I don't mind if you (and all TCs) stay, provided you hand back the property you stole.
I don't even mind if you want to live in Cyprus on your own, so long as the land you take is equal to the one you OWN.
If what you want is to stay in Cyprus on a size of land that is two or three times the land you own, then what you are really asking for is to STEAL the property of your compatriots.
This will NEVER happen - continue demanding this and you will stay isolated, unrecognised and illegal as common thieves and criminals should be (and of course well away from the EU - which goes for you and your big mama bitch THIEF).
I agree all refugees should get some closure on their private properties and I thank you for seeing we TCs to have rights to Cyprus but what you have to grasp is that land distribution is not based on the amount of private land ownership or population but the sharing of sovereignty and the 1960s constitution gives the TCs a 30% right that's why in successive negotiations a figure in this area has been agreed but again for me it is open to negotiation and I as a TC would consider reducing closer to 20/22% so that as many refugees can have their homes back and the TRNC can be recognized and kept out of the EU.
The 30% figure had to do with other things, not property. This gave increased rights to the 18% minority in order to protect it - it's a governance issue that you also find in company law etc. I agree that this would be appropriate if we were discussing a unitary state, but not a new system with separate governance etc. GCs agreed to discuss on this basis on assumption that private properties within this 30% would be returned to GC owners. This is clearly not going to happen, as Turkey rejects it, hence the deadlock.
That said, I think your proposal is in the right direction and probably the only realistic way of finding a solution acceptable by a majority at referendum on both sides.
It may be that this will take the form of a confederation or BBF with even more sovereignty assigned to the sides than in the AP (so that both sides can feel comfortable that they will never be flooded with Turkish settlers) - perhaps with TC area hitting 23-24% in such a case.
