Firstly if the GCs backed by the EU commit to support the norths economy until it can develop to a stage where this support is no longer required. Once this has been establish a new political party would be formed to gather support and get itself elected to start the process of getting Turkey to depart no longer will she be able to blackmail by threatening to stop funding the north therefore her influence will diminish couple this with international pressure Turkey will have to move out.
The TCs also have to commit to returning Maras and settlers so that GCs feel confident to provide the initial support necessary to make this viable. Other economic measures should also be taken to lessen the financial burden on the south but everone has to think long term and consider the benefits.
As I've said to you already, you need to make that initial investment/movement yourself, like the "down payment for a house" if you want the RoC to help you. You will need to start the movement in wanting Turkey to go back home with her troops and settlers. If some money is required to get that movement going is one thing, that the RoC or the EU can fund, but to take over the financial burden the occupying power is required to do, will not work. There is no way that the RoC is going to pay to support a secessionist regime in the north, since most of this money will go to the "trnc" to pay it's under worked and overpaid workers. South Korea has been sending aid to the north for a long time, and all they got in return is being shelled by the north. Turkey controls the north, therefore there is nothing you can do to escape her hold on you, no matter how much money is given to you by the south. Turkey will just take that money from you, calming is the money you owe her for the last 36 years she has been supporting you. Turkey did make it clear to you, did she not, that all the money you receive from her is a LOAN and not a GIFT. You are then back to square one, and the RoC will not get anything for her money. All they have become is being a "sugar-daddy" to pay off your loans from Turkey to Turkey for the next 36 years and longer, and you will be in no better place economically, because you still won't be able to produce very much to sell to anyone.
You have already lost your voting power in the north to the settlers for that 13th pay all those years, so there is no way you can form any political party to overcome their vote. In a word, you are "screwed". The "trnc parliament" is still mostly TCs at the moment, so why don't they pass a bill to say they will no longer want Turkey in the north and that they want to work with the RoC to establish a working and unifying relationship and start the ball rolling, after they have agreed with the RoC with secret talks beforehand. They can demand to receive all their food being imported from the RoC and not Turkey, therefore, all the money the RoC would pump into the north will find itself back to the RoC when the north pays for the imports. Just like how it is done now with Turkey. Everything Turkey pays the "trnc" ends up going back to Turkey and more, in the form of paying for the imports from Turkey.
If you want to achieve what you want to achieve, if you are serious that is, is for the TCs to move to the south and start a political movement there to oppose Turkey and the settlers from the safety being in the RoC and EU territory. You can form your opposing to Turkey with a political party in the RoC and then speak out against Turkey. If you dare to do it in the north, you will be crushed, and not so much by Turkey, but by all the NeoPartitionist fascists in the north. If they should fail, then Turkey will do it for sure. Your only hope to improve the lives of the TCs and generating a good economy is when Turkey leaves Cyprus and that the whole country of Cyprus works as one country. Anything short of that, is a waste of time to talk about it. Start the movement first, get results, and the money will come one way or other.! If the RoC starts paying the bills in the north unilaterally and prematurely, it will be seen that the RoC not only accepts the illegal north state, but is also willing to bankroll it, in their hopes that the TCs will get rid of Turkey. The RoC has better chance by putting that money on number "31" at a roulette table each month at a casino in the north. There would be better chance of getting something back for risking all that money for nothing in the north at the moment with it's present condition.!
