As for your 'percentage' in a Bizonal make-up that I describe, it will be possible for the 'founding partners' to adapt to the changing demographics we will face in the future while it allows for us, as communities, to sustain ourselves without tearing Cyprus, as a Unitary State, in two.
Piratis sees nothing as compromise but his god given right, he has been offered 71% yet still demands more, the Turkish army will go which is part our guarantee yet he does not see the dangers we face acepting this compromise.
VP Turkish Army's presence is not really part of the guaranty; the guaranty is in the ability to legally defend the TC's from any attack. I feel confident, that knowing what has gone on since 63, it is very unlikely that even the most extreme elements would consider any attacks on the TCs and even if they did that, the RoC will join them in disguise as between 1963 and 1974.
Perhaps one of the Legal Forumers can explain, but The Guaranty is a contract signed by 4 countries and it can not be removed legally unless the all are in agreement. Any one can say what they like and what they believe, but it is a legal matter.
My understanding is that it is not part of the negotiations currently tacking place.
Can anyone tell us if it is one of the chapters to be discussed?
