I very much doubt that a separate TC state would inherit EU membership but would have to apply through the standard channels if desired.
I also doubt they would be able to survive economically on their own unless they are first put in the care and guidance of a special international program for a period of time to be taught how to run and sustain it until their economy is healthy, but it would take an enormous effort and involve every aspect of their life. The elimination of corruption would be of outmost importance as would a major improvement in education and training, and measures would need to be taken to stimulate private enterprise, etc, etc.
Btw, handouts are definitely NOT the solution for them, but the right tools and training to become self-sufficient.
secondly what will happen to those TC's currently living in Cyprus. Will they become one citizens for example Cypriot without any distinction or will they be expelled to the north and have similar rights of all those other turks that would be living in the trnc as it will be known and recognised internatiionally
The TCs which have been living in the RoC have always had the right to move to wherever they please anyway but I very much doubt they’d be foolish enough to opt for such a volatile state.
or finally will they become a state of Turkey or a canton or whatever Turkey has in territory identification>
Cyprus with her then 500,000 people struggled enormously to stand on her own two feet in the last century so imagine what an even smaller and weaker TC state would have to go through before it matures and stabilizes. Although the UN would most likely include clauses in such an agreement that would legally safeguard a TC state from Turkish annexation, enforcing such an agreement would be a serious problem. The risk of a split between TCs and ENOSIS (to Turkey) supporters would be a constant threat to its existence, and perhaps its downfall…
