No, why would it be when the union under GC terms means our capitulation?
I never said anything about capitulation. A compromise has to be reached; a just and fair one which benefits all Cypriots in the long run. If this can't be achieved today (and I'm not saying it definitely can't), then we can hope for tomorrow. But how could you possibly hope to get the GCs to agree to permanent partition when a fair compromise is so difficult to reach? Don't forget that agreeing to permanent partition would mean the capitulation of the GCs... and the TCs - everyone loses and few gain anything.
I understand your position, viewpoint. We have been banging our heads against brick walls for a long time, but I for one will not give up hope. While some hope that waiting it out will eventually lead to victory for their "side," I believe that there will eventually be a generation with the courage and humility to compromise and end the status quo.
