Such thing is politically A NON ISSUE today. What we are looking for is a TRUE Federation. In a TRUE Federal system the issues of minority-majority are totally irrelevant at Fed State level.
I don't know how much of a partnership the 1960 constitution was. One of the major things every citizen expects from his Government is to provide for the education of his children. Under the 1960 constitution the Government itself had absolutely no responsibility for that. It was rather the responsibility of the communal assemblies, and we know the TC communal assembly never managed to collect enough money even to pay their own teachers so Turkey was paying their salaries (even between the period of 1960-1963).
In my view a real partnership shouldn't work like that...
Allow me to correct you on that. Turkey, just like Greece, had teachers sent over to Cyprus because, just like the GCs, we had shortage of teachers. The salaries of teachers sent from Turkey were paid by Turkey, yes, but not the ones that were TCs (of course this being the situation between 1960-1963).
Many of the teachers and essentially every textbook lectured in your classrooms were from Greece.
