If what you say is all true, don't you think the most logical thing for the RoC to do was to declare Enosis with Greece as soon as the TCs were out of the government.? The RoC was the recognised government after 1963 events which continues to be also today ever since, so why didn't they declare Enosis if that's what they wanted to do after 1964.
The new constitution clearly stated that enosis with any other country was forbidden that's why GCs couldn't openly do this but the undercurrents were still in place and functioning fine that's why the chalice was still burning strong in Greece and was clearly a contributing factor to 1974.
Who cares about what the constitution said at that point after 1963. If the GCs kicked out the TCs as you always claimed, why would they worry about declaring Enosis.? Was it in the constitution to kick the TCs out of the government.?? What about the responsibilities on Greece and Turkey.? Was it in the constitution for them to invade and try to take all of Cyprus for one and 1/3rd for the other.?? Was it in the constitution that Britain would just sit out by NOT defending the Cypriots and the RoC government against Enosis seeking Junta and Taksim seeking invading Turkish army.? Are you really serious, that anyone would really care what the constitution said since no one actually paid attention to it, just because it was designed to be ignored anyway, just because it was not a workable constitution, but yet again, the RoC did not declare Enosis with Greece when the TCs were no longer in the government. WHY NOT.??

Again I will repeat this is much preferred to unity with GCs on their terms.
True Federation is not on GCs terms. You just don't have an answer, only excuses.

I have always stood by True Federation for Cyprus and for all Cypriots as we have in the states where each state is free to do as they like, as long as they do not violate the Federal laws of the land which are designed to protect everyone.
We all know what your idea of a true federation is, we read and debated it we all saw it was just another way of handing the whole island to the GCs on plate and therefore it was rejected and thrown in the bin.
Yes, we do know why you rejected a True Federation plan I gave you, because it did not allow you to secede from the Union or keep stolen GC land. You excuses for rejecting the plan I proposed, was, you were worried that the Federal Government would not trade with Turkey, they would shut down the whorehouse, and that they would shut down the Casinos. Those were you only concerns for rejecting the plan. Talk about running out of excuses and searching hard for reasons to avoid having a western style democracy under True Federation.!

They have struck a balance over many years we do not and at this rate will never trust each other to find the balance necessary to live in harmoney we always feel the other side is trying to stab us in the back and take control of the whole island. That's why we demand guarantees and security that will not allow this to happen.
So who said we should re-invent the wheel and go back 200+ years to start where the Americans started from. We can start their type of True Federation from day one. If it's working in the US, why wouldn't work in Cyprus. You are just making more excuses, that's all.

All you care about is how to keep the stolen GC land in the north and get away with it, which the True Federation will not allow you to do that. You think by keeping the extra stolen GC land is what is going to make the north prosper into a economic power house. It hasn't worked for Turkey with the amount of land they have, what makes you think it would work in the north.
Total rubbish not even worth answering.
It's not rubbish. Only yesterday you were wanting to keep Verosa under the "trnc" authority after it was all fixed up. That tells us a lot about how you think.

To you True Federation, True Democracy, Human Rights, International Laws and EU Principles constitutes a Bad Solution for the TCs, and only if the above principles were violated, then you would think they were a Good Solution for the TCs. No wonder the rest of Europe thinks Turks do not belong in the EU.
This is your interpretation but we do not have to agree with it, you obviously and clearly do not have an understanding of the TCs viewpoint which is moulded by their concerns and fears, the words you band around on this forum of true democracy human rights and democracy for all are just that words, the important thing is practice and thus so far you have failed to put anything forward that would answer he concerns of both sides. So you really need to change your record as it is getting real boring and use your verbal diahorrea to good use and convert your claims into feasibility that will honestly address the concerns of both sides.
I'm sorry (not really) that I do not endorse a so called "peace plan" like the AP which you loved where it was a Confederation Plan which violated others Human Rights, violated International Laws, as well as EU Principles. What can I say, I live with western values where as you like to live values of non democratic nations, just because it is the only way you are able to abuse the rights of the numerical majority so that the numerical minority can have more rights, and you think this is acceptable. Well, it is not and you know it. Why else would you want the Turkish army to stay as a guarantor to baby sit you while you abuse others rights. It's the only way you can get away with such violations which also gives Turkey the excuse to stay in Cyprus as an guarantor (occupying) power.!
