Here's a view from the other side: http://www.cyprus-mail.com/coffeeshop/tales-coffeeshop-feeding-delusions-grandeur/20110306

With this interesting observation:

The Cyprob is by far our most successful industry and it would be criminal to close it down at a time of recession. If only we could also tax its exploitation all the government’s budget worries would become a thing of the past.

'Grandeur' is only ONE of their delusions - the rest are too numerous to mention!

Yes well now they are facing the realities of being a member state of which they think they are the leader and that any rule they dont like can be ignored. Best they are kicked out now. Should never have been admitted anyway.

It is always amusing to read Patroclos' views and even better to have a 'northy' quote them ;)

I don't think anyone in the EU listens to or believes the Republic of Cyprus anymore.

one only has to look back in time,british forces were kicked out of Malta,Aden and sharja,so the only base they have in the Med is in the south,how bigger role did they play in getting them in the union,for there own benefit
