The proposals on the Famagusta port would not require the direct involvement of the RoC. The port would be under the authority of the E.U. commission or the two municipalities on an equal footing.

It ain’t the same Army. I have seen them, I have talked to them about training opportunities, pay, and conscription length. As long as you over rate their presence and make it an issue, they will be there through the negotiation of the next Annan plan. Because to GC’s, like your self, (rightfully so or not), to you their presence makes a difference more than it does to that settler.
We had the same issue in the US after the Civil War. First off, there are very few buildings in the Southern part of the US that are over 100 years old. Why? Because the Union soldiers burned them all down. No one talks about what we did to each other. For 50 years they stationed troops in southern cities to “pacify” any further rebellion. And eventually they left. The Turkish Army will one day leave also.
I had to go reread my previous posts; I never justify the troops existence. I am just saying they are of no consequence. Remove it as an issue and you take away its bargaining power.
If you think they do not need to be there then can you and the other G/C guarantee most T/Cs safety?
Friends of mine stayed a resort casino in the north last weekend. Every day there were soldiers working to cut the lawn and doing gardening in the hotel’s park. Why were the soldiers allowed to maintain a privately owned Casino? (In uniform) Later the friends saw that on Saturday and Sunday the soldiers are allowed to eat in hotel cafeteria for free. And why would a Turkish Army officer allow his troops to trade gardening labor for food? Because the Army does not have enough money to feed them.

The amy has the biggest share out of the Turkish capita(I don't know if this is the right word)!!! And now it is either the second or third, and you are telling me that the army has no money to feed its soldiers!!!

Possibly a flippant comment on my part (and if it is seen as so or offensive to anwyone then applogise in advanced) but having personaly been 'fed' by the 'Turkish' army I can state that they do feed soliders but to say they feed them 'well' is not my personal experience. The food as attrocious.
