The situation that exists today on Cyprus is just the one that happened to come about.
I expect "evidence of pre-meditation" exists for every set of circumstances from Cyprus being part of Greece, through Cypriots living prosporously and amicably together, to being a part of Turkey, or even a part of the Soviet Union.
Evidence of wishful thinking more like, or in some cases frustration.
Partition has been the number 1 aim of the Turkish policy for Cyprus since the 1950s until today. Not merely some insignificant proposed "solution" as you like to present it.
And partition, especially with such large portion of Cyprus going to the Turks as they demanded, could not have been achieved in any peaceful way. The Turks knew fully well that brute force was the only way to make Turkish a part of Cyprus where the 80% of the population was GCs and where GCs have roots going back 1000s of years.
Turkey had a plan to invade Cyprus and they did so at a moment when Cyprus was the weakest. Far more coops happened in Turkey itself. A coop not only is not a reason, it can not even be an excuse to invade a 3rd country and ethnically cleanse the vast majority of its population from 1/3rd of its territory and then continue to occupy this part for 35 years, when the "reason" they invaded was gone within a couple of days.
