VP,
I do not discount what you are saying, however this is still not a win for the GC's. first of all, Turkey has nothing to lose but a lot of potential gain by following international law and the UN resolutions. She has spent the last 40 years trying to get out of Cyprus while maintaining the same illogical and illegal position. We are in the present day and its about Turkey saving face..
by handing back the fenced off area of Varosha to its
legal and rightful owners, without compensation to go along with it so it can be rebuilt, it will be handed back in a state or complete ruin and despair.
think about it, the RoC is broke and in a lot of debt as you would like to say. How can they afford to restore the city to derive any financial or social benefit from it for its residence and the Republic?
I dont think you fully recognise the level of destruction Turkey has created in Cyprus over the years.
