So boomer if your laws and consitution say we are one then surely we are entitled to a share?

of course you are...you need to become a citizen of the RoC...

funds go to the government and government spends on the whole of the population....simple really...

but since you joined the fray, tell us, should the tcs in the north have claim to any revenue on gas?...after all you are telling everyone you are your own country and gas found far away from your domain?...

My personal opinion is no the TRNC should not claim anything but if you say "RoC" citizens which includes TCs should benefit then your government should take measures that would also benefit TCs.

The ROC has promised that the gas revenues will benefit all Cypriots. For TCs this means after a solution is found they will also benefit from the hydrocarbon fund that will be established. Without a solution the TCs will lose out. Think of it as an incentive.

Sure, after they have subtracted all the expenses and the medical and pension payments and the free lessons and the road tax duties, hell just about everything. In fact we should be send them a god damn bill for all these illegal stupid payments that our spineless 'leaders' are making to the occupation regime

I dont think of it that way, as we are a separate country we should not benefit directly as we will not give you any benefit from our water supply same principle but if the south decides to give buckets full of money to all its citizens (just an extreme example) then TCs also being citizens should also benefit.

There is no such thing.

You gave up any rights the moment you sided with the invader and occupation regime. So you can stick that old chestnut up Yfucks arse.

Turkey is still looking for her war victory some 40 years later but a gas pipeline going from Cyprus to Turkey could potentially be the bridge that Turkey can use to withdraw from the island and save her face on.

The problem today is Turkey's occupation of the Northern third of Cyprus and her general abuse. For the TC's, there is no difference whether they live within Turkeys internationally recognized borders or in northern Cyprus, it is one in the same. It sounds like they are one in the same and this is what they would have preferred for the past 40 odd years, to live in and with the protection of Turks in Turkey. 50 miles of ocean to separate the two is the best solution to Cyprus's problem. Turkey can give the TC's their 'republic' in south Mersin and they can control the gas tap at the other end of the pipeline, inside Turkey's internationally recognized borders. Then whatever gas the Republic of Cyprus sells, Turkey can give the Turkish Cypriots their cut when she comes to resell it. If Cyprus wants water from Turkey, she will pay for whatever will be consumed.

Such a move could potentially mean that Turkey takes all Cypriot and Israeli gas as a partner carrier to EU markets and can stop trawling illegally for her so called share in Cyprus EEZ. This way, everyone's happy many other obstacles have been overcome (including some of those blocked chapters in Turkeys EU accession) and the cost of reunification can be significantly reduced in the process. For Turkey, she has gained an additional means to compensate Cyprus and create further economic growth for herself and the greater region.
