Really? Thanks
This was not the worst insult I have ever heard, but it is worse enough to enter the list.
There are still many real TC, if you dont want to hear them, just close your eyes and ears.
Soon you will see everything but none of them. Then you will realize what is Turk and what was TC.
Dr.V.!, i kiss you, but do not be offended, maybe there is a difference between a TC and a Turkish Cypriot.
before the British, my village was not "mixed" yet my neighbour was Turkish, the same neighbour over a hundred years. we were more than a socialised society, we were as village dwellers Great Cooperators, life for all of us was idealic. i know the injustice that you speak, and i know that we must demonstrate as his island's dwellers a will which represents to Humanity something for its betterment having an esteem which can be emulated.
our efforts at social engineering has brought us to the point where the words Bizonal, and Bicommunal must be clearly defined so that their Principal can sustain for us a better way of living. We must think futuristicly, hanges to our demographics as a People, and as Persons will lead to more unproductive unrest. Our State must be strong if we expect it to represent us as a Global partner, and to defend our Individual Rights. it is possible therefore, for two National Assemblies to provide as majorities the service which both must complete by a Standard set by all persons as Cypriots in the legislature (or three, I have always suggested that Maronites nee this recognition to sustain themselves, as well)

and what about enclaves?
how can we end the isolation which will always be a possibility, with a "border",how do weoffer communities. "Turk and/or Greek a recognition that theirdisplacement was not Just? How can we develop the island so that we can enjoy the services that thes communities can provide in a rational manner which has some harmony in its progress? how willother communites grow as the furture may bring peace in the middle east, growth from an African population mobile, now free from hunger and disease. are we able? is our culture of inclusiveness "ending" with our Turkishness an exclusion to our Greekness mutually.
...that sounds like a sorry bit of history to me.
the question is zan, in reply to your choice (but not you in particular)
can you live with something completely different, something like what i have proposed, if it is the choice, where you cannot have Partition, but you are closer to your taxdollar, having self-representation for yourself in your community, as a Cypriot voting as equals, in a single manner, thricely from seperate slates, for an Independant canditate to represent them in the Lower House, as well as one Turkish Cypriot and one Greek Cypriot the political Parties provide as candidates to win in an Upper House having an equal number of chairs to seat them. but this machine is not functional and this is a long sentance, tough not beiable to edit...
if you cannot have "two" governments, or the island torn in two, ...
