The division is a direct result of the mistakes of the past to which you to contributed...its exactly because of those mistakes that we today cannot find a structure that will ensure everyones human rights, safety and shared democracy...so the TRNC is a direct results of your own actions it will remain in force as long as the GCs and TCs are not won over by anything new plan put before them, never forget we have just as much right and weight as you do, so under no circumstancies will you be able to move forward without our say so.
The "TRNC" is the consequence of Turkey's partitionist agenda since the 1950s. The ROC rejects this agenda and will accept no deal that legitimises the occupation. Turkey needs a solution in Cyprus so that it can join the EU. That solution needs to satisfy the G/Cs as without our consent Turkey cannot join the EU.
If Turkey is serious about joining the EU then it will have to cut a deal on Cyprus. Any other alternative kills its EU ambitions stone dead. The question is: how badly does Turkey want to join the EU? Under no circumstances will Turkey be able to move forward without our say so.
Turkey's EU accession has nothing to do with Cyprus problem. Turco-Phobic and islamo-phobic EU countries will always look for excuses and moreover create obstacles for Turkey, in order not to allow her become a full EU member.
Turkey's efforts of EU accession arise from her western politics which in essential is one of the ROT's basic principles. Turkey has already built up the first step of the Asian alliance by getting into multifaceted and deep relations with 3 Turkic states... In 2 to 5 years u will witness to the establishment of Asian Union. This union won't let greedy Europeans to steal the rich natural resources of Asia...
As for Cyprus, don't see yourself in giant's mirror... in 1 to 2 years the parameters of the solution of Cyprus problem will be changed. It is cyrstal clear to everyone that a solution acceptable to both GC and TC people is not possible...
Then why is Turkey even negotiating with the ROC if it doesn't want to get into the EU? The truth is Turkey is only at the negotiating table because the occupation of Cyprus is the main obstacle to EU membership. Turkey's accession course passes through Cyprus. If you don't get this simple fact then you haven't been paying attention.
You conveniently forget that the present situation is unsustainable for the northern enclave. It depends entirely on hand outs from Turkey. Without a solution the G/Cs will turn the screw diplomatically, legally and economically. You consistently underestimate the legal, economic and diplomatic aspects of the occupation believing that 40,000 troops can secure you what you want.
A state (even a pseudo one) is more than its army. Your politicians realise this fact even if you clearly don't.
