Perhaps ...

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Perhaps ...

The TC's as a gesture of unification, should allow one thousand GC's to move back into their villages and see if their business profits increase and that way they can decide if they want urgent unification or not.

HHHmmmmm food for thought

You're crazy, what 1000 GCs want to move into a cesspool re???

the proof is already shown by the 1000s os TCs here everyday for work, shopping, medical and so on.

The TCs don't want anything but unless they are in charge.

B25, we were willing to give back and relinquish significant control.

Pass it over, let me take another hit...

Sadly, Humanist lives in another world. I have a sneaky suspicion he is a nice chap, but his understanding of the cyprob is rudimentary.It is not a child's play Humanist, but a serious matter.

I think a "better move" by the north is to give the UN control of Famagusta (the ghost town) and call for its lawful inhabitants to return. This would be very interesting indeed, but again, I have a sneaky suspision we wouldn't be very happy if such a move from Turkey ever
materialises.

Can you figure this out Humanist?

Why not build churches runaway? I like churches, that cool calm air when you enter inside after you come in from the hussle and heat outside, light a candle, make a wish or a prayer.
One of my treasured experiences was visiting St Antoine on Istiklal in Istanbul for midnight mass. All denominations contributing their part to the celebration, Catholic Nigerians and Phillipinos, Orthodox Armenians, Russians and Syrians, lead by father Antoine the Italian priest.
If you take out the politics, it's all good.
I'm about as religious as the next person (not very) but it's warming to see the comfort and joy it brings people that have faith.

Whilst I know a little on the Cypro I don't claim to be an expert by far, I left Cyprus at the age of 12yrs and living in diaspora for 30 years. So am sure I have missed plenty.

I too was thinking Farmagusta also but thought they have not offered thus far they will not. Farmagusta has been linked to so called emabrgos, the RoC will not accept this. I support RoC on this issue.

So it depends what's attached too. Of course we want a complete withdrawl of Turkish troops. If Turkey made this offer other than a gesture tio unification and to also prove to EU that she is for settlement of the Cypro and that she is for peace I don't see any problems.

If the TC's want to use Ercan under the operational framework of the RoC's other airports I think its would be the beginning of direct flights and the beginning to we give a bit you give a bit for a truly unified Cyprus.

Humanist. now that you have mentioned the EU, you might like to know that November may prove to be a very critical month for the RoC. The GS of the EU will, it seems, lay the blame of failure to find solution on our side and the EU will move, there is no doubt about this, towards lifting the embargo, or so called embargo, call it whatever you like. Unfortunately, in Brussels they do not read the patriotic writings in the forum and since the only signals they get is for fast solution, proposed by Turkey and no time frames, proposed by us, they have already made their minds up about who the weak link is. There is also this small business about Turkey being more important to EU than little wee Cyprus, but we have lost any credibility we may have had when in a split of a second we switched allegiance regarding the Palestinian issue because "it was to our national interests to support Israel" as it was described by Piratis and a few others. Now my friend, let's have no quarrels when the "others" look after their own interests.

Time lines are a way of the bigger nations bullying Cyprus into accepting a deal that will not be fair will not be just and will not be democratic. Bananiot your in a league of your own mate ... There should be no time limits unless the EU and the rest of the world are prepared to intervene the same way they have in Iraq.

I would urge you to look at the long term impact of a Annan Plan solution. People who cannot live where they want too and people who cannot vote a a termly leader that will rule them.... go figure ...

The end of the day the Turks are violating human rights and no one wants to see that including yourself. The TC's are by far enjoying a free Cyprus whilst the rest of us are denied our rights.
