RE: Turkey & Cyprus
Sorry for the bump. No replies here so...
Turkish side of Cyprus isn't recognised by the UK. Greek side is.
Who invaded the Island (and took half)? It was the Turk's? No?
Turkey doesn't want to give back half of Cyprus and Greece is not going to co-operate unless it gets the whole island back. Nobody wants to budge again a situation that will stand still for the next 30 years
My opinion

That's right. A deadlock. A deadlock it will remain and I think if the EU expansion continues they will sort this problem out.
War does not determine who is right, war determines who is left.

Turks were always arch enemies of the Europeans. How ironic it is to grant them membership to EU? 500 years of massacring, forcible conversions and abduction of Balkan Europeans by Turks forgotten in 5 seconds.
Meanwhile I won't be forgetting this:

It is a very famous painting known as "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire" by Ilya Repin. To find out more click on that image.
The painting is based on the reply sent by the Russians and Ukranians in 1676 to Turkish Sultan.
