I'll take one of each, thank you.!

The "linguistic division" rather than ethnic, will, according to the newspaper, the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu. Under the proposal, "can not be installed on the Turkish side who do not know Turkish and Greek people who do not know Greek." An exception, however, those who are over 65 years, and Nicosia, where there "status will be similar to that of Brussels there are two official languages, Turkish and Greek.

And I propose that all Kurdish speakers in Turkey be given their own confederal state and no Turkish speakers be allowed to live in that state unless they are over 65. The exception being Ankara which will be a joint Kurdish/Turkish city and the new capital of the Kurdish/Turkish state. Let us call this the Belgian model for Turkey. Just as in Brussels there will be two official languages for this new state: Kurdish and Turkish.

I'm just curious to know if all the Carpetbaggers in the north who do not speak Turkish will be thrown out of the north on the butts in Eroglu's grand plan.?

Most of those idiots hardly know their own language of English, so good luck to them in learning Turkish.

Good point Kikapu. One wonders about the legal definition of a non-Turkish speaker which would excluse GCs from the north but not others. And whether such a definition would pass muster in a European judicial test.

In the European Union there can be no discrimination against non natives who are nationals of another member state. To give an example, Greece had an overt discrimination against the issue of hunting licenses to non Greek nationals. The EU Commission cornered the Greek ministry of agriculture and forced them to rephrase the rules so now licenses are issued to all EU nationals who pass the relevant test.

Eroglu might not know these arcane details, but he supposedly has advisers who should know the larger picture.

The problem with the "trnc" and Turkey is, Nikitas, they still think they can dictate racist policies for a settlement that may have been acceptable before the RoC became a EU member in 2004. Just because the UN might go for any type of a settlement (maybe), the EU won't. It is these new circumstances that they are yet to come to terms with.
