The illegal entry does not qualify them for residency nor citizenship .
.. this is Cyprus, Turkey should not even concern us,
Turkey has a game plan....
- How's the 4th geneva convention lawsuit against Turkey going for the lawyer lovers? If there was a leg to stand on it would have been stood on already..
as is invasion, occupation and the human rights of the citizens of Cyprus. The choice was made for these issues to be solved on the negotiating table, Turkey has already been condemned of these things in the security council resolutions. If there is no political solution then these are all options open to the Republic of Cyprus.
- What illegal? An unconstitutional change of a constitution now that is treason.
I assume you mean Makarios and the 13 proposed amendments. Guess which word's the key one. How can it be unconstitutional if they were simply proposed.
- Turkey shouldn't concern you - get with the program baby. They are a player and GCs actions FORCE them to be a major player. How many times on international forums have the GC leaders looked for talks directly between GCs and Turkey and not look to incorporate north Cyprus! RoC's actions demand Turkey to be involved.
How many of these posts by GCs have put the whole blame squarely on Turkish immigrants for the outcome as they could not believe that legacy TCs would not want to unify with GCs.
sorry, not making any sense here.What are you talking about?
Who doesn't have a game plan? Is the isolation of north Cyprus not a game plan - how's that working out for the GCs that suffered in 1974?
Isolation? You're free to play sports under the associations that are members of the international associations. You're also free to trade under the green line regulation.
The government of Cyprus needs to approve all airports on its territory and as such you do not have a recognised airport where direct flights with the world can take place. With the launch of the new airport in larnaca however and the fact that sometimes I see more TC's in there than GC's makes me think you can live without that shack with a runway so no biggy there.
Palio, Talat did send many back, there was such an influx and many illegal. But for those that stayed things were better. If GCs wanted Turkish immigrants to support working towards a solution then discriminating against them was not the way forward. In 2004 a referendum was held, GCs didn't want to take the gamble. Now the stakes in the north are higher and more intractable, and will become more so with the passage of time.
You calling the Annan Plan a gamble?
