Kikapu wrote:Annan outlined the plan in a 138-page document[3] and gave Clerides and Denktaş one week to accept it as a basis for final negotiations. He wanted to submit his plan to twin referenda on March 30, 2004, just before the Republic of Cyprus was expected to sign an accession agreement with the EU, and he hoped that the short deadline would provoke Turkish Cypriots to support the plan since it was feared that their rejection would make the division permanent.
This sentence make no sense to me at all.
Surely, it was to provoke the Greek Cypriots to accept the AP or else the division would become permanent. Surely, by declaring the "trnc" as a state by the TCs in 1983, they were in effect declaring a permanent division.!
Did I miss something in the above quote.??
Makes as much sense as a forced migration
