a new flag should be made to represent both peoples of the island.



I'd like to ask a theoretical question: The flag that is painted up on the mountain is rejected by the south as a national flag, but would it be accepted as a 'community flag' for the Turkish Cypriots if - however unlikely I think it is - reunification does occur.

no. communities don't have flags, they belong to nations that have flags.

States do and the current talks are based on a 2 state BBF solution, like in the USA every state has its own flag.

As I said communities do not have flags. You are right however the northern state will be able to have its flag if it wants it however there are also Greek Cypriots that will be living in that state and your flag needs to be something they will accept as well.

Its A state in the federation of Cyprus not the TURKISH state of the federation of Cyprus.

Then we will vote for what we want in the North state and you guys in the south, that OK with you? So we can vote to keep the current one and you can vote on your current flag then we can have new one for the united Cyprus.

So we in the north can vote for the flag we want and if its the current one then no problem and you can keep yours while we have a new one for the united Cyprus?

if there is re unification why would the tcs use a tc flag,... that tc flag which is more like a turkey number 2 flag promotes division..

re unification one flag for cypritos both tc and gc.. not to officially use the tc flag but im sure many tcs would still use it

I’m afraid your “TRNC” flag is now fucked because GCs will never accept it after you’ve flaunted it on the sacred pendadactylos!

Would TCs consider it appropriate for towns and villages in a reunified Cyprus to retain street names such as 'Grivas Street', and if they objected would GCs be willing to change these names?

Come again. So you are going to dictate the flag for the TCs. Are you holding a referendum on it?
Not forgetting that by the time we have an agreement, we may actually have no dactylos left.
