from the same link:

Turkish Cypriots (TC) and Greek Cypriots(GC) still managed to live together. Fast forward 40 years to opening of Green Line in 2005, when tens of thousands of Cypriots crossed without incident.

IF what you say is genuine, which is why i doubt you... then why not accept a UN army to look after both sides?

UN army is in control of the Permenant members of the secutity council. Do you really think the TCS will trust Russia and the damn frogs for their protection. Pleas pull the other one the middle one has bells on it. We don't need the Turkish armu in Cyprus, but without the gurantee there will never be peace. You will understand it eventually, in about 10 thousand years.

I fail to understand the logic in your argument.

Why does the invader require a guarantee to remain in Cyprus ! Please kindly explain.

i think garantore power is one of this problems that will stop talks as well as what to do with the properties and also turkish army and settlers..

and of course the biggest, there will NOT be two states in ANY form

[YFred]

if the TC's were being targeted would russia as you say or any other country refuse the intervinanse of the UN on an EU state with broad media coverage? i doubt you are that ignorant... you just want turkey to be able to interfere with RoC for reasons you don't want to share with us

You mean a little bit like when they tried to block UN planes landing in Bosnia to protect the Serbs. Yeah of course Russia will run to the TCs aid. Please don't be stupid. There is only on army TCs will trust and your insitance that it should not be allowed to guarantee only adds to our suspicion of your real intentions. Not that different to 1960.

i say start thinking like an eu citizen if you wanna be one

Yeah, unfortunately for you, I am and my rights are withheld by the lovely roc. Figure that one?

[fwnh]

i'm suggesting your protection of the UN and you of the turkish army... but then you go on to say you are suspicious of my intentions? plz

[fwnh]

oh and it was the secutiry counsil that evoked the war on milosevij to protect the muslims so stop chewing on that... it makes no sense, now tell us why you want turkey to have a saying in my independent country?

[Gasman]

well, just reading the responses here - it's blatantly obvious that this could never come about:

* In all settlement discussions, ban the use of the past tense.

They just cannot and it seems never will be able to do that!

[fwnh]

true but we are not the negotiators just anonymous civilians and for some people its the only things they have as arguments... like i said before 'part of the problem not part of the solution'

[Gasman]

but we are not the negotiators just anonymous civilians

But you are the very people that any 'solution' is supposed to enable to live together in harmony, aren't you?

If no amount of legislation, nor concessions, nor apologies, is going to achieve that (and it does seem that that's what caused all the trouble in the first place - your inability for the most part to live in harmony together), what's the point of talks?
