KiKapu you and Deniz are the only tcs that talk sense... no two states crap just like my tc friends in the north. i wish more tcs where like you guys

Can the GCs use their numbers to takes control of power?

A YES or NO will do.

Not so fast, VP.

The answer depends on what options you present the GCs with, in whether or not they want to be accommodating to allow the north state to remain majority TCs. If the overwhelming GC refugees land is returned to become part of the south state, then the answer is a "NO", but if you want to keep the overwhelming GCs land to become part of the north state, then the answer is a possible "YES". You would control the outcome based on how much GC land you want to keep. You cannot keep their land and then not expect them to try and get it back in anyway they can. By returning only 7-8% land back as per AP, you are not even returning the land of 50,000-60,000 GCs, which would then leave about 120,000 GCs land in the north, which they will have the right to move into under freedom of movement, even if they are all not able to return back to the same houses, but will be able to return back to the villages they once lived before. With 120,000 GCs already in the north state, it will be very easy to increase their numbers by more GCs moving to the north, just because they will have security through their numbers. If on the other hand the north state is reduced to 18%-20% and most TCs would live in the north, then only a very smal number of GCs would have their property in the north, less than 30,000 GCs. Even if they all would move to the north, which I doubt more than 5,000 moving, the TCs would maintain the overwhelming majority and still have a Democratic system.

I had also stated in my BBF thread, that if the TCs were to make good compromises on land to be returned back to the GCs where the overwhelming majority of the GC land is returned, then the TCs can ask for derogation from the EU and the GCs to only allow those GCs who still have land in the north state to become the "Grandfathered-in Population" with all their Democratic rights protected. What that would mean is that, lets just say 30,000 GCs still has property in the north state, that those 30,000 GCs would then have the right to be in the north state, whether they actually live in the north state or not. They would become the "Grandfathered-in Population" of the north, against the population of the TCs at around 70,000-80,000 and 50,000 allowed settlers to total around 140,000-150,000 TCs plus more TCs coming from abroad to settle in the north as time goes by, which would push the north's TC population to a potential 200,000. The derogation would be, that the number of potential GCs wanting to live in the north state can grow ONLY at the same rate as the growth of the TC population in the north (Cypriot citizens only). If the TC population grows at 2% per year, then the north's potential maximum GC population can only grow at 2% also, based on the "Grandfathered in Population" numbers, which is 30,000, allowing growth rate of about 600 more GCs to be added to that 30,000 number to become 30,600 for that year whether or not they are actually living in the north. This new number, 30,600 will then become the next "Grandfathered-in Population" for that year. The smaller the north state is with as little GCs properties as possible, the smaller the "Grandfathered-in Population" number will be.

These are the option you need to decide on. I don't believe you will get that many GCs living in the north however, therefore the above derogation would be only academic and redundant and may never be used, but it will secure the TCs keeping the north majority TCs as well as keeping the upper house seats in the TCs hand in a Democratic way, agreed to by all sides.! If you want the same derogation to apply by keeping the north state to be around 30%,then the GCs may not be so accommodating and will tell you "NO". Why would they let you keep their land in the north state when they want to be in the south state. Even if they said yes, then the "Grandfathered-in Population" would start from around 120,000 GCs with an increase of 2,400 per year at 2% vs. the population of the TCs in the north at around 150,000, assuming all the TCs would move to the north state. As you can see from the numbers, you will create a lot of problems for yourselves in trying to keep the north a majority TC and keeping the upper house in the hands of the TCs. There is no free lunch, VP. You choose, but be prepared to live with the consequences when things start going wrong for you in the north politically if you want to keep most of the GC land to remain in the north state.

But there is a much easier way to do away with all these problems, and that is to do away with ethnic political parties altogether in Cyprus and have ONLY Political Parties based on Political ideology. How can anyone then have any concerns who lives where and how many, since all the political parties would include people from all ethnicity. That is the way how civilized countries have done it in a multi ethnic places, like Switzerland for example, as well as all the multicultural societies across the Democratic West.

True, that is how it is in civilised countries. Clearly not something Cyprus can practise because not only they are uncivlised but they are all village donkeys.

Is there something genetically wrong with you that you cannot be a civilized person so to have civilized country.???

If you don't want move forward to have a civilized country and want to remain amongst the "village idiots" that you have mentioned above, we can also accommodate that too.....in a zoo.!

Most of Cyprus’ original village idiots (TC or GC) had died of old age, but then Denktash brought it another 200,000 odd to replenish the supply so nobody wants to unite with you anymore!

