#1 Well, the penalty for a "no" on the Greek Cypriot side was supposedly that the Turkish Cypriot side remains under the occupation of Turkey's army, and that a hundred thousand (or more) Greek refugees won't be able to return to their homes. Likewise, about 10% of the island's territory won't be returning to Greek cypriot hands.

The same way that the penalty for the Turkish Cypriots was that they won't be entering the EU. Though they may end up receiving most of the benefits of entry either way.

#2 Further evidence if it were neeed that the UN couldnât run a sweet (candy/lolly) store without it descending into farce.

Like the reason we went to war.
Or the way Saddam got his weapons in the first place.
Sounds like were still in control of the UN

#3 Believe it or not, Katsaris, I'm with the Greeks on this one.
Turkish Cyprus was nothing but an armed invasion in 1974 and as such, they are occupiers of the northern end of the island.

#5 Having just "done" 5 years in Europe. I can speak with a little knowledge on this matter.
The European Union is an Oxymoron!!!
Ignorance, Deceit and "Hidden Prejudice" run amuck in that cesspool of humanity.

#7 There is no great story here. The EU is the largest Socialist Bureaucracy known to man. Larger than the Soviet Union in it's prime.
The tribes of the Gaul's and the Visigoths want to control everything. In 2500 or 3000 years of some form of civilization there is no common language between anyone of the eastern or western tribes of the European continent. The deceit and ignorance is the fact that 250 million people believe there actually unified with other countries in a form of currency and legislation.
The prejudice is the fact that neither the Gaul's or the Visigoths could care less about you or your tribe as long as you pay them tribute. It is the old frog in the pot story, you cook him slow he won't jump out(European Sheepels) you try to throw him into a boiling pot of water he jumps out (Americans). We know when were trying to be cooked, Euros don't. And they prove it over and over and over again. That is why the EU is an Oxymoron
