It is a matter of when not a matter of if.
If is the title of the thread and more the front runner than the "when" you wish for, you can kid yourself but this doesnt mean people will follow unless they are sheep.
Turkey is an unstable torn country with European Turks, secular Turks, Islamist Turks and Kurds.
You keep claiming this but its still standing and will be fore a very long time after you are long gone. Wishful thinking yet again, your venom for Turkey clouds your biased judgement.
Turks are very greedy not realizing that what they have within Turkey is already way too much for them. They want to take north Cyprus, north Iraq and they have some pan-Turanism vision where they dream to be the leaders.
Turkey exists for the sole reason that it suited some powers to exist. If they try to become too powerful and claim too much for themselves then I predict they will get a few slaps and Turkey will fall apart faster than the Ottoman empire did.
One would think that Turks would not be so stupid. But their recent reaction to the Armenian genocide case proves for once again that they can indeed do very foolish things that will cost them dearly.
Dont worry about Turkey she can and has fought her corner very well, worry about your own mess.
What we have to do is to maintain our rights until the right time. When that right time will come nothing else will matter. Those that say that if 10 or 15 more years pass that the partition will be "cemented" simply don't know what they are talking about. The Turks without having any right they are trying to undo 3500 years of history in northern Cyprus, and you are telling me that we will not be able to undo 40 or 50 years of illegality when we will have absolutely every right to do so? All we have to do until then is simple: Not to be fooled to sign away our lands and rights.
You do exactly that, the Aborginies and Native Americans history goes back further than yours look what happened to them. You can wait for as long as you wish in the hope that things will change to allow you a GC state covering the whole island but as long as we have 37% of our island you have to compromise allowing for TCs to have input in decisions that will effect them negatively and allow them to administer their own area. If you shoudl one day realize that these are not extreme issues that we are asking for we are ready to talk otherwise the current stalemate will continue forever.
As far as the TCs go, the choice will be: 1) Be a minority like every other minority in EU, with their 100% human and democratic rights respected and be 100% equal Cypriot citizens, or 2) move out of Cyprus. We will not seek revenge, but the chance of TCs achieving a better deal will be gone. The best deal TCs could possibly achieve on our loss happened in 1960. They can not have any further gains. It is time for them to realize this and either accept to return to 1960 agreements, or make mutual compromises for a solution that will not be worst (or better) than the 1960 agreements for anybody. TCs have from now until the collapse of Turkey to make the right for them choice
These are choices that concern us, thank you for your concern but we also can stand our ground and wait for a change in the situation just like yourselves whereby things get better for us as the TRNC, things will nto always go your way and the results you may hate and wish you have compromised to find middle ground a united Cyprus.
