Reply #3: Greece will be raising hell about this statement... [View All]

in short time to be sure. Of course this benifits Schoroder politically with the large Turkish population in Germany.

I was at a conference in Brussels (at the Justus Lipsius Complex) in 96 where a German Commissioner was talking about EU enlargement, specifically with Turkey and Cyprus. After his 45 minute or so presentation, he proceded to have his head ripped off in the question and answer session by every Greek in the auditorium. At one point, the simultaneous translator refused to translate a statement because it was filled with lots profanity.

This is a very touchy issue as is Cyprus.
