I know in 1974 Turkey invaded a European country and is still holding its land. Now you will say it was a peace keeping operation which might not be true but in case it is, its 2014, and Turkish military is still occupying the land of another country. An EU country which obviously veto's its accession to the EU.

When I said shallow, I exactly meant comments like this. What was the circumstances? How about 1974 Cypriot coup d'état by EOKA-B by the support of Greek military Junta? Nikos Samson's nice words about joining homeland? Death of hundreds of civilians? Sorry but nothing is as simple as it seems.
The coup was over and Greek military had already left when the invasion happened. It was simply an excuse..
