Will the GC's be given 50-50 power sharing in your administered area or not.??
Come come VP, fair is fair don't you think.??
So, VP does not want to answer the question on the 50-50 power sharing with the GC's in the TC administered area, just so that he does not want to be seen as a Racist with his "NO" answer.
I can understand that.!!!

Humanist,
This insistence on separation and a distinct state reminds me of a cartoon published a long time ago- in the background is a wishing well, in the foreground is a man, sweating and sraining to cover something huge in front of him with his jacket. A woman next to him asks angrily- "well, now that you got it what are you going to do with it?".
Now if you put your imagination at work and see the situation ten years after the creation of two separate states wht do you see- most people will want to be where the economical action is, near Limassol, Nicosia and Famagusta. Those are the centers of year round economic action. Practically it means that the northern state will be empty of people of a productive age, though it might hold a lot of retirees from other countries. The partitionists do not think of human nature and human behavior, they are stuck in the groove, seeing things in one dimension.
Daily life by itself will bring about changes that will weaken artifices like separate states on an island that is simply too small for such constructs. Systems that work have some inherent flexibility. Stiff inflexible systems fail or are bypassed by people who have to make a living. The two state, three government system is just too stiff to survive in a place like Cyprus and its devious and enterprising inhabitants.
In the end the majority will be asking the partitionists who will by then be in well paid(but undeserved) civil service jobs in the north and in the federal government the question "now that you got it what are you going to to do with it?"
