With Israel on Cyprus´side you can not annex even a bottle in Antalya´s seaside.
32. #31- Some food for thought
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (03.06.12)
(1) There is de facto annexation already in place. (2) The UK is a colonial power who already has 2 sovereign bases on the Island. What is preventing Turkey, another colonial power who has more rights in Cyprus from annexing a portion of the island aswell? (3History shows that when it comes to territory the Turks are prepared to confront even the largest of world powers. Hence, your assertion that Turkey cannot annex Cyprus because Israel is on the Greek Cypriot Administrations side is grossly absurd. Turkey will confront any power including but not limited to the US when it comes to territory.

Turks from Cyprus NOT Turks from Turkey! GET LOST, POOR MINDS!!! If you were normal people you would have been accepted in the EE. But as you saw you need centuries to become human.
34. Stop the nationalistic rubbish and wake up
Richard ,   London   (03.25.12)
"Turkey will confront anyone including but not limited to the US" Wake up. Turkey's been a puppet to the US for decades. Surely you can see that Turkey co-operates with the US's middle eastern policy in exchange for billions in investment. This has been going on for decades. The EU will trade with Turkey but full EU membership? Have you seen parts of eastern Turkey? Some of those people havent even seen televisions... Cyprus is a little country that no one really cares about hence no solution yet.
