Could it be that Britain now feels guilty for not warning the carpetbaggers when they were purchasing stolen land and now, to get them out of hot water, feels they can do an exchange with the land on the bases?

The Treaty of Guarantee fails the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties thus rendering it invalid…

The treaty is more than invalid, Britain is in breech. Here's another link that legal minded Cypriot government officials might wish to investigate going forward, if Turkey chooses not to join civilisation soon...

All three guarantors would be in the dock.

And they would have to agree to be in the dock, which I guess they will not do.

In most of the examples you have provided the legal entitlements of indigenous people have been given meaningful recognition.
In Australia Indigenous Australians have been granted Native Title to huge tracts of land which is highly valuable in terms of mineral resources and tourism and in the USA First Nation people have had their land rights recognized and they are even allowed to operate casinos. Neither of these peoples had Title Deeds(legal title) and in Australia land use by most Native groups was not in accordance with the formal requirements of ownership (Mabo). I have registered legal Title deeds to property which is recognized at law internationally and through Europe and yet you are trying to say this is of no consequence based purely on the fact that you do not like my ethnic background. The Geneva Convention on Human Rights cannot be breached simply because you hate Greeks.

This is primitive dark age uncivilized logic.

Your ethnic background has nothing to do with my stance. It's what your brethern had tried to do to the Turkish Cypriots in the past that made me choose...
