You said it VP. Agreed solution impossible. And it will not really abandon you from one day to another.
Look at the facts:
The so called "trnc" is considered a puppet administration of Turkey.
By it's own nature this administration does not operate according to EU laws, in fact it is based on theft and exploitation of GC properties and appartheit. Replace this administration by some government appointed directly from Brussels and part of the problem gets solved. At first this government will deal with governing as per EU laws without touching the property/settlement issue.These issues will start getting resolved after the first year.
Then comes the matter of security.Turkish troops are here presumably for your safety. There will be a de-militarisation schedule as per Anan Plan that will provide enough security for the next 6 years or so. During this period the property and settlement issue will also be resolved. So when the de-militarisation gets complete there won't be any reason for any disputes/troubles.
There are multiple merits for this "solution".
a)You don't get subject to GC control but directly to Brussels.
b)Turkey gets rid of the headache of Cyprus and heads towards her EU road without any problems.
c)You become 100% EU citizens immediately, with absolutely no restrictions. Direct Trade, direct flights you name it.
d)When everything gets completed, those functions of the 2 administrative parts (ROC administration + the Brussels appointed in the north) that are common and directly related to EU matters get joined easily in a common say "ministry" and that "ministry" forms the skeleton of the new Fed Government. Completing the skeleton will be a matter of agreement between the 2 communities, which at that point would rather be a matter of common sense rather than tough negotiations.
That's all.
SOLUTION!! 8)
Good effort but you forget that Turkey is in no real rush to enter the EU, thats what you have to understand.
I could answer each of the points you have raised individually but I think you will understand where I am coming from if I ask you why should I trust Brussels to do the right thing? the TCs do not trust them one iota they have failed them on many ocassions and never kept to their word. With Turkey out of the equation and the GC influence in the EU how do you think we would feel? exposed and very vunerable to indirect domination yet again by GCs hell bent on taking control of the whole island by getting rid of Turkey our only real ally to date.
So you do not trust the GCs while the majority of you hold RoC passports and IDs and voted yes to the "unification" plan WITH THEM.
You do not trust the EU yet you are hell bent in acomodating their experts to provide you with sanitary certificates for Exports. You do not trust them but still demand to send 2 TC MPs in Brussels. You do not trust them but want to have direct trade and direct flights to them.
