As long as we have recognition NOTHING in that 82% would compare to the state that Turkish Cypriots would build. Just agree to them having their 82% because I know our people will make a lot more of Cyprus than the GCs. Talk is cheap so I wont talk too much but deep down you must KNOW what I mean .
As long as we have recognition and as long as Turkey and her influence is out of our country then NOTHING can stop us. GCs have turned the South into a smaller (all be it prettier) Greece and they've done so voluntarily, while we've had to put up with Turkeys influence because we've had no choice.
We've lived on 3% of the land and in tents before, 18% isnt too bad. We have parition and our own state for now, we build it while our people will for once prosper. Once we're all set up and once GCs see for themselves what kind of Cypriots TCs are and once they're begging us to unite, THEN we negotiate how much bigger our state should be...
Sorry but I dont fall for this ''indigenousness'' either and I think a lot of GCs lost their Cypriotness a LONG time ago (probably from time they started shouting 'ENOSIS').
Our aim shouldn't be to partition Cyprus for good, our aim should be to SHOW GCs whos more Cypriot than who and as long as we have recognition WE WOULD!!!
END OF!!!!
TC my friend, As soon as you get the partition and recognition, I don't doubt you will do a great job of building the north and even do a better job then the GCs, as I know how hard working and clever the TCs are, but that is exactly what Turkey will wait for and then start milking you eventually turning the place into a 'kerkhanes'. Unless you have complete independence from Turkey this will not work.
