Czech/Slovak PEACE Model, or Yugoslavian CONFLICT Model?

Considering Turkey's long-and very ambitious EU membership campaign, with regards to a Cyprus settlement, I ONLY see either an Amicable Czech/Slovak Style "PEACE" Model, or the Yugoslavian "CONFLICT" Model being adopted as the most obvious Cyprus settlement.

Which road do you think we will take, and why? As, understandably, a Cyprus settlement based on a BBF plan is now obviously fading, real fast.

It's clear that the GCs are suffering from a "Reality" complex in their rejection of the former Annan Plan or even agreeing to a Loose Confederation based on Two-Founding Cypriot states due to their "Domination" Orthodox Church policy.


Perhaps the Yugoslavian "Conflict" Model will be our ultimate fate?


How uncompromising the Greek Cypriots are, it's a shame they are nothing like the Czechs!

“Be hayvan,” considering that soon RoC will start pumping oil and Turkey will see the boot of the EU, the only obvious solution model I see you will be left considering, will be the “Turkish /Kurdish make love” PEACE style, in which you TCs will accept to be registered as “ocean Greeks,” akin to “mountain Turks,” after the collapse of the “Green-line” wall, akin to the collapse of the Berlin wall in Ferdi Soyer’s “German style federation MODEL!”

Great Joke Kifeas didnt know you had a sense of humour.

Mr H is trying to drive us crazy again!

OK, the Yugoslavian settlement was promoted to STOP ETHNIC CLEANSING not to to encourage it. The divisions were based on PRE EXISTING ethnic divisions. The rights to property and residence are NOT affected. In fact they are expressly guaranteed. Now go back and read the details.

Slovakia was a voluntary dvisions among historically predefined areas and people.

Now tell us why the Yugoslav model should not be imposed on southeastern Turkey in the way it was done in Kossovo.

Why should I trust Greece or the "RoC" any more than Turkey?

What's Greece got to do with Cyprus these days?

But anyway... because the RoC is actually making money whereas Turkey is losing it. If you're going to join someone make sure they're worth it unlike my foolish compatriots who wanted to join with a screwed up Greece in the last century...

Get Real has a point, Zan. Economics is the key, particularly in this time of international recession. As the northern administration is heavilly dependent upon Turkish money, that means things are going to get somewhat more tight...

Its not all about money utu. Unification would see my father get back his land. Still not enough reason!

Zan, trying to makes sense out of things here is like trying to nail jell-o to the wall! One might as well have said that Britian should have partitioned the island in 1960 and stopped this whole mess from happening.

In this thread your roles have reversed... Zan doesn't think money is important but Utu does!

That is one way to look at it, GR! Seriously though, the bottom line is that the north is not a viable economic entity. And if the economy is subject to the whims of a foreign country, how is that going to affect the people, and their standard of living?

The whim of at least three countries utu.
