**2**Do you really think the GC want unification when they have the recognized country without TCs? they have what they want and are milking it for all its worth without having to share a thing. **3**So all they have to been seen doing is want a solution for the stupid refugees who have been promised a return to pre 1974. **4**You also forget who rejected the last attempt a reunification this has been ingrained in everyone's minds throughout the world.
One thing we do agree on is that nothing will change as neither side is clever enough or has the desire for unification.
**1** That is a widespread fallacy among the Kibrislis. The fact that it came after the Enosis dream doesn’t mean it was born out of it! The FACT is the Kibrislis dreaded of the day the British would leave, because at best they would ene up a simple minority. So Enosis or not, independent state or not, Taksim seemed the only way out for them. How do you think we ended up to the 1960 agreements with so many super inflated rights for a class of people that were only 18% of the population?! Is it because the Kibrislis ever wanted an independent Unitary state?
**2** The Kypreoi still want a reunification of the island yes, because they have too much wealth in the occupied areas.However your leadership made it impossible by totally screwing their properties, by importing too many settlers etc etc. If they are not going to get back their properties, if they will share the island with more imported settlers than Cypriots, if they will get nothing out of it other than a headache and an economic load, then why should they want such a reunification?
It is also a myth that the Kypreoi have everything they want. Go ask the refugees , they are almost 40% of the population. You don’t know what it means to build a life from zero… True we have the advantage of having RoC, but if you think it is raining Euros and we milk them every morning come and join us.
Jesus, the whole state is at the verge of Bankruptcy… at least you have Turkey to pay all you salaries , you have ZERO foreign dept…. Actually you are the one who is milking the cow every morning, bless Turkey
**3** It is true that they initially promised the refugees return to their homes initially, but I don’t think anyone beleives it today. Most would be satisfied with free settlement agreements, but NOBODY would accept losing their properties.
**4**I was sure you would try to debunk my post by saying the Kibrislis proved they wanted re-unification in the period between 2002-2004 and their voting yes to the Anan Plan.
However we have to distinguish the wills of the real Kibrislis, their leaderships, and Turkey. I have no doubt the majority of real Kibrislis still want reunification even today.. In the period 2002-2004 they happened to have Talat in power who was a real clever man and among the few who realized early enough that the Taksim to recognition plan will never succeed. He tried the best he could, he succeeded in getting the Anan Plan which was so perfect for all, be it the real Kibrislis, Turkey, even the settlers, however a disaster for the Kypreoi.
