Greek Cypriots have a responsibility to earn Turkish Cypriot trust and cooperation. This is not because of blame or who did what to who. It is simply a duty that comes with being a larger portion of the population. Smaller populations will become radicalized and focus on division if they are not offered genuine incentives to cooperate. 1960's Cyprus was too primitive and Levantine to understand the benefits of affirmative action. If Cypriots realized the benefits of winning support and cooperation from all components of the the population I would still be in Kyrenia and there would be no subterfuge Turkey could have used to napalm my all Greekcypriot town. I feel that the public and private sector must be encouraged even obligated to hire/appoint Turkish Cypriots to senior roles. There should be a large number of scholarships for Turkish Cypriots to study at internationally recognized Cypriot Tertiary Institutions. Other good will gestures are required but hopefully you get my point. I would go so far as to provide Turkish Cypriots who wish to work/live in the free areas rent free homes if they can fill skills shortages in regional areas.If it became law that every political party had to appoint at least a number of Turkish Cypriots to senior roles then they would have a reason to cooperate and trust us. In Singapore, political parties must be made up of the ethnic groups represented on the island nation. Even though Singapore is not exactly the most shining example of democracy Cypriots could learn from this multicultural but ridiculously wealthy little island nation and I am not talking about the fantastic Ka-Tong Singapore Laksa. In some ways Cyprus has fewer challenges when you consider the make up of other countries.
Thank you,SKI...Finally, a progressive free thinker who knows what he is talking about...What a pity we wasted 50 odd years chasing stupid nationalist dreams instead of looking at ways of getting on with each other in our tiny homeland...Great to hear too,there is another LAKSA worshipper out there...
Bir, it seems to me that most GCs are oblivious to the TCs needs. They offer this and that and the other while they are tighting the nouse round our necks with their economic suffocation. How about remove isolation. Nothing else is required. Is it that difficult to understand?
It's quite simple YFred - Turkey gives the GCs back their land then the RoC gives back their TCs land back - your isolation will end overnight.
How? How will the isolations end overnight??? Even if all the GC land is returned,and all the TCs got their own land back in the South,.you will still have the trnc...And the Turkish soldiers,and the borders...Nothing will change...Are you suggesting that the ROC is only concerned about people's property rights... The UN will recognise the trnc if all the refugees get their land back??? What about the political situation??? What about the rights of the TCs in the RoC constitution??? What about the settler situation??? What exactly are you on Ed??? I'd like a bit of that if you don't mind???
Next dumb fuck please
