VP, besides the reasons why you want agreed partition, which we do not want to know; do you also realize that this can only be possible if it is based on an 82:18 territorial split, and if you do, have you also made up your mind which 18% part of Cyprus will you be taking? If you have, can we at last see your map of this 18% you have reserved, because I have a suspicion you have made a deliberate mistake and have included some more territory that amounts up to 19%, therefore we need to re-calculate it our selves in order to agree?
Playing with numbers to prove your point is not the real issue here, the issue is whether this would be supported by the majority of people on both sides of the divide. The % will have to be evaluated by an individual committee made up of experts who can decide on the disputes and return of GCs who no doubt change the % you wish to force us into. I have asked you many times could you supply an example where the population % determine the land distribution?
VP, let me explain to you a few simple things you do not seem to comprehend!
Whether you will rot in isolation in an illegal and unrecognized territory, as hostages of Turkey for the next 100 years, while at the same time Turkey will get the "boot" from her EU accession process; or whether there will be partition as a way out of the loophole for both your community and Turkey; it solely depends on what the RoC and the GC community will decide! For this decision to be made, we do not need committees of experts to decide on the land distribution and the rest of garbage you have posted above! It is either partition based on 82:18 of the territory, or the …highway!
The highway will be preferred where you can rot to death remembering how it was and pining for what you lost. The knife cuts both ways Kifeas as you know I support agreed partition and would accept 18% although I know many TCs would not as they would keep the 37% and tell you to go to hell because their are many claims of deception in obtaining lands from TCs and these disputes would bring our figure to around 25-29% as always agreed in many of the negotiations.
VP, let me re-explain to you some realities which you do not seem to want to understand, with the hope that this time you will do better!
In 1974, you have managed to win and illegal war, an illegal invasion so to say, after which you have succeeded to illegally occupy 36% of our ancestral homeland. This 1974 victory of yours, was in fact a pyrrhic victory, but was also a victory of just one battle! Ever since your victory of this just one battle, by which you have managed usurping 36% of our country, you have lost all the consecutive battles on the legal and political front. As a result, you have not managed to legalize any one single fait accompli of this 1974 “victory.”
In 2004, you have lost one of the most decisive battles, which alone and by itself amounts to a complete offsetting of your 1974 victory. As a result of you losing this 2004 battle -which brought us the EU accession, we have managed to take your future as a community and the future of your motherland Turkey, as a our hostages, just like you have managed to take 36% of our country as your hostage! Now you hold 36% of our country as a hostage, but we also hold yours and Turkey's future as our hostage at the same time! Just like you have the capacity to illegally exploit our lands and homeland in the north, we also have the capacity to keep you in isolation, without recognition, and the capacity to cancel out Turkey's EU accession process, a vital undertaking for your motherland’s political, social and economic stability! The difference between you, your motherland and us, is that while we have gotten used to having 36% of our country as a hostage of yours and your motherland, and we also know we can survive with it; you and especially your motherland are not used to it at all! That is why the pain will be as much as our pain due 1974, when in a year's time we will deliver her the "boot" and kick her our of her EU accession process; something which will cause her severe internal problems, much more than what she currently faces, while at the same time your isolation and non-recognition will continue!
As Bananiot had already explained to you, in life there are no solutions but options! In yours and your motherland's case, you have 3 options!
The first is to let the status quo continue as it is now, for the next 100 years, something which will also mean the continuation of your isolation and the "boot" for your beloved motherland! The second option is for you and your motherland to return 50% of the territory you currently hold illegally as a hostage, in an agreed 82:18 partition, in exchange of us ending the hostage taking of yours and your motherland's future! The third and in my opinion the most sensible option, is for you and your motherland to drop all of your numerous illegitimate demands towards the reunification of the island, and join us in working towards a single, sovereign, independed, federal Republic of Cyprus, that will be based on the political equality of the two communities but also its citizens on an individual level; without violating fundamental democratic norms and the human, cultural and historical rights of any citizen and any community.
The choice is yours! When you make up your minds, let us know, but try to do it soon and before the end of year 2009!
