Medman, I suggest to you that the only reason you want a solution in which "both communities should now live separately, in redrawn areas," is only because you hope or believe that in this way your (Turkish Cypriot) side will manage to secure more and better territory than its fair share in Cyprus, being only the 18% of the population. I suggest to you that being in a situation in which your side would have been contained in an area of only the 18% of Cyprus, instead of the 36% that it now occupies, you wouldn't have maintained the above "believes" regarding separation.
As a prove to this, I submit to you the fact that your side, although has always -historically- been pro-separation -as you also propose, it has never proposed to withdraw and restrict itself in an area that is only equivalent to its fair population and property share. In that end, I do not take your believes and suggestions any seriously, and I suggest to you that they are only the product of dissembled thoughts and opportunistic aims.
Kifeas, can you tell me what percentage land Christofias offered in these talks?
