Whats the point Pyro? What will you or VP gain. As I see it there is too much mistrust and animosity between the communities. The vast majority of GCs will always see us as Turks and hate us with a passion. And if truth be told a vast majority of TCs will hate you guys as you are their lifelong enemies the Greeks.
Please be so kind as to tell me what the best solution would be under these circumstances.
OK Mrfromng I will tell you:
1)Religion deteriorated so much today that nobody cares.Fortunately the TCs were always atheists so this is a plus.
2)30%+ of the GCs and TCs are almost communist.They don't view the other community along ethnic lines.
From the remaining 70% we have so many educated people today who will either view people of the other community according to education rather than ethnic lines.
I estimate a percetage of about 10% Turk haters in the GC community. Nothing will change their mind at least in the short run. There must be a similar percentage among the TC community. They have no chance to prevail among the GC community.
We all know where we will end up with no solution. So it s in our best interests as Cypriots to re-unify. This re-unification has 2 aspects. The political one and the geographic one. Geographically we will be mostly living in areas where the majority is TCs/GCs respectively.What will really unite the people is the economy. If you notice carefully it was the economy that splitted the people in the 60's more than anything else.The troubles and the killings would have passed and forgotten if both communities had equal/parallel/codependent economic status.
NB. Think about it:What unites you with the British people there where you live is your economic status. If you were a poor/put aside Asian you would hate the place and the British
Good post Pyro, not a lot from my point of view that I would argue about. If the solution will ultimately see both sides geographically as they are now then why in gods name was the Annan plan overwhelmingly rejected?
Off to see mum now, later
