You really need to get a grip on your understanding of the TC viewpoint towards a solution they to have red lines that they will give so try to understand those and accommodate them accordingly otherwise forget a solution.
A little correction for you. Turkey has never said she will choose the "trnc" over the EU. She said if push came to shove, she will choose Cyprus over the EU. The fact is she cannot have either one without an agreement from the RoC, and Turkey is in fact left in no-mans land and left with nothing but problems for herself. You didn't expect Turkey to come out and admit that, did you? Perhaps Turkey thinks the EU will trade Cyprus to Turkey for her non EU membership in the form of a pay off. Hardly, now that the Gas and Oil is about to come out of the ground on EU territory. Who knows what Turkey is thinking, but what ever it is, it is not happening, other than occupying northern part of Cyprus and ruling over the TCs lives by turning the north into an off-shore criminal infested illegal entity playground that she would never allow in her own country.
Has Turkey ever asked the International community for the "trnc" to be recognized.? I haven't heard it. Don't you think that is a major International let down for the "trnc"? The truth is, Turkey does not want what you want, which is a recognized north under a TC rule, which is why the stage is set for the settlers to take over the whole north in every way, including the political power since the RoC became a EU member in 2004. Turkey is just getting her "ducks in a row", so when the time comes for her to be serious with the EU membership, you will become expendable, because the settlers will do what Turkey will ask them to do, to help their motherland get into the EU, which means the TCs will be pushed aside to make room. If you think the Turks are going to lose the chance of being in the EU because for the sake of the "trnc", then you must live in a fantasy world. The fact that Turkey is not ready for the EU for the next 10-20 years, it does not mean she is choosing the "trnc" over the EU, even though she has never used the terms "trnc" over the EU. That's something you have conjured in your head, just because it gives you comfort to become arrogant so that you can tell us how tough the "trnc" is and to think you have any power against Turkey's wishes. When the time comes, Turkey will say jump, and you will say, "how high...... Sir".
The most important Red Lines you should ask for the TCs that can have secure future for them, is having a True Federation with Democracy, Human Rights, International Law and the EU Principles. Only these will allow the TCs to become equal citizens in Cyprus. Anything short of these, not only you will never get the "trnc" recognized, but you will also facilitate the destruction of the TC community that you claim you care about. The north will remain the crime infested illegal entity that it is, and the only ones that will reap the benefits, will be the Turks from Turkey. They will own the TCs, and when they want to trade the "trnc" for the EU, then it will be too late for the TCs. Just for the record, Turkey will never get Cyprus, not unless the GCs would agree to another AP type of a settlement plan, which then leaves the EU to be the only option left for Turkey to become an part of and to become a much desired EU player. In the meantime, the RoC goes about business as usual while the TCs are one a handout from Turkey. Some may say that Turkey is helping you, but others may say that Turkey is owning your asses. Time will tell.
