The Best Cyprus Community

Division is better than a Federal Solution

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Can't have done much research. Took me about 10 seconds. Try UN Resolution 1251 (1999) Item 11
11. Reaffirms its position that a Cyprus settlement must be based on a State of Cyprus with a single sovereignty and international personality and a single citizenship, with its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded, and comprising two politically equal communities as described in the relevant Security Council resolutions, in a bi-communal and bi-zonal federation, and that such a settlement must exclude union in whole or in part with any other country or any form of partition or secession;


There are, of course, other resolutions saying pretty much the same thing.

I think you need to go instead to www.dictionary.com and figure out the difference between the words communities and states

Observer its very simple. VP said the UN spoke of 2 constituent states after being challenged by UN resolutions. The UN resolutions speak of 2 communities. I'm not arguing the solution formation here, just a some of VP's inaccuracies. Don't take it personally, he CAN make mistakes.

Have you forgotten what Kifeas posted about 2 equal founding states? as declared by the 2 leaders after their meeting before the last meeting this week.

I don't really care what Kifeas said. You posted about the UN and I corrected it. Now you can talk about anything else you like.

As I see it, Community implies people. State/Federation/Lander/County/Canton and probably others that do not come into my mind imply territory.

The UN resolutions call for one country comprising of two politically equal groups of people in two territories.

What the pieces of land are called is a matter of great indifference to me.
