Your arguements and dry and repetativeleading nowhere. As long as the GCs continue to elect an administration with no intention of resolving squat then the stale mate will remain. The GCs have what they want a pure GC state run by GCs, all they have to do is keep the wool pulled firmly over the GC refugees eyes and they will continue to reap the rewards of being the recognized part of the island.
VP,
In all seriousness, why don't you change your tune a bit and see what kind of response you will get.
For example. Why don't you propose to have a 1 country 2 state solution, but in a TRUE FEDERAL system, and non of that Unfair and Racist provisions that the AP asked for. You know yourself, that you would not have accepted those for the TC's, so don't be surprised that the GC's said NO also.
So what securities and guarantees the TC's would need.
What amount of TC representation needed in the Government.
What establishments or clubs would you recommend to bring the two communities together.
Does it not make a difference, that Cyprus is now in the EU and all previous GC ambitions ( Enosis ) are no longer valid or even possible.
You will have a large TC community in the North, no matter how many GC's decide to move back, so at worse, the TC's will be at least 70%- 30% living with the GC's. I really cannot envision more than 30% GC's moving back, and that will be after 15-20 years, so I'm very confident, that the TC's will remain the majority from now on. So you got what you want, and that is for the TC's to be the Majority in the North. With this kind of percentages, the North will more than likely have mostly TC's in the local Government.
So give as several scenarios as to how the TC's can be part of Greater Cyprus and yet run their own sector with the local GC's. How will this take anything away from what you want to preserve, which is your "Turkish Cypriotness". Give us some positive results as to how it could work out, even if you think, it will never work out, but give it to us anyway, and see what others can do, to help you establish your "Majority North".
Zan, could you address this post for me, which was design for VP, but he has been on a PISSY mood for long time. He is too good to answer my posts. I guess he thinks, that his "shit does not stink".
I will answer some of these points later Kikapu but it does make me wonder if you have bothered to read and understand what VP and I have been writting for the last year. I have not got the knowhow to give you details about how a system like you described would work but I can tell you that you are dismissing a system that has been thought through and compromised on for the last 30 or so years as in the Annan Plan. I have to say that unless the Plan comes back and or another plan is drawn up for me to read through and analyze then how the hell do you expect me to come up with a plan in such a short period of time and with limited knowledge in that respect.
The fact still remains and has not been answered by a single GC except for Kifeas of why the "RoC" did not do more to negotiate a better A Plan. The underhanded way they prepared their OXI was a shock to the whole world and not just us TCs. Perhaps you can explain this to me.
Sorry Zan for throwing too much on your plate all at once.
Just skip all the rest, but just answer the question that VP has been arguing for the last 2 years, and that is, "we want securities and guarantees". I have asked VP on many occasions to tell us what this means, but does not say anything. Do you know what it means Zan, and if so, can you tell us what they are.
As for the AP, Kifeas explained why the provisions that were in there, would not be acceptable to the 's, on another tread. Next time we are on line together, I'll put it on the screen for you, if you haven't already seen it yet. So far no Partitionist have been able to "shoot it down", so yes, another plan is needed, but has to be fair to all, without any Racist and Undemocratic provisions, to neither side.
