Unitary state with strict measures (to avoid extreme actions from any side) is the only solution.
That is the best thing you have written Klik. However, these strict measures are the problem. Lets say you can disarm (both sides) the extremists, but how will you be able to 'cleans' their minds? You find a way and I will support you 100%.
First I'll respond to the other discussion about Cypriot language and Greek DNA...
http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v17/ ... 8120a.htmlThe genetic contribution of Greek chromosomes to the Sicilian gene pool is estimated to be about 37%
In particular, the presence of a modal haplotype coming from the southern Balkan Peninsula and of its one-step derivates associated to E3b1a2-V13, supports a common genetic heritage between Sicilians and Greeks.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY & UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA RESEARCH ON ANCESTRAL DNA
Summary:
1) The DNA make-up of today's Greeks is 99.5% white. The study cliams that today's Greek has 99.5% the same DNA make-up as as the white Greeks of ancient times.
2) Contrary to beliefs by many in Turkey and certain Slavic nations of ex-Yugoslavia, Greek DNA has not been influenced, nor altered, by the mixture of Slavic or Turkish DNA, even though Ottomans ruled a large part of Greece for 400 years.
3) Out of a sample of 925 modern-day Greek DNA, only 0.4% exhibited non-white DNA.
4) To a large extenet, Greeks of the ancient time "transfered" their DNA to other parts of Europe through their conquests. The study showed that, today, Greek DNA is most similar to: a) Italian DNA, b) French DNA, c) Spanish DNA, d) Turkish DNA.
5) The DNA of Italians in modern day southern Italy is the closest match to the DNA of their Greek neighbors.
As for the languages.
First of all, there's ETEOCYPRIOT. Which means REAL CYPRIOT. The original habitants. Who were not massacred by the Mycaeneans, nor the Assyrians or Phoenicians who came here earlier and neither by the Egyptians who followed.
The Eteocypriots created an alphabet/syllabary of their own with the help of the Mycaeneans and there's evidence for that (search Cypriot Syllabary).
A traditional -ending of Eteocypriot was -ou. And we still use it today, plus we had a few towns that end with -ou(now -ous) eg Amathou, Morphou... plus we still say "korou"
ArcadoCypriot is the dialect, or idiom, we speak today. ArcadoCypriot is spoken in "proud" Pelopponisian towns, similar to Cretan pride. If you ask them why they don't speak modern Greek*, they will either tell you that it's the proper Greek language they speak or they might even punch you or in Crete they could have stabbed you a few years back
* As for modern Greek, it's a wrong language actually. The 'katharevousa' was the last actual Greek language. Modern Greek is a very recent reform because people didn't bother to figure out the accents
Modern Greek has too many foreign words, which wasn't the fact with 'katharevousa', which was something Korais had achieved with a group of people.
Anyhow, the Greek language, in whatever form, has been ever present. EteoCypriot was still used even during Alexander the Great's time. I think it was under the Romans that the language disappeared for good, in spoken language. Cyprus' Greek dialect was influenced by EteoCypriot.
As for the language not being the same, go to Larisa and try to understand what the fuck they are talking about
Now back to you denizaksulu...
I made a response on the 'solutions' forum on the thread on a unitary state, you can find it there.
The biggest complication is language. When you figure what language pleases both sides (it used to be Greek just fine for everyone i remind you), then you can create a unitary government. Of course all illegal settlers must leave before anything can be done.
