What must the protesting Arabs think of the TCs demands, I can only imagine.!
Can this be really be happening or are we in the "Twilight Zone".??
So its only been 2 years? thanks for revealing the traps they have set us in the past and luckily enough we have avoided. Minority rights in a GC state is not what we want, if this is your version of "democracy" you can stick it where the sun don't shine.
There's only one kind of democracy in the EU and the west. It is not mine, but I'll take it over all the non democratic and Human Rights violations you crave over. Minority/Majority is only for those with a chip on their shoulders. It means absolutely nothing in the real world to the overwhelming majority of the population as long as everyone has equal rights. The easiest way to abolish such majority/minority terms on ethnicity, is to make 3 main political parties, Democrats, Republicans and Independents, or call them what ever you like, makes no difference, and let anyone join which ever political party they want based on their political ideology. Presto, you have done away with all your minority/majority concerns on ethnic level, because now, the majority and the majority are only the political parties and not the citizens. !:idea:
But I forgot, you don't want any solution....EVER.!
You said the last 2 years, what were they offering before that?What if you do not trust the majority to have your best interests at heart due to the past and for that reason you would prefer to have a BBF so that both sides can administer their own states?
Once again you are showing us your lack of fully comprehending the written English language. I'm just using this present talks as an example which I stated
"present unification talks" versus what is going on in the Arab world with the demonstration for Democracy in the last 2-3 weeks. I didn't want to go back 50 years just not to embarrass the TCs more for them not wanting Democracy for all that time, but you wanted to expose their refusal of Democracy for the last 50 years, then so be it..
AP gave you your state, and your plans were to be a racists state by violating the GCs Democratic and Human Rights and allowing Turkey to control it outright by making as many Turks as Cypriot citizens as it wanted. That's what happens when you don't agree to a Democratic and Human Rights kind of a settlement.
Basically, you cannot be trusted with "your" state, because in a BBF, both states will belong to all Cypriots, just like all 50 states in the USA belong to all Americans and anyone can live and work anywhere they wish and also vote and run for office within that state. That's what Democratic BBF is and not the racist Annan Plan you crave about, even after it's 7 years of being "Dead & Buried". For someone such as yourself who does not want a solution EVER in Cyprus, says a lot as to what the Annan Plan was all about that you loved so much and voted for, which was no solution for Cyprus, EVER.!
As I've stated, with 3 main political parties, you don't need to trust the majority ethnic group. Anyone can belong to which ever part they want to join based on their political ideology. There can be smaller parties too of course, just so that there's one for people like yourself, which no doubt will be the "National Front Party" (Racist Nazi Party). You being from the UK, you must remember the National Front.
I'm telling you, the best possible deal you are ever going to get is something what I proposed in my BBF plan, if you are lucky and accept while Turkey is occupying the north. If and when that situation changes, you will get far less than what I have in my BBF. Arabs are hungry for Democracy and Human Rights who are willing to die for it, and all you are asking for, are Democratic and Human Rights violations (on the GCs) for a settlement.!
