I assure you I am a new poster. I began reading on here when I was in North and South Cyprus last week. I am posting this week for the first time. I've always been interested in the history of Cyprus, but on this visit I began reading again as my interest was sparked by all the exploring we did. We visited some of the places where GC's and TC's still reside together, either side by side or in close proximity. We talked to many of the elders ...
The TC's of course do not come to any harm, just as the GC's do not while visiting the opposite sides of the island. There is still a huge armed military presence and UN corps all over the place. While the South is campaigning on the International stage for resolution, and the North up until recently were hoping for EU membership, it would NOT be good PR for either side!
I think the TC's would not bode well over the passage of time within a reconciliation of Cyprus. They ask for 50% representation in Parliament as a means of ensuring they are protected. They cannot trust after what Makarios did to them the last time.
It WOULD be disproportionate, I agree. Do you have another way though?
