Cyprus Conflict

[ronzeus]

Although the Turks and the Greeks take primary blame for the situation in Cyprus, Britain and the Americans have also played a major part in the problem. The Americans secretly supported the Turkish invasion.

Ronzeus, just in case you do not know the invasion took place nearly 40 years ago and most countries now have Freedom of Information Acts. These acts allow information to become available to the public and it can be found anywhere if you bothered to look.

Realy Gerry!!!,  do you even know what a smiley at the end of a comment means. :-\or the differance between a slightly humorous comment or talking down to people. [!]

I really do not find a great deal of humour in a situation where Turkey threatens to deploy warships to prevent Cyprus, in conjunction with an Isreali company, from exploring natural gas reserves. This could have a major impact on the fragile stability that currently exists in the region.

Today, the Turkish government has signed an agreement with North Cyprus to drill for gasnot only in northern waters but also the waters south of the island.

OPO, that's a bit heavy - have you been going to the Desmartinson School of Pompous Criticism? At the risk of inflaming your delicate sensibilities further ...

Wouldn't it be ironic if one of the first acts of the Greek Cyprus EU Presidency would be to throw Greece out of the Eurozone - because, by then, it will have defaulted on its sovereign debt?

[Ovacikpeedoff]

Having the presidency of the EU does not give Cyprus the right to throw anyone out of the EU or the Eurozone.
