The Czechs and Slovaks had 2 distinct areas in the state of Czechoslovakia. When they split they each took their own territory and split off. In Cyprus this does not exist anywhere. As recent court ruling s have shown you CANNOT take sovereign and private land from a state and an individual and call it your own.
For the TC's to be ALLOWED to split off into the sunset they need to have their own territory to split off with. Where is their legitimate territory?
How did Russia take part of Poland and Poland part of Germany after WW2 till this day?
I suggest you get your history straight and start with the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WW1. The majority population of the region ceded to Poland was Polish.
Once you read up on that then we can continue your education with the agreements of WWII.
On second thought....read up on the partition of Poland and the land Prussia took first since I fear we need to start you right from the beginning.
What about the bit that your friends the Russians took off Poland, you missed that one out. Was that part of Russia too.
Poland formally ceded these territories (that means they agreed to it Yfred) in exchange for regaining their territories from Germany.
This brings us to another lesson Yfred. You cannot change/reduce the sovereign territory of the Republic of Cyprus without the government of Cyprus formally agreeing to it. Once you understand this important aspect of the Cyprob you can maybe jumpstart your brain into thinking of other possible outcomes for your little army base in the north.
We are getting there slowly. So how did the Germans accept this, after all they are the ones who had a net loss. Once you get this one, the answer for CYProb will become crystal clear.
You can do it. Go on.
I see we have alzheimers as well. If you read a few posts above you will see that the majority population of these teritories which originally belonged to Poland anyway was POLISH.
Its like teaching my grandad how to send an email all over again.
