There are now a little over 200 countries who are members of the United Nations. I don't know for sure, but I'm prepared to bet that every single one of them has a different constitution based on its own particular history. Cyprus' history seems to me to indicate that a loose federation is the best way to start. No community dominates, no community feels that the other is getting a bigger share of the cake. If it works, common interest will bring closer ties naturally. If it doesn't work then it is better to drift apart in agreement as Czechoslovakia has done.
My friend, you forget the most important element: The land you current sit on belongs by
82% to us. So about what Czechoslovakia are you talking about?? Thats
totally irrelevant. Did the Slovaks stole the land of Slovakia from the Czechs or vice versa?? Slovaks and Czechs have
historically been living in separate areas.
There is no modern state that was created by means of
ethnic cleansing as you are trying to do. Maybe that happened a few times in the ancient years and in the middle ages, but today it is the 21st century. You can't act as an Ottoman and just steal the lands of others and declare land that belongs by 82% to us, as your state!! Yours based on what??? The big guns of Turkey?
TCs are a minority like the minorities of former colonialists that exist in most former colonies. Just like the Turks in Bulgaria or the Whites of South Africa. They do not own a separate area of the country like Czechs and Slovaks did, or like Kurds do in Turkey.
About the democratic systems:
These elements define the fundamental elements of all modern democracies, no matter how varied in history, culture, and economy. Despite their enormous differences as nations and societies, the essential elements of constitutional government--majority rule coupled with individual and minority rights, and the rule of law--can be found in Canada and Costa Rica, France and Botswana, Japan and India.
