BTW, how do you expect to build a one nation of Cypriots with one RoC when you GC's declare the year 2005 as the year of the EOKA and give them medals as well? Do you expect (or demand) that in case we do unite, we Turkish Cypriots celebrate the EOKA who tried to genocide us Turkish Cypriots as heroes?



200,000 ethnically cleansed, 5000 dead and 1500 missing, and you expect us to put up with the yearly celebrations of 1974?..Even after we unite?...

Thank you Michael, Exectly Eric can you not see the logic in this? Put things in perpective for Gods sake,

BTW, EOKA is not given the medals for killing TC's, Turks, and GC's - This is not what the rememberance is all about

The issue of cultural assimilation of GC's and TC's is a different issue.

Merkel will pressure Turkey on Cyprus

Newscom

October 05, 2006

German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not yield on pressing for more reforms when she makes her first visit to Turkey Thursday as government head.

Merkel, when she was still the opposition leader, was against Turkey's accession to the European Union, and instead favored what she called a privileged partnership.

While she has leveled less criticism of Turkey's membership since ruling the country in a coalition with the Social Democrats -- who support Ankara's bid for the club -- she remains hard-line when it comes to the realization of reforms in Turkey.

If Turkey wants to be accepted into the EU, Merkel said recently, Ankara would have to open its ports to Cypriots, recognize the Republic of Cyprus, an EU member, and show a better human rights record at home.

Several conservative politicians in Germany, which takes over the rotating six-month presidency of the EU in January, are uneasy about a nation of more than 70 million Muslims, with modest living standards, joining the exclusive club.

Others argue Turkey's integration into the EU could serve as a bridge between the West and the Muslim world.

On business, Merkel's talks will proceed much more smoothly, observers said.

Germany is Turkey's biggest trading partner since decades, and experts believe the 2006 trade volume will reach some $28 billion, according to Deutsche Welle Online.

A group of top business and industry leaders is accompanying Merkel to Ankara.
