and what do you really know about the Cypriots in London!?.
Having been born there, educated and lived there for most of my life you will appreciate that I know TCs in London very well being one of them.
Many of us have very strong links in Cyprus and know what is going on first hand. I myself talk to my dads side of the family regularly
Not the same as living here on the island believe me on that one, you dont have to live this issue everyday its all around us.
Its people like you who bring about the bad feeling in Cyprus because you seem to be very nationalistic toward the Turkish government
As I said before I voted YES in the last referendum to the Annan plan, if I was extreme nationalist then I would have backed Denktas and voted NO, but the referendum helped me see that no matter how we cook up a plan one side will always say no, why keep this pretence and political game up we are only kidding ourselves, and really move towards a solution that would not force GCs to unite with a community where they would have to share anything but the island, we are entitled to 18% of land plus we could negotiate to increase this amount to a percentage where we are unable to return land previously owned by GCs by offering compensation in return for a clean partition, this route appears to be the only way we could even come close to agreeing on anything otherwise we will be arguing the same issues for the next 100 years and still get nowhere. We will never feel comfortable trusting GCs to work with us to build a united Cyprus we will be in constant fear of being double crossed as the first opportunity, they have even recently displayed this en route into the EU.
All the debates on this forum support my arguement that we are two different people who want different things why force both to want the same thing if we can go our seperate ways and get what we want then all be it, lets bring this issue to a close where no one will feel unsecure or threatened and for me thats partition.

lived in cyprus for six years but i never come across these super nationalists that you talk about that want partition in great numbers, i know my community and believe that once all the nitty gritty of property etc. is solved they will and can live with their gc brothers and sisters but the super nationalists like you VP can fuck off to turkey and live there if you like.
Obviously you werent looking very hard plenty of us about and the numbers are increasing everyday, open your eyes and ears next time you look.
What can I say to language like this??, should I stoop to your level, no what ill say im staying put in Northern Cyprus and I love my country and people and if that means i am a nationalist then i accept this label with pride.
You are not mature enough to realize that you will never agree anything with GCs mentality as long as they do not see us as partners on this beautiful island.

Well, brother, the Turkish Cypriots who are aged over 50 are usually against the idea of "living with Greek Cypriots" plus the Turkish Cypriots living abroad, i.e. Londoners. Even my parents were against the unification,
For your information Im under 50, and was pro unification until the referendum which just confirmed that the commitment for a unified Cyprus is not a real one however many plans come and go, however many meetings take place it will result in failure.

2- Most of the TCs who wants reunification but felt frustrated because of the negative stance of GC leadership(majority rule, nullification of treaty of guarantee and treaty of alliance, return of all GC refugees, etc.(%20)
Quite right Insan you can easily put me in this group.
