If the TCs are dependent on Turkey for financial support therefore giving Turkey a say in the internal affairs and influencing the current negotiations why does the south take measures to support or allow the north to stand on it own two feet financially therefore allowing them to move closer to the south and telling Turkey to butt out of their affairs?
Didn't the south offered to open up Famagusta under EU supervision to help the TCs to trade directly for the return of a decaying city of Verosa, which has no use to the north at all, and you turned it down. What gives.??
Thats long term, dont the GCs want the TA and the Turks out? Let see who has the balls sign an agreement giving the north 450million dollars a year and we will kick out the TA and the Turks.
So you are asking for a hand out and not the ability to learn how to support yourselves by building your own economy.!
In any case, all you would be doing is save Turkey $450 million and stick the RoC with $450 million, and you still won't be able to tell the TA to leave. But lets just say for the sake of argument that you got your wish, explain to me how you can make Turkey leave with the TA and the settlers if they don't want to leave. If you are very serious that you can get the job done, how would you do it.??
With financial backing which over time could be turned to self sufficiency behind us the first step we could take is to appeal to the international community that we no longer needed the TA and that the EU and UN should take steps to ensure their departure and provide security. Provide me with the financial backing and I will form a political party to take on this mission, do the GCs have the balls?
Perhaps you need to make a small investment in your future first before you can be taken seriously to do what you say you will do in order to pump any money into your hands by the RoC. Just like when you buy a house. If you put a down payment of certain percentage for that house, then the bank has enough confidence in you to lend you the rest of the money in the form of a mortgage to make the purchase. You are then expected to pay back the set amount each month while the bank holds the deeds to the house until it is all fully paid with your hard work.
You cannot expect the bank to give you all the money for the house without a down payment made by you and also give you the deeds to the house at the same time without you having made any investments in that house at all. What incentive would you have to make any investment at all, if the bank has already given you the total cost of the house up front in cash and the deeds too. In all honesty, you would think the bank was MAD to trust you that much, NO.!???
Same here. Take the small steps like cleaning the "graffiti mountain" first for some help from the RoC, then return Verosa back for some more help from the RoC, then return settlers back with more help from the RoC and allow some GCs back to their properties and get more help from the RoC and then return the TA back for much more help from the RoC. Within few years, you will have a healthy economy and a unified island with the "mortgage paid in full" and the house then becomes yours.!
