The opening of Famagusta under EU/UN supervision would give the TCs some financial support.
Why are you guys not pushing for it?
Not enough cant you see that without financial backing the TCs are bound to do what Turkey says, free them from these shackles and secure what you feel necessary and the whole impasse will be resolved. You have to have the balls to do this and I think the GCs are clearly lacking the desire or the vision to work with the TCs to move forward.
Okay, but would you agree that such a move would be in the right direction to foster that vision to work together to move forward?
Definitely 100%.
Great, I too agree that the opening of Famagusta port would be one of the biggest leaps to foster that vision.
We would be working together, prospering together and who knows what this would lead to.
This would definitely be a development that would follow the agreement financially support the TCs giving them the freedom to tell Turkey to not interfere in their affairs and therefore be more accommodating to Gc demands in taking measure jointly to resolve matters.
It does seem the wrong way round for doing things to me.
If the TCs were to push for this bilateral agreement on Famagusta with the GCs, it would show a sincere commitment on their part for removing Turkey from our affairs.
This would be far more easier, in my view, than Turkey even allowing the TCs to accept financial help from the RoC.
Its also worth remembering that post solution, the EU will expend considerable resources in developing the north, so this agreement you seek already exists.
