What you seam to forget is the words Sovereign means just what it says, Sovereign now say after me Sovereign, that's a good boy ,you are starting to learn. it belongs to the crown, the British Crown and will so for perpetuity.

I see you mentioned a fitting place for EOKA fighters memorial I think Kyrenia castle would be more fitting after all that's where a lot of them met their just ends.

Oh sorry I forgot you cant go there can you!!

Perhaps we can attach the same importance to this sovereignty as Turkey has to the sovereignty of Cyprus.

Now repeat after me, north cyprus will never be recognised as an independent state because the government of Cyprus is SOVEREIGN. S-O-V-E-R-E-I-G-N.

As for a memorial, how about we do a joint one in Crete?

nudist colony? storage for spent uranium? Chinese army base? Native American reservation? testing ground for nuclear weapons?

I believe these are the conditions I mentioned:

The offer would be conditional on a comprehensive agreement being agreed by the leaders of the two communities and then accepted by a majority of their populations and formally ratified by both sides," the UN said in a statement.

Cyprus was split in a Turkish invasion in 1974 which was triggered by a brief Greek-inspired coup.

The Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides re-started peace negotiations in September 2008.

The offer would be for a handover of 45 square miles, just under half of the 98 square miles (254 sq km) that Britain now controls.

From the BBC News website.

So it looks like:

No comprehensive settlement being reached = no handover of land.
