Turkey will ‘pay’ EU price

[Saithan]

Turkey will pay a price for not participating in EU meetings in protest at Greek Cyprus’ term presidency of the bloc, the country’s foreign minister has said.

“Turkey’s seat was there, Turkey’s name was there but no one sat in that chair,” said Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, claiming that Turkey was “losing many things” by being absent from the meetings. Turkey has to be in the same room with Greek Cyprus in order to advance in its EU bid, Kozakou-Marcoullis said. “We will see that this tactic [of not attending meetings that are chaired by Greek Cyprus] will have a boomerang effect. Many EU members and European Parliament will change their attitude toward Turkey,” she said. Turkey has repeatedly said it will not participate in any meetings held by Greek Cyprus during its EU post.

In this time and age Europe (in economic crises) can't really let G.C. have it's way because Turkey is an attractive market guess if we keep this up G.C. and no-sayers will be howling towards the moon without ever catching it

There is no point on persisting about EU membership, we don't need it.

Neither government wants it terribly, they just continue talks which started before them, they barely try.

Mark these words, the EU will need Turkey more than the Turks need the EU. Turks allow us another 100-200 years and we can guarantee you the muslims of Europe will ask you to join us with open arms.

The EU is currently scared of its demographics changing drastically overnight. It is inevitable that Turkey will be a bridging force between East & West.

Islam is spreading fast in their region esp developed countries like france/uk . they have tried everything to distort our image but every move cost them MORE CONVERSIONS. they banned VEIL & minerates of Masjids bcoz they are signs of muslims dominance in christian land....
