I think we can safely remove the BBF off the list as well because we all know that the GCs will never accept power sharing so what's left?
TRNC over? I don't think so.
The TC community is far too small and weak to ever form any worthwhile international entity so all that can ever be achieved if partition ultimately succeeds, is the extension of Turkey onto Cypriot territory and the ultimate evaporation of what was once known as the “Turkish Cypriot” people.
Those Turkish Cypriots who dream of a TC “state” of a mere 120,000 people will be quickly disappointed, as holding onto a micro-state and preserving its desired nature would be the hardest tasks of all for a handful of people.
The interferences from Turkey in the north and the Greek Cypriots in the south will be enormous so expect such a micro-state to have a very short and turbulent life; the Cypriot tragedy repeating itself…
Go research San Marino, Monaco or Andorra.
The micro states and municipalities you mention are not contested by their respective modern neighbors because they are fortunate enough to be located in civilized locations of the world (France & Italy) and have existed for a very long time.
I seriously doubt that such a status would be enjoyed by a TC state on troubled Cyprus…
The only one who'll be creating any "trouble" for the TRNC is the GCs but that would be just laughed at while the TRNC and us TCs live our lives in our own country free of Greek rule.
Macedonia GR, think about Macedonia, what "troubles" has Greece managed to cause Macedonia, anything major that the Macedonians are really worried about...hmmm?
Oh yeah, I forgot........a name dispute....a mere name dispute and nothing else.
