James, I still feel that given the animosities between the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots (demonstrated in December 1963, and the Sampson coup of 1974), the Turkish Cypriots can only feel safe in a partitioned Cyprus. The TRNC depends upon Turkey for its survival, and at the moment, the line between them being either 'protective' or 'occupation' forces (at least IHMO) is still up for debate. I don't want Turkey to annex the north, or control the TRNC government, yet I don't want to see the Turkish Cypriots marginalized again in a unitary state.

"The Sampson coup" Your use of this phrase alone demonstrates your ignorance of Cyprus's history. The coup originated in Athens, Sampson may have been in favour of it but he was not the instigator nor was he preferred choice as President.

You people always dig up the past to support your notions of animosity. Take a look at the report in yesterday's Cyprus Mail, on a personal level inter-communal relations are improving.

How many percentage ?
Why most of the forum members in here gets angry over personal relations. Have a look what they calls to Bananiot !

So do you suggest we forget the past when it is a record of our past mistakes this may suit you and generates even more mistrust, instead of dismissing it why not face it head on acknowledge it and promise never to make the mistakes ever again accepting any conclusion if you should.

Halil, if I was in Nicosia I would certainly visit you for coffee. Unfortunately I'm in Kent, UK. I suggest you read yesterday's Cyprus Mail.

Like VP has apologized for 400+ years of Ottoman crimes against Greek Cypriots!

You live in your own little world don't you VP?

Btw, what do you think of this disgruntled lot in the article?

Methinks they're looking for union with Greece!

I read it yesterday morning .
u are well come . More contacts between people , more to understand each other .

I have no phobia about races or people . We are children of the Cyprus.
We have to find such a solution in Cyprus to satisfy both side needs . No one have to cry or scream out for victory . Some of us can say united Cyprus , BBF solution , etc...etc ...i am sure there will be always middle way for it .

The past is our history. People should dig it up and learn correctly. Learning our past and talking abt it without abusing to spread and feed animosity is not wrong.

Improvement in intercommunal relations of all communities of Cyprus on a personal level is also a very good development. There's nothing wrong to improve our relations both on personal level and communal level.

Since we haven't been able to find a joint agreement to establish a just federation our improving inter-communal relations will provide us the required mutual relations to develop our sovereign countries with some multilateral joint projects, in the near future.
