Ah, yes the EU will go to war for the RoC, and it was in '74 that the USA will stop the RoT, or Russia will win it for us, or the UN, Israel, France, Syria and the Palestinians... ...I am sorry to say no one will go to war for the RoC, not even Greece, nor do most countries care any more - where are the economic sanctions and embargoes etc on Turkey? The RoC gets platitudes but nothing concrete.
But as long as the RoC electorate believe the line that 'someone else will fix the Cyprob and it will be a perfect solution' then there is no incentive, in the RoC, to drive the process forward, thus allowing the politicians to defraud the electorate by giving themselves an easy living, the President of the RoC earns more than the PM of Spain.
The Cypriots need to stop waiting for others to fix their problem and fix it themselves!
Sorry but I feel very pessimistic about there ever being a solution to the Cyprob that isn't the status quo or separation as the TC population leaves the north.
