As I've said, Verosa at the present time in my opinion, is worthless to the RoC since it requires a lot of investment to rebuild it. Why do all that when the Cyprus problem is not solved yet. The north needs free trade and direct flights far more urgently than the RoC needs Verosa back at this point in time, so they will continue to let the north be what the UN labelled it as, an illegal entity that it should not be recognised by it's members. So far that remains to be the case without any sign of changing, so the RoC will get Verosa back in a settlement in a Unified Cyprus under True Federation which will be still part of Cyprus for all Cypriot to enjoy rather than risk losing half the country by allowing free trade and direct flights prematurely. It's going to be all or nothing for all around and since the RoC has the legality and the recognition and in the EU, they can afford to wait for the right settlement that is in line with the EU Principles. The only thing the north has on it side that keeps the isolation ongoing, is the Turkish Army and the no settlement, because if Turkey does not want a settlement, there won't be a settlement no matter what the TCs say, so what good is it to get Verosa back when the Turkish Army is right next to it as an occupying force. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will Verosa.!
So the GCs would be denying 40.000 refugees the right to return.
