...vp, anyone with a brain can recognise that a Unitary State, that is a Nation-State, is much easier to run and more economic. unfortunately for Cypriots, the overwhelming majority being Greeks, they do not have the luxury (if you will) of this choice because there is a 90 million strong population just off its coast which toward them ignores any sense of Human dignity, while they plunder anything which "they" deem not Turkish enough. i recognise the existence of ethnographies, i respect that this diversity is important too, to all Mankind, and i offer the opportunity to these thinking people an alternative to what is categorically right, at least, an alternative which allows for their Free Expresson as Persons, and as Individuals, in a world where there is mobility.
...Bicommunal, is "your" choice, for a "Greek", it is already a compromise`. i live in Canada, being a Bicommunal Country, i see the value in this thinking, i created my manifesto based on my conversation with you, relatively speaking, not that long ago, the first person i ever met on a Forum about Cyprus, and with Dhavlos, and Kifeas, to express their thoughts, with others, this proposal, regarding a map i saw in the newspaper back in `74; Cyprus: a Green Line still there, but the island spotted (apparently from Ecevit). it is the result of a lifetime, pretty well, following the Problem, it is an application of my studies as a Political-Economist, it is an objective approach to defining words like enclave, and Bizonal as well, as a Social-Scientist, it does not matter what your so called GCs think because the Republic itself has already commited itsef to a Cypriot State, rather than a Greek State and a Turkish State. it does on the other hand, matter what you consider a step forward, (given the importance of this issue for so many other Peoples who will consider the value of our choices, not as Turks and Greeks but as Citizens of the World). if you, you, were to choose new thinking, this is a big step, a great step beyond what endlessly is a debate about a mythic reality. from you, i feel others (and the so called TCs/GCs) may appreciate that their security may not be completely assured in any case, however as a People amongst other People, they are equals.
...and what is wrong with a Greek Constituency if there are other Constituencies, within a Cypriot State?