The derogation would be, that the number of potential GCs wanting to live in the north state can grow ONLY at the same rate as the growth of the TC population in the north (Cypriot citizens only). If the TC population grows at 2% per year, then the north's potential maximum GC population can only grow at 2% also, based on the "Grandfathered in Population" numbers, which is 30,000, allowing growth rate of about 600 more GCs to be added to that 30,000 number to become 30,600 for that year whether or not they are actually living in the north. This new number, 30,600 will then become the next "Grandfathered-in Population" for that year. The smaller the north state is with as little GCs properties as possible, the smaller the "Grandfathered-in Population" number will be.

These are the option you need to decide on. I don't believe you will get that many GCs living in the north however, therefore the above derogation would be only academic and redundant and may never be used, but it will secure the TCs keeping the north majority TCs as well as keeping the upper house seats in the TCs hand in a Democratic way, agreed to by all sides.! If you want the same derogation to apply by keeping the north state to be around 30%,then the GCs may not be so accommodating and will tell you "NO". Why would they let you keep their land in the north state when they want to be in the south state. Even if they said yes, then the "Grandfathered-in Population" would start from around 120,000 GCs with an increase of 2,400 per year at 2% vs. the population of the TCs in the north at around 150,000, assuming all the TCs would move to the north state. As you can see from the numbers, you will create a lot of problems for yourselves in trying to keep the north a majority TC and keeping the upper house in the hands of the TCs. There is no free lunch, VP. You choose, but be prepared to live with the consequences when things start going wrong for you in the north politically if you want to keep most of the GC land to remain in the north state.

But there is a much easier way to do away with all these problems, and that is to do away with ethnic political parties altogether in Cyprus and have ONLY Political Parties based on Political ideology. How can anyone then have any concerns who lives where and how many, since all the political parties would include people from all ethnicity. That is the way how civilized countries have done it in a multi ethnic places, like Switzerland for example, as well as all the multicultural societies across the Democratic West.

True, that is how it is in civilised countries. Clearly not something Cyprus can practise because not only they are uncivlised but they are all village donkeys.

Is there something genetically wrong with you that you cannot be a civilized person so to have civilized country.???

Idiot, you say "civilised country" and then attack me? Cyprus stinks of village idiots from head to toe. What do you know about Cyprus or our problems?

What do you think makes a country to be civilized, the birds.???

If you don't want move forward to have a civilized country and want to remain amongst the "village idiots" that you have mentioned above, we can also accommodate that too.....in a zoo.!

Whos we? who are you? How old are you? How long have yo ben away from Cyprus? How often do you visit Cyprus?

I'm a Cypriot and a TC. That's all you need to know or care about. If you are not capable of or you do not have any constructive arguments to make about my above post, then perhaps it is best that you go onto another topic that is more suitable for you.!

You refuse to answer very simple questions. Youre full of hot air. I was refugee 3 times, I lost 7 members of my family and I served my country for 6 years in the army. Be a man and tell me how much connecion you have to Cyprus. You are like a bad rash that never go away, you say something on every topic and those are all for your Greek friends and yet you know nothing about your own people how they suufered in the handsof these Turk hating bastards. You havnet shown one little sympathy to us and you expect me to take you seriosly? You, my enemy within, can go and fuck yourself.

Kikapu lets try and understand why you do not give clear concise answers and try to bury facts and dangers in a barrage of unnecessary words;

The answer depends on what options you present the GCs with, in whether or not they want to be accommodating to allow the north state to remain majority TCs. If the overwhelming GC refugees land is returned to become part of the south state, then the answer is a "NO", but if you want to keep the overwhelming GCs land to become part of the north state, then the answer is a possible "YES". You would control the outcome based on how much GC land you want to keep. You cannot keep their land and then not expect them to try and get it back in anyway they can. By returning only 7-8% land back as per AP, you are not even returning the land of 50,000-60,000 GCs, which would then leave about 120,000 GCs land in the north, which they will have the right to move into under freedom of movement, even if they are all not able to return back to the same houses, but will be able to return back to the villages they once lived before. With 120,000 GCs already in the north state, it will be very easy to increase their numbers by more GCs moving to the north, just because they will have security through their numbers. If on the other hand the north state is reduced to 18%-20% and most TCs would live in the north, then only a very smal number of GCs would have their property in the north, less than 30,000 GCs. Even if they all would move to the north, which I doubt more than 5,000 moving, the TCs would maintain the overwhelming majority and still have a Democratic system.


