The UN/EU would be seen as 'interfering' thus creating an even more hardline reaction from Turkey and its proxies. The best thing the EU could and should have done was and is to use econmoic leverage aganist Turkey. what other leverage have we got left?
TC's cannot 'break away' we simply dont have the means to do that unless a genuine pan cypriot movement developed. However, for that to happen I believe the GC;s need to call Turkeys Bluff and 'recognize or quasi recognize' the North.
My friend the whole thing starts from the point whether Eroglu represents the real Kibrislis or not. It is very easy to prove that Eroglu does not represent you. All you have to do is to mobilize and ask for help to prove it.This help can come from anywhere the Kibrislis want, first preference for me would be the UN, second the EU 3rd the RoC, or better all of them together. Once you PROVE this point, then there will be an avalanche of developments.
a)at the same time you prove that the will of the real Kibrislis has been eroded by the settlers who impose on you "leaders" that don't want a solution and don't represent you.
b)You prove that the presence of settlers and their given "citizenship" is a real burden in finding a solution
c)You get the backup of the UN, EU etc to either remove Eroglu or form a Provisional Government.
d)You limit the control of Turkey to only providing you security until a solution is found.Contrary to what happens now that Turkey does whatever she likes with your fates.
I am not saying the solution will come easy even after that.But at least the major obstacles in finding one will be gone.
After all what is the alternative? Just sit there, do nothing of essence other than demonstrating in the streets and be beaten? I think you said it yourself, that you participated in so many demonstrations yet nothing happens and your voices get slimmer and slimmer. If the Kibrislis continue like that then VP's favorable expectation to be assimilated with the mainland Turks is a matter of a few years away, I say maximum 15.
I wish the Kypreos and the RoC could help you, but unfortunately we are also weak. the Kibrislis must take their fate in their OWN HANDS and it's upto them to succeed or not. And who knows if you get successful the RoC might be able to do something about helping you stand financially on your own feet, it all depends how the new situation will be.
We have all be caught in a spiders web that we know exactly what will happen in the end.Unless we do something RADICAL then we are finished.
