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.
Then why do you want it back? what moves have to seen to back your arguement that turkey has been trying to get out of Cyprus? if shes wanted to save face she would have adhered to EU demands instead she put the TRNC before the EU rather contradicts your claim.
I support opening Maraş but the offer has to be one that would benefit both sides.
this is just a word salad so you can expropriate some rights from your theft.
why do you want it back you say? because the RoC and its citizens are the legal and rightful owners. it will sit there in the Roc control until such a time as they can do something with it, even without compensation from Turkey. even here your perception of yourselves and what is right is not based on reality, but psuedo rights and fiction.,
why dont you want to give it back to its legal and rightful owners?
