We are fooling ourselves if we think that de facto partition is not part a) of the final game plan with a total takeover of the island being the ultimate goal. No matter what we do and what the settlement plan says, the turkification of the north has slid past the point of no return. Changes in the demographic makeup of the population, the changes in place names, in the education system and a host of other facets of social organization show this is how things are.
There is no valid reason to think that a settlement will lead to reintegration of one Cyprus. It will simply give Turkey the chance to reinforce and legalise the process while building claims on the whole island. At some point those claims will become louder and no doubt supported by the usual friends and allies, will assume the status of "legal and valid" claims.

So true Nikitas!
And the worst thing of all is that our silly leaders have been engaging the Turks and assisting them to legalise their gains...the end result could very well be the loss of the whole island.
And to top it all off, we have the apologists who in the end will be our final destruction, which means the war thesis, at the right time and at the most opportune moment could well be our only chance for salvation and survival on the island.....
Now this is all very easy for someone as far away as Australia to say....but when it comes to the survival of our civilization on the island, I will be over there in a flash...
And one ugly fat Greek flies back to Aussieland in a body bag.
If that be the case, then I would rather stay and be buried in my homeland, within the same soil as my forebears.
There are many more worse things than death, the Turks taking Cyprus is one of them...
