@Piratis-
I have said many times that TCs and Turkey give nothing more than lame excuses in an effort to gain on our loss using brute military power.
This minority of 18% illegally keeps 37% of our country under occupation and they even declared this part of Republic of Cyprus as an independent state, which is of course illegal and not recognized by anybody except Turkey.
They say that a form of partition that would separate the two communities in an apartheid way is necessary by recycling over and over their distorted version of a past decade, in an attempt to prove that GCs are the evils that now deserve to be punished by having their land stolen and their human and democratic rights violated, while the TCs are the innocent victims that need to be protected from the "evil" GCs.
Then the question comes (in other recent threads): Would you (TCs) accept partition with a proportional (based on population) split of 18% for TCs and 82% for GCs?
Their answer is NO. But why?
They demanded partition since the 50s, and now they claim there is a separate state in the north called "trnc". It is more than obvious that partition is what they want.
They say that with a true unification the GCs would rule over them, but they want to rule themselves. With an 18%-82% split they would.
They say that they can not live together with GCs again because GCs are evil and can not be trusted. With 18%-82% split they wouldn't have to.
They say they don't want to be a minority. In their new country of 18% of Cyprus they wouldn't be.
Basically ALL of their "concerns" would be satisfied with an 18%-82% partition.
So why they do not accept even that? The answer is simple: Because what they want is to steal as much of our land as possible. Everything else is just lame excuses to achieve this aim and noting more. They believe that the big guns of Turkey can help them to steal from us much more land, and thats what they are trying to do.
Sorry that I refer to TCs and Turks in general. Certainly among them there are decent people. Unfortunately their majority still carries the uncivilized instincts of their ancestors and all they care about is how much land they will grab from the ones they invade.
How about it Zan and Murataga? Why you do not even accept an 18%-82% split so you can be safe separated from the "evil" GCs, with recognition, direct trades, flights etc? Because you believe the big guns of Turkey can help you to steal more land from us, isn't it? There is no reason to try to deny it.
Your problem is that you are blinded by your hatred and can not understand people. Your mind seems to work one way: only outward for talking; the part for listening and understanding is shut down. This post is the official evidence for it.
Firstly, I do not believe GCs are evil as you imply. On the other hand you are a “Turk hater” by your own confession. Here are just a few of your despicable comments about my people, including the very recent one made in your recent post:
“… majority still carries the uncivilized instincts of their ancestors …”
For Turks bloodthirsty barbarians that butchered other nations to steal their lands
Unfortunately the Turks have not improved much since the middle ages
The solution for Cyprus can be either if Turks finally get civilized
The Turks are trying to wipe us out since they set their foot in Cyprus
If Turks were not what they are, and if the only thing that they knew was not killing and stealing the land of others....
What is pathetic is when the Turks, the worst kind of serial killers...
The brutality of Turks is well known to everybody in the region
I have stopped long ago counting the number of times you have named my people and ancestors as uncivilized, barbaric, thief and etc. How do you expect any Turk to engage in a reasonable discussion with you on the Cyprus conflict when you keep provoking them by cussing at their race? On the other hand, I, in all my criticism towards the GCs in the discussion of the Cyprus conflict, try to direct my comments towards their administration and express my disappointment to your posts via separating you from the GCs. Not because your people are angels without wings or blameless in the Cyprus conflict, but beacuse I believe conflicts can be resolved through mutual respect and communication. We are a hand full of TCs that are practically guests in this forum established and dominated by GCs. We are here because we respect GCs and believe in communicating with them. You and all concerned should understand this very clearly and more than welcome to do a search on my name on the forum to better understand what I am saying.
Secondly, the intension of my posts can be classified under three categories:
(1) To show to the GCs that there is another side to the Cyprus conflict that they haven’t been properly explained.
(2) To highlight that TCs and GCs can live as each other’s friends, colleagues, partners but not as each other’s administrators or governors. We have failed at this in the past, we do not want it in the present, and any solution forcing us into it in the future will result in suffering of both sides in catastrophic proportions.
(3) To show that we want unification aswell, but also to underline that the conditions of that unification for us can not be by becoming a minority under a GC dominated administration, who to this very day declare proudly that they are in the business of Hellenizing Cyprus. I respect that Hellenism is the very right and decision of the GCs, but you need to accept that it is our decision and right to refuse and resist it. We want a unification that recognizes that there are two communities in Cyprus that want to cooperate for Cyprus, but want to live in their own space and administration in which they are allowed to make their own policies. There is nothing illegal, unethical, unacceptable or undemocratic about this.
(4) To hear the concerns and different opinions of GCs in the Cyprus conflict.
Look at U.K. and U.S. These people had/have so much in common yet they slaughtered each other like animals over the issue of sovereignty. Ever since they settled on their differences and separated their administrations, they became the longest and strongest alliance in the world. We can cooperate, we can collaborate, we can become allies for Cyprus. But we have to have the right to for our own independence and liberty. This is absolutely a must.
Fourthly, I have time and time presented my solution to the Cyprus conflict. Peace can be achieved in Cyprus only under the establishment of a bi-communal and bi-zonal federation where neither of the communities are allowed explicitly or implicitly their extend their will or sovereignty over the other. I did not make this solution up in my spare time. This is the solution offered by the U.N. that was based on a wide array of concerns of both sides and the circumstances of Cyprus. Undoubtabely, it requires compromise on both sides.
As far as your proposals on the land issue is concerned …. An overly simplistic approach for partitioning the land based on population ratio can not be accepted. Not because we are “land grabbers” as you wish to label us all the time, but because it is not necessarily fair. There are additional criteria that have to be addressed. For example, Egypt is an area of little over than 1 million square kilometers. However, the majority of its population is condensed in an area of 40000 square kilometers (4% of the land) along the Nile river since this is the only arable agricultural part of the country. If Cypriots were living in Egypt, it would not make any sense for me to offer you 96% of the land let alone 82% if that area was the desert. This phenomenon extens mainly to parameters of strategic concerns, natural resources and economic constraints in the case of Cyprus.
Before I finish… I have given a respectable and reasonable answer to your post despite the insult you extended by calling my people to be “uncivilized”. If you are going to respond to this post with the same courtesy and dignity that I am extending you right now, the floor is your’s and I am listening with my heart and mind open. However, if you persist with the same disrespectful and offensive attitude, I will not even bother with an answer.
