...i am glad to hear that the Red Cross got the lion's share.
rejectionists are scared, so too are those who seek unity in a manner which can be defined as a single identity, a Federal State, and two communities who are equals. I am prepared for a Unitary State which is the defender of our Individual Rights, and Sovereign as the representative of its people, a United Republic of Cyprus, where all its people are equal in that they vote for their Turkish Cypriot representative, and from a seperate slate, their Greek Cypriot representative so that an Upper House in a Bicameral Legislature with an equal number of seats for each community can be selected, (and hopefully seats for Maronites and Armenians) where a majority is found amongst the Parties of issues, whose Leader's ethnicity is of no importance to be President, except that his counterpart, the Vice President would be from his/her opposite Community. Do the math, this is terrific Democracy for us.
As a seperate level of Government, Two National Assemblies will lead with their majority sustaining themselves in a manner where their taxdollars benefit them as Persons. Cypriots will have a criteria which is to be met, their efforts within the Assemblies for their own Community will reflect this desire for betterment, and in a position to choose, each Community will want to demonstrate as well, their inclusiveness, by recognising that minorities have special needs to be provided for also.
This is Bicomunal.
As for Bizonal it is ridiculous to think that the 'fait accompli' should stand, as though all the remorse can be ignored. We have to do better for ourselves, Freewill has this cost for us without living in denial. Frontiers are offered by including enclaves across the island for "Greek" and "Turkish" citizens who were displaced, so that for some at least they will return as communities ( , for the Settlers who qualify as Cypriots, homes, rather than houses) , and to divide Jurisdictions for the Two National Assemblies rationally.
A "border" will not be possible.
