Strange though it may seem, if RoC decided that it would recognise TRNC, which would lead to recognition by the international community, and possibly membership of the EU, then all these problems of ownership would be simplified and probably resolved in the medium term.

Think outside the box!

Excellent idea. Legalise the occupation and invasion. I don't know what we were thinking

Even stranger as it may seem, if you all just paddle back to where you came from the problem would be even more simplified and resolved instantly.

Think outside of Cyprus…

Review the last Century. There is hardly a border between EU counties that has not changed in the 20th Century. Sometimes through negotiation, but most frequently because of invasion and war. Not a single person has been brought back to life by trying to take back what was lost through invasion and war; many lives have probably been saved by accepting the facts as they stood. Now, in large part because they are all EU countries, it is all but unthinkable that Germany will now try to seize back parts of East Prussia that are now Poland, or Austria try to have its former lands given back to it. Or closer to hand, that Bulgaria would claim back Western Thrace, or Italy the Dodecanese.

Good idea! Now accept the facts that you’re just an uninvited Ottoman minority squeezed out by the island’s natural selection process and paddle back home…

Hope you feel the same when the Kurds take over the eastern part of Turkey.

Whoever it was who said that RoC had joined the EU but failed to understand the spirit of the EU must have had you two in mind.

But Turkey is not joining the EU.