I had also stated in my BBF thread, that if the TCs were to make good compromises on land to be returned back to the GCs where the overwhelming majority of the GC land is returned, then the TCs can ask for derogation from the EU and the GCs to only allow those GCs who still have land in the north state to become the "Grandfathered-in Population" with all their Democratic rights protected. What that would mean is that, lets just say 30,000 GCs still has property in the north state, that those 30,000 GCs would then have the right to be in the north state, whether they actually live in the north state or not. They would become the "Grandfathered-in Population" of the north, against the population of the TCs at around 70,000-80,000 and 50,000 allowed settlers to total around 140,000-150,000 TCs plus more TCs coming from abroad to settle in the north as time goes by, which would push the north's TC population to a potential 200,000. The derogation would be, that the number of potential GCs wanting to live in the north state can grow ONLY at the same rate as the growth of the TC population in the north (Cypriot citizens only). If the TC population grows at 2% per year, then the north's potential maximum GC population can only grow at 2% also, based on the "Grandfathered in Population" numbers, which is 30,000, allowing growth rate of about 600 more GCs to be added to that 30,000 number to become 30,600 for that year whether or not they are actually living in the north. This new number, 30,600 will then become the next "Grandfathered-in Population" for that year. The smaller the north state is with as little GCs properties as possible, the smaller the "Grandfathered-in Population" number will be.

So what you are claiming is that if we give enough land back the GCs cannot take power?

Am I right?

You also state that if we make the GCs happy by giving enough land, reducing us down to 18% then we may have the right to ask for derogation's to try and maintain a balance where power cannot be taken away. So in essence you have shot yourself in the foot, this is a clear danger which you try to camouflage by a ton of crap (verbal diarrhoea) in the hope that TCs are stupid enough to swallow the fact that you are yet again trying to sell us out.

These are the option you need to decide on. I don't believe you will get that many GCs living in the north however, therefore the above derogation would be only academic and redundant and may never be used, but it will secure the TCs keeping the north majority TCs as well as keeping the upper house seats in the TCs hand in a Democratic way, agreed to by all sides.!

As you can see from the numbers, you will create a lot of problems for yourselves in trying to keep the north a majority TC and keeping the upper house in the hands of the TCs. There is no free lunch, VP. You choose, but be prepared to live with the consequences when things start going wrong for you in the north politically if you want to keep most of the GC land to remain in the north state.

Whats makes you think that not many GCs will return to the TCs state if we reduce to 18% and the opposite if we are 25% and how will you get all TCs to sell up and move into 18%?. Your thought process is full of holes whereby problems will occur and within a short period of time power will be in the hands of the GCs and we TCs will be relegated to minority status just as the Gcs envisaged all along, you are a total sell out and should never be trusted to produce anything that would protect out rights if we were to unite.

If we can ask for derogation's at 18% the same should also be the case for 25% or 29%...this should not be at the whim of the GCs, the return of any land is a compromise on our behalf as this is something we do not have to do if we do not want a solution, this is what you say nearly everyday.

But there is a much easier way to do away with all these problems, and that is to do away with ethnic political parties altogether in Cyprus and have ONLY Political Parties based on Political ideology. How can anyone then have any concerns who lives where and how many, since all the political parties would include people from all ethnicity.

Pure utopia for Cypriots from both sides of the divide, did you hear about the 2 TC singers who were stabbed and beaten up in the south? We are not ready for such a step with a just a few of these unfortunate mistakes and being forced into a unitary state without the possibility of retreating to a safe haven there would have been a counter attack today and even more people will be hurt and killed. A BBF with political equality of the 2 states is about as good as it can be at this stage, there is no trust and therefore no desire to unite. People like you only make matters worse by trying to sell us short and push us into a trap whereby with a short period of time the GCs will take control of the whole island and we will be a minority with no say in our own country.

lovernomore he claims to be a TC, he has only been to the GC south once since 1974 and is to scared to visit the TRNC. Not once has he supported anything remote in favor of the TCs and always fights the GC corner harder than the GCs themselves they just sit back and egg him on for doing just a great job. He peddles a flawed plan which will easily give the GCs the upper hand within a very short period of time. For us he is not only a traitor but a danger to TCs and their rights, he has no problem rubbishing us to death and promoting GC propaganda as if Papashitdolopolos has yet again come back from the dead to haunt us TCs.
