I dont think even the most vociferous of TCs would argue that without the financial aid from turkry the 'trnc' would be able to survive whereas the ROC has proved that it cannot only survive but also prosperas a stand alone nation.So please forgive me if I say i find it hard to believe that the talat leadership is anything but a puppet of turkey doing Turkeys bidding

No problem RichardB, from a factual view point u could easily see that it's impossible to survive without recognition at least as a TC government if not possible as TRNC. In this case of course TCs need financial support from Turkey but this has never meant "I give ur cash so that I'm the boss u r the puppet." TRNC politicians have limited contact with international institutions, governments, politicians etc due to being unrecognized. In this case, it is again factual for Turkey to represent TCs at those international areas...
So I was right then? A 'state' governed by Turkey with only Turkish representation without a care for what the ordinary TC in the street wants being used by the Turkish government to place all the persons it does not want in Turkey therefore changing the demographics of an area without a cuss for internationallaw
Many thanks for the clarification
U intentionally attempted to distort what i said, even though it is too clear to understand what i said.
If the Tc politicians were to take up the seats available to them in Parliment as well as the position of Vice president then they would have access to the international stage without resorting to Turkeys bidding
Hi RichardB,
I'm not sure abt whether u r aware of that the essence of the struggle between TC community and GC community is "Self Determination Right" VS "Political equality of 2 communities". It was and is too obvious that unless TC leadership accepts the minority status GC leadership wouldn't/won't let TC politicians to return their seats in the parliament. What's ur opinion?
Hi insan
we seem to have taken over this thread
i am well aware of the political situation that exists in Cyprus
In my opinion political equality equals one 'man' one vote
It is a fact that the TCs are a minority in Cyprus just as the various Asian and Afro-Caribbean groups are in the UK who only get one vote per person. i cannot see any reason why a united Cyprus cannot exist on this principle.
I have read and listened to the views and fears of VP ,Zan ,Halil and many others of the TC community over the last few years.But what was in the past 30-40 years ago is not applicable today and these fears in my opinion are not justified today.
Cyprus is a member of the EU and as such is under observation by this community and also comes under the regulations of the law as laid down by the EU so the fears of the past should not now be an issue.
Why should a minority group receive special treatment within a country? This is not acceptable in a democracy,
One man One vote in a united Cyprus
