2. Whether you call it the RoC or the United Cyprus Federation doesn't really matter, what counts is fair representation for all communities that make up Cyprus' population.
3. UN resolutions talk about a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation based on political equality. Clinging to the idea of legalising the 'TRNC' - or two-states - is one of the reasons negotiations have been going nowhere. This has not happened for 37 years, there's no reason for it to happen anytime soon.
Totally agree the GCs have never wanted to share by supporting a BBf with political equality, their aim has always been a unitary GC state with TCs as just another minority, thats why for 38 years there has and never will a solution.
More BS from "I'm a partitionist at heart" clown.
In the USA, the great state of Utah is a "Mormon state", but it does not mean ONLY Mormon Americans can live there nor does it mean ONLY the Mormon Americans can be in the government of Utah, but since the majority of those living in Utah are Mormon Americans, eventhough they are in fact a Minority group in the USA, naturally, most political offices will be held by the Mormons in the state of Utah, and also makes Utah "Politically Equal" to all the other states in the US, which they send their 2 senators to the US senate, as equals. Just replace Utah with the north in a True Federation Cyprus, and you have what the UN, EU and the RoC backs. Only the fascists such as yourself and the likes of you in the north and Turkey does not back the above, because your aims is to partition, so when Denktash agreed to BBF, he made the mistake of not asking for BBC, as in Confederation. Too bad for the Fascists, because you are stuck with BBF with EU norms as of 2004. The alternative to BBF with EU norms, is going to be Unitary state with EU norms. Take your pick!
Dear Kikapu we have been debating for years and you knwo full well that we cannot go from square 1 to 50 on day 1. The USA is a matured democracy where they have evolved into one people Americans and are proud of it. While on my visit I asked people who looked like Mexican and Far East where are you from they ouwl proudly announce Im from the USA and that they are Americans. For us this is not the case and you cannot force this as the 2 sides have been divided far to long for this sort of response, we need transition periods guarantees checks and balances to go through the eolving stages necessary to become one people. Our problem is that the checks and balances we ask for which are vital in order to evolve you deny me, your denial only fuels my mistrust and makes me dig my heels in even further. You yourself claim that what we ask for is not necessary and that over time it will become redundent as the evolution will show that we will all be better off united than divided as we are today. But in order for us to take that first step we have to be encouraged and not forced, wehave to be given guarantees checks and balances that will over time become redundent but your approach has not yielded any results in over 52 years of negotiaitions, isnt it time you tried something new and allowed evolution to happen?
If the RoC was not a matured Democracy, they would not have been allowed to join the EU, unlike Turkey which is not a mature Democracy or even wants to be, hence the reason why it is not in the EU.
Just because you do not feel like a Cypriot as a numerical minority, it does not mean the numerical majority should lose being a Cypriot and be treated in a apartheid way by taking their rights away just because you do not trust protections of Human Rights, Democracy and International law which the EU will guarantee these rights to everyone. The one's who are not trusted in Cyprus are those who want to do away with these rights for all Cypriots and instead create permanent partition, is the reason why a settlement has not been reached, because you continue practicing these violations of Democracy, Human Rights and International laws for all Cypriots. It is time to stop blaming others why there hasn't been a settlement and start looking within, assuming you want to live under EU norms. People of Cyprus have lived together for 400 + years before, because there wasn't an issue of Enosis and Taksim until the 50's, and today, Enosis is no longer the issue, where as, Taksim is still the norm for people like you and Turkey, therefore the blame can be placed of no settlement squarely on the laps of people like you and Turkey. It is time to change with the times, or else you will get left behind.
