It is just these underhand tactics that confirm that GCs will use every means to get back into the north so the secret plan to buy up the north is just another possiblity that GCs will exploit to establish there domination over TCs.
this is just politics
dont confuse the people with the politicians
so long there is no solution pap will fight to get sth from turkey ...usually unsucesfully.... and talat will demand..i dont know liifting the embargos or recognition...at the time unsuccesfully as well
and this where we agreed that they should stop the name calling and sit there assses on the negotiating table
These are the just two of the areas where TCs are sensative and any suggestion of change is viewed as being very suspicious that GCs want abolish.
everything is sensitive on the cyprus problem.
lets take the example of the guarantor rights
for you it has saved you from gcs extremists
for the gcs it kicked them out of their houses
it is a sensitive matter for both
both are understandable
and the same way u need savety valves (which is perfectly understandable) u have also to try and understand that the gcs want also safety valves that this will not happen again. bc u see the turkish army didnot came to punish the EOKA B members. it didnt say u r innocent dont leave. if it did i would also support it. bc that is what i hear from the gcs. r u ready to give them these rights? how do u know it wont happen again? and u dont get that from extremists or nationalists but for farmers who never cared about politics and had to leave.
its the same way for the massacres that took place in 1963 and later, which were also blind. it was not just killing tc extremists. actually it was killing everyone else other than tc extremists.
and as u see most of the people that suffered (gc and tc) were innocent.
the only problem is...as for many other points in the cyprus problem, is that they are sensitive and that both need safety valves. and considering our past asking for those is perfectly understandable. but considering our future... are good excuses and the best recipee for no-solution
and dont think, not even for a second, that the fact that i personally got to accept the guarantor rights of turkey is just bc there is no other choise.
it is true, that there is no other choise
but believe me, if i thought for a minute that the turkish army would invade/save again, or that we (gcs and tcs) will be so stupid as enganging once again in aggresive actions against each other so as to cause turkish intervention...then believe me, i would support u in partition.
it is not just the absence of another choise, it is just an optimistic way of viewing the future.
not to say that especially for this one the savey valves as u call them, i consider them stupid from both sides.
understandable... but still stupid
bc, even if we would take the extreme scenario were there is an acceptable solution giving turkey no legal right to intervene....and then follows an attempt from the gcs to ethnicly cleanse the island.
do u think that turkey will hesitate just for a second in coming to rescue the tcs? or the illegality of the action will stop the turkish army?
thats why for me it doesnt really matter if turkey keeps those rights or not. bc if the tcs are in danger turkey will come whether it has those rights or not. u see i dont tend to trust legality that much.
so conlcuding... the matter is sensitive and stupid at the same time
the way i see it is that any kind of solution that would work depends on us and not on any kind of law.
(just like what i say for pap... to legalisticall way of viewing the problem, although understandable... means: no-solution)
