A federal structure is what was agreed to by makarios/denktash in 1977. For anyone not knowing what federal signifies, it is this, the federal government ie elected one man one vote, supercedes all other laws made in states, cities or playgrounds..The hightest law of the land is federal..anywhere where any law supercedes federal/central law then we are not a federal republic but rather confederate. Stated again the Tc leaders agreed to a federation in 1977, all peace initiatives have been geared towards a federation, now all of a sudden the Tc want to change the rules in midgame. in 1960, after signing the zurich agreements the where The Republic of Cyprus was formed as a democratic state, and in a democracy (obviously) majority rules, they changed the rules and withdrew when the Majority Greeks wanted to add the 13 points to the constitution...and the majority had every right to do so, if they didnt then Cyprus would not be a democracy. There can never be a solution to the Cyprus problem where the majority Greeks are to be oppressed. All the problems started in 1964 when the minority Turks tried to oppress the majority Greeks and suppress their rights as a majority.And the Tc have continued this policy to this day...
