I want to thank those who think my idea is - generally speaking - a good one. I know that the language issue is the major one of disagreement here, but as I said earlier: this is only a suggestion. One thing I do know: Cyprus really is too small an island to be a federation. The people have to live together, and that is - I believe - the best incentive to carve out a truly Cypriot identity with no interference from other countries.
Independence needs to be respected from all sides.
Viewpoint, The EU military and law enforcement contingents would have full authority to (a) defend the island and (b) enforce the laws of the Republic until a purely Cypriot law enforcement body WHICH ENJOYS THE PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE can take over. No stupid rules of engagemet or restrictions, but both would be subject to Cypriot law.
