From what i am reading and hearing the cyprus situation resolved or not will eventually have no bearing on Turkeys E.U aspirations, even though ROC has veto choice in its pocket.
Saying that i am not even totally convinced that Turkey will eventually want to join the E.U, it accepted conditions i would have thought impossible but the turks always have a plan b, so i say stop imagining that the E.U is the end all for turkey as it might prove to be a fatal mistake for all cypriots.
May i also add as much as i dislike tassos he was on the right track for demands and concessions from turkey, but why did he not follow through, we like to believe the story that it has 31 more chances for veto but turkey knows this, something else must of jerked him to backdown.
What i cannot say but i am not trying to invent a conspiracy theory here, the turks are not anybodies fool, as many people state turkey is always a couple of steps ahead what if that couple is more like 10 or 20 steps ahead.
All i am saying is lets all stop the bickering and really look for that solution before it is truely too late.
