After all this talk of partition, can it work if that was all that was available to us as a solution.

What would make it acceptable to the GC community?

The same question to the TC community?

Lets not get carried away with the "i will never accept that", but lets look at it as another plan to consider.

I think if we return some land to ROC and in turn the TRNC is recognised, a compensation committee is set up to sort out the property issue, all cypriots have the right to live where they want but under that parts laws, and after a time allowed to vote etc.

This is a humble start please expand.

Brother this is really a steal on my thread but Ill forgive you. All GCs are interested in is land and the prosperity it brings, so if we negotiated land for recognition I think we would be on the right track.

viewpoint gardas,
sorry to steal on your thread but up to now i never considered this as an option, just unacceptable to me but times change and other alternatives must be considered, and day by day it is seeming more of an option, this ambargo and non-recognition and forced migration for work is killing our community, for years i have been trying to return home but lack of employement etc. is stopping me personally, the gc administration and especially tassos stance is making me more pessimistic by the day, hour, minute.
So lets discuss this option as a reality or alternative if there is no solution.

under no agreement/solution will 100% of refugees be able to go back, its just not feasable. Why do we have to make GCs citizens of TRNC,like other countries they would have to go through a screening process and reside in the TRNC for a number of years.
If the 18% 82% was agreed, the pre 1974 GC properties owners would be compensated end of story.

To me that is an insult. Your generalization is unfair.
Question what you think you know (I'm not trying to be a wise-ass, Viewpoint, this is just friendly advice).

What do you mean saint? please be more specific.

[Saint Jimmy]

What I mean is that you've come to your conclusions, based on whatever it is you've heard or seen, and they might as well be damn right. But you forgot to think about the possibility that maybe you haven't seen the whole picture or heard the whole tune.
Maybe you haven't seen and heard everything.

No to partition! Its as simple as that. The viability of two states in Cyprus is a fallacy. In the long run it will never work. Economics will see to that. I would expect any recognised TC state to become so reliant on Turkey it might as well be part of it. Partition will mean the Turkish borders will run through Cyprus.
