Really? How are you going to have a Turkish State when the majority of every part of the island is made up by Greek Cypriots? The only way to achieve this is to ethnically cleanse Greek Cypriots and to artificially and forcefully create a TC majority in some part of the island. Isn't this what you support?
Do you know the difference between soverignty and private ownership? those GCs who wish to reside in the TC state will be welcome.
And why should the TCs have sovereignty over a part of Cyprus when the majority of that part are Greek Cypriots, and when Greek Cypriots have 10 times longer history on it?
You can avoid answering but you can't hide the truth
Why should I waste my time answering comments I do not take seriously? This would mean stooping to your level of ignorance and blinkered mindset.
You don't even come close to my level of knowledge. You avoid answering because you have no ability to counter what I say. (and when you try you just make a fool of yourself)
Says the "Viewpoint Dictionary"?
Now whos avoiding answering a valid point...minorities are at great risk if the majority is hell bent on making the feel they are a minority by discriminating and persecuting these people.
An ethnic minority is simply "a group of people who have a different ethnicity, religion, language or culture to that of the majority of people in the place where they live". This is the correct definition. Better study a bit before you come with your own definitions about terms.
You go study. In none of those countries there is any discrimination of citizens based on their ethnicity, religion or language. And in none of those countries there was an ethnic cleansing in order to create a state that is run by a specific ethnicity.
Do these cantons or states have predominantly people of a certain race, colour, religion, language?
In most federations (USA, Germany, Russia, Austria, Australia, India, Brazil etc) the answer is
NO. In the
very few cases that this is the case (e.g. Belgium and Switzerland - although Switzerland is actually a Confederation) this is something that happened
naturally, not by means of
ethnic cleansing!! Can you give me
even one example of a Federation which was created by means of ethnic cleansing in order to forcefully segregate people of different ethnicities?
And even in those cases people are still
not discriminated based on their language, religion or anything else. Belgian citizens for example are free to move and become full residents of any state they like. There is nothing in the constitution of those countries that states that the majority of a specific state must necessarily always be of a specific ethnic or linguistic group.
What you have done is
ethnic cleansing which you are now trying to maintain by imposing some "solution" that would violate our human rights and give to you the ownership of a territory that belongs by 80% to us.
The Cypriot people democratically choose what they wanted for their own island. Who are guilty are those that until then (Turks/ British etc) occupied our island and incorporated it in their empires against the will of the Cypriot people. And the Turks did this again in 1974, something which you are guilty and you have been convicted by UN resolutions as well as ECHR and ECJ rulings.
The
"Cypriots" people at the time included the TCs why were they not included as a party to this issue by 2 sides holding a referendum like we did over the AP where the issue is so sensative, you have no right to make decisions on my behalf which will force me to change my country name religion and ethnic origins.
The Cypriot people (something which you are obviously not part of, since you put it within quotes) are one people and not any "sides", and they can decide in a
democratic way - one person one vote, what they want for their own island. Beyond that nobody would force any citizen to change his religion or ethnic origins or give up any of his human rights.
The "sides" were created when you collaborated with foreign Imperialists and attacked us. And your "side" now has very little to do with the Cypriot people since it is made up by a majority of Turkish Settlers. It is just an extension of Turkey in Cyprus, and very little beyond that.
has all the pieces of paper you have gained from the ECHR UN and ECJ brought you the solution you desire...the answer is NO, they never will.
The papers will not bring a solution, but they are very important. Those papers mean that you will never be able to legalize partition, and when the day comes that we will be able to liberate our island from the foreign invaders we will do so in a 100% legal way and nobody would be able to complain about it.
