Okay, you reckon that Denktash lost and TMT lost but what I see in Cyprus is the majority of GC's accepting things as they are or preferring partition to the only feasible solution of BBF. This is exactly what Denktash wanted and we are about to offer this to him posthumously. Kurupettos, with a brain of the size of an underfed pea, thinks we can change the balance of power in the area and let Turkey have it. Perhaps he thinks the Israelis will do the fighting for us for this thought is stirring the sick imagination of these people who are already dreaming of entering Ankara for real. Stupidity has no limits and these days you can advertise your stupidity in the whole wide world via the internet.
There is no doubt that in 1974 Denktash got one step away from what he wanted: Cyprus problem "solved" with an invasion, all been left to be some monetary compensations and recognition of 2 separate states. Ever since what he wanted went
a)One step back because of the isolation of the Kibrislis
b)another step back because of non recognition of the TrashNCan he declared in 1983
c)another step away when the Kibrislis revolted and he was forced to open the gates
d)another step away with Cyprus entering the EU in it's whole, and the occupied recognized as EU soil.
I really don't see Denktash achieving anything himself other than misery for his own people.
His best chance would be to accept BBF when Makarios proposed it to him which would then lead to some kind of extended autonomy for the Kibrislis.
You are right that today the majority of Kypreoi reject the BBF. It will turn into vast majority after the gas comes out.
