Why is it so difficult to understand that the TC's do not feel represented by the RoC. There is nothing there for us. Once the TC's were ejected (or if you prefer 'they voluntarily left') the government posts following 1963, the RoC has looked after the interests of everyone EXCEPT the TC's.
We just do not feel part of the RoC as it is now.
Maybe tomorrow is a new beginning. If the polls are correct there may well be a new President and with it new hope.
Then the T/Cs should demand that their interests are looked after by the ROC . They could start right now be demanding that our nation is re united as one with diminished responsibilities by the two cancers that have afflicted Cyprus , Turkey and Greece. As a devoted and a committed Cypriot I have to support the line taken the position taken by all INTERNATIONAL BODIES AND THAT IS THAT THE ROC IS THE SOLE GOVERNMENT OF THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS. Europe says so and so does every other world organization. To accept the "TRNC" is to accept the partition of our island permanently with the threat of inter communal conflict arising some time in the future. The ROC HAS to look after the interests of all its people and where it fails to do so its failing on its statutory obligations to the Cypriot people. As I understand , there are many thousands of T/Cs at work in the ROC and many who have got the Cypriot passport. The only wise solution will be that of reunification , one island and one people , to hell with Greece and Turkey.
There are very few people here that want Cyprus to stay the way it is now, and there are even fewer that want a permanent partition.
Its how we reunite that matters and this has been debated on this forum from day 1. The people of the RoC have voted today, they have voted for a change which shows that there is hope.
As they say in Turkish ' Hayırlı olsun ' (roughly translated - lets hope for the best)
Bravo be gardas!!!!!!
