it.
Turkey's entarance to EU is a much bigger deal than keeping GC happy(for the big uncles) so if it serves to their interests, they are not going care if GC are happy or not.
Don't underestimate Turkey's importance to EU.
