I honestly do not understand how anyone in the EU or Turkey would ever think there is a remote possibility of ascension while they still occupy Cyprus, an EU member state.

How was this ever a sincere inducement for Turkey to clean up its act? Cyprus will never vote to allow it until the occupying forces leave (which is insanely complicated now Turkey has second and third generation of ignorant people from the Anatolian plateau living in the hoses of those they disposed You have to do something for those people too).

Turkey under Erdogan is such a tragically consistent saboteur of international relations that I'm almost starting to believe he just enjoys being difficult for its own sake.

Its not a threat that Turkey would leave but it means that the Beautiful People of Turkey suffer because of a Power Trip of Erdogan.
