Unless ive missed something then there is one thing that people are overlooking if the occupied part of Cyprus also comes into the EU. Part of EU law is free settlement of its citizens - therefore, what is stopping Greek Cypriots buying up lots and lots of land in the north after any settlement??? Any plan to put a cap on the amount of Greek Cypriots moving to the could never stand up in an EU court. Therefore, are we going to have an apparent 'Turkish Cypriot federated state' with a majority of Greek Cypriots living there???
Turkish Cypriots fucked up when the majority of them left Cyprus only to be replaced by Turkish settlers. I told you - the Cyprus issue is about the Republic of Cyprus and Turkey. Turkish Cypriots will slowly be out of the picture - they are a community who's numbers are declining.
I mentioned something about this in another topic. If all the GCs who lost land in the north come back to claim it while others move from the RoC side to the north for other reasons (e.g. to try and start or expand their businesses and capitalise on the new markets), then how can there be a 'Turkish Constituent State' where the majority of people living in it are Greek Cypriots?
It all just comes down to how the land will be split and I can't see how that will be resolved fairly with both sides satisfied.
