You are not looking at the whole picture Pyrpolyser. 1974 was just one phase of the Cyprus issue. Prior to that Denktash accepted the 13 points of Makarios with only minor concessions from our side but then it was Makarios who rejected. You see, in this plantation, the side which feels stronger is never satisfied and in the early 70's we had the TC's on the run, isolated and forgotten in the enclaves, where they were "boiling in their oil" as one prominent super patriot said at the time.

What was the minor concession? Turkish troops to remain?

Not a single Turkish soldier would have remained. The TC's would just elect their own local council members. Since you are interested about the TA remaining, I remind you that in 2004 we voted for the TA to stay for ever in Cyprus and this led Denktash to say: I thank God the GC's said NO!

Only a complete moron would make and believe such a statement. You are living in dream land.
