One point I agree with you on is that negotiations will not produce a solution and we will each continue on as we are fighting our own corner, as for your swing of power ideology you should also take into consideration that it could also swing further the other way.
VP, you are forgetting one very important point is all of this. It is not YOU (the TCs) we have to convince but your invader Turkey. The TCs are insignificant. We are not negotiating with YOU, we are negotiating with a terrorist state and as most civilised countries know you should not negotiate with terrorists.
To answer one of Bananas point, the reason the international community, UN/UK/US and others have not jumped on the HR, Int Law violations bandwagon in support of us, is because much of this mess is of their own making and they want it this way. They want to control Cyprus. The only ammunition that the RoC has now is being a member of the EU and this has stuffed the UK/US/Turkey from getting away with more murder.
Since the announcement of Hydrocarbons, did you notice the tune change??? Un until then it was Turkey this, Turkey that, now we have a differnt rytheme.
Oh yes my dear partitionists (VP, Banana, Birkturk et al), the tide has surely changed. The political landscape is being reshaped as we speak, terrorist states have no place in the EU and the sooner they see this and cut her (turkey) loose the better for all.
1. Turkey out of Cyprus
2. Settlers out of Cyprus (all of them)
3. Full return of refugee properties on both sides.
Then we can negotiate a deal with the TCs. Enough water has passed under the bridge, we can still do it, but that depends on Turkey because as I said the TCs are nothing.
