But of course this is a better option to the TC's than a
"Clean cut Partiton".Who is going to pay for all the clean up otherwise and also be at the mercy of Turkey forever from now on, and the "TRNC" may not even ever become a EU member along with Turkey as a result of a "clean break".
No, I agree with him. What Talat said is a bad idea for the TC's.
Talat also saying same things Kikapu,
He also says we are not going to wait another 40 years more or more years .The policies of the GC's side drives us for partitions .
our hand is still on the air this words were from Ferdi as well dated 25 january ,Kikapu.
İ have to go for meeting in ten minutes.i will write down what he was saying for you . latter on.
keep following .
Halil,
I think you have missed some of my points.....they were very subtle, I admit.
What Talat, the TC's and Turkey wants is a BBF, but not a True Federation. He wants all the provisions in the 1960 Constitution that are advantages to the TC's but at the same time, maintain Northern Cyprus as a "True TC state", with it's own laws, much like a Confederate State, or as Kifeas calls it "Virgin Birth TC State", without even allowing all of the GC's refugees to ever go back to their homes or land, and limiting their rights. When Talat talks about "reunification was not a divine decree", he is just bluffing to make believe, that he may push for a "clean break partition". Hasn't that already been tried since 1983 with the "Declaration of Independence of the TRNC", and where has it gotten the TC's.???
No Halil, Talat wants a BBF that gives us all the political rights Domestically and Internationally, and at the same time, live as if the North Cyprus is a separate state (country) from the rest of the island. Not a bad deal if we can get it. That's exactly what Annan Plan was all about and that was the reason why it was voted down by 75% of the GC's and surprisingly, it was ONLY approved by 65% TC's. Did the remaining 35% actually expected more than what was offered in the AP.?? If Talat wants all the provisions of the 1960 Constitution, then there can be no North and South states. We will once again have "just" Cyprus back and everyone goes back to their own towns and villages, if they so wish to do so, and if not, they still remain of their own properties where ever they may be in any part of Cyprus. Once all Cypriots have sorted out their lives, then we can talk about the fate of all the "Aliens" on the island afterwards, as to if and how they will fit into the Cypriot Society..
