It may be that the outcome you fear would have been realised without her influence, but the demise of a Turkish Cypriot culture is of no importance either. In a sense your assimilation by this leadership is made much easier because of your origins.
True but whats the alternative? becoming a minority in a GC state run by GCs? no thanks I personally will take Turkish assimilation every time. If the offer is a partnership where the structure doe snot allow the GCs to push us to one side then their may be some hope otherwise while people like Pitatis want to reduce us to minority status we will be contirbuting to the CF for a long time to come.
Now that Cyprus is in the EU, it would be almost impossible, I think, to have this scenario of GC's isolating any other minority. Give the EU a few more years & all people will be worrying about is if they put out their rubbish in the correct way.
So what difference will the EU make, a body that cannot even keep its word, what security do they offer? do you know about the discrimination of the black minority in France or the Turks in Greece and Bulgaria? The EU means zilch when you are treated as a second class citizen and have to wait around the corridors of the ECHR to get justice. This is something we will never accept and there demand safeguards to make the GCs treat us as equals partners under a BBF.
