Mssss Kikapolouis
Miss VP,
I can't say I know, what is it that the GC want, to totally to disagree with them. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not a GC.
I do not believe the 1960 Constitution is workable any more, if that is what they want. There has been just too much separation of people and bad feelings for us to be "forced" to live together, but if people want to anyway, they can, under a BBF arrangement. I spent 2 weeks amongst the GC's, and everything was OK. I know it is not the same, with day in day out situations, but let people decide for themselves.
The present situation, where the RoC is the only respected Government in Cyprus, is a correct one. I did not invent this, but it is International acceptance. Is it fair for the TC's not to have direct trade and flight, and my answer will be NO, but it is the right decision to prevent the TC from having one.. You can not have a state within a state, run under occupation, and accept it on you sovereign nation. If the roles were reversed, tell me, if you would accept it. However, if the RoC denied the TC's to use any port within it's control, then of course the TC's should have their own direct everything, but that is not the case.
TC's have the right to form their own community within a separate state, as long as they do not occupy land that belongs to others, and it is under a Federal system. Since most GC's and TC's will not want to live with each other, the land situation will be resolved very quickly, by buying and selling to each other, in a civilized way, and not by "force". I don't know why, that we don't knock the doors down of PappaD, in demanding this.
If worse comes to worse and Partition is the best possible option, then TC's should settle for the 18% of the Northern part of Cyprus, and negotiate to pay for the land, from the TC land sold in the South, and within short time, the two sides will learn to live with this arrangement, as a 2 separate states. After a while, you wont even need check points or ID's to come and go between the two sides. Personally I thinks the North will "die" with it small population and limited economy, unless they remove the check points, and live as if, it was a BBF .
We would have a better chance, under a Federal system with 2 state solution (BBF), but that is my choice and not everyone's cup of tea.
I hope I answered your question Miss VP.!!
But it this way you agree 100% with GC policies and you know this dont bullshit people on this forum.
Piratis does not agree with the 1960 consititution either, he believes it give TCs to many benefits above and over what they deserve allowing for the history of Cyprus. This is not an arguement in favor of TCs, you show your GC colours yet again well done you continue to prove me right.
The "RoC" broke down in 1963 and has its heart missing, we have not disappeared and have rights in this country but it was obvious that the 1960 agreements were not going to applies by the GCs they day they signed them as they always cliam they were forced and they had other agendas. The only reason GC cling onto the 1960 agreements is becuase they have sucessfully eliminated the TC element whic was always their dream.
Time to wake up Msssss Kikapolouis, worst has come to worst and I agree with your 18%+ (taking into land purchase options) division agreement has being a way forward. There are many very wealthy countires with less land mass and resources than the TRNC I think we have the infrastructure in place to make things work as we fucntion as a country even today without recognition but with potential once we have gained, to recogniton to improve economically.
The federal system TCs said yes to GCs resoundingly rejected a watered down version would put TCs on the defensive and a resounding NO would be their answer in a future referendum. This you can bank on unless the AP is amended to a degree that would not make TCs insecure and open to GC domination then you might get a YES from both sides but I cannot say 100% sure the south. They appear to want want total control and a GC state where we are put in our place as a minority with no safe guards.
OK for you Mssssssss Kikaopoluis, still waiting for 1 arguement which is put forward by TCs, the army, settlers, land distribution etc. I doubt you can argue anything if favor of TCs as you are not one and cannot feel and think as we do. You policy is clear total surrender to your GC brothers, bend over all you like we will never follow you.
