You have answered my question, Bananiot. Now, will the TCs do the same also or will they remain silent and become insignificant by the settlers ? The RoC would still have a trump card to play over Turkey, even after the settlers make the TCs become insignificant, and that is, they will still be able negotiate with Turkey over Turkey's EU membership in exchange for the return of RoC's and EU's territory back, which Turkey will be in a position to do as she wishes through the settlers, with or without the TCs objections for them being pushed aside. These coming days are going to be
make or break for the TCs future in Cyprus as equal citizens under a BBF Federation system, for them to cut a deal with the GCs, or as you have stated, the TCs will not have any clout left in the future.
