But do TC's want to live in a state run from Ankara? The current situation has made the north of Cyprus into a Turkish colony. Not exactly independent, is it?
Why does it bother you so much?
My thesis talked about Taksim and what it meant: split Cyprus between Greece and Turkey, OR split off a seperate state for Turkish Cypriots. The 1983 UDI would have meant the latter meaning, but the actions of Turkey more clearly indicate the former. A facade of "independence" whilst controlling the economy, the military, and the north's "government" is what is happening. For those TC's who believe in independence, it rather makes their views irrelevent, doesn't it? So when Ankara claims to be fighting for 'TRNC independence', they're actually llying to both the TC's and the outside world. That's what bothers me.
