better solution from a well respected greek journalist:
this is the google traslation from greek:
Of the UN Secretariat, the Greek Cypriots can not expect anything ...
better than a variant of the Annan Plan. In thirty years of talks is gradually consolidate a "negotiating acquis' leading there.
Stavros Lygerou
It is no secret that after the destruction of the financial sector after the imposition of the memorandum will be served version of the Annan Plan. The Washington, evroierateio and Ankara believe that the Republic of Cyprus has become a colony of debt and the Anastasiadis the chair have a unique opportunity to impose what the Greek Cypriots rejected in the referendum of 2004 with overwhelming 76%. The energy-hungry Turks seeking to get their hands on the energy wealth of the Republic. They have, therefore, additional reason to promote Annan type solution because it will allow them to acquire rights in the name of Turkish Cypriots.
Of the UN Secretariat, the Greek Cypriots can not expect anything better than a variant of the Annan Plan. In thirty years of talks is gradually consolidate a "negotiating acquis' leading there. A strategy review, but for this to happen, the Greek Cypriot political elite must extricate himself from stereotypes decades.
The coexistence of the two communities has meaning only in terms of a true federation, no internal barriers and intervention rights. Ankara and Turkish Cypriots, however, do not want such a "marriage". Since the functional unification of Cyprus is not practical, the Greek Cypriots seeking primarily safety and recovery of the soil. Turkish Cypriots seek recognition of their state and EU membership
A sustainable solution can be provided as inseparably as follows:
• Back ground to the Greek Cypriots in return for recognition of Turkish Cypriot state.
• The two Cypriot states will establish a union of independent states for EU membership will not have a common government. There will be institutionalized consultation of the relevant state organs. Each state will have its own economy. The institutions will jointly participate with one vote by the representatives of the two Cypriot states. Where according to voting. Where disagreement between them will abstain. The two states will have their own special responsibility towards the European Commission for the implementation of Community law.
• The withdrawal of foreign troops and the abolition of the status of the guarantor powers and rights of intervention. Each Cypriot state will have its own National Guard. Guarantor role can be taken by the EU and NATO to have a say the U.S. and Ankara. More appropriate would be the Republic of Cyprus to join the Atlantic Alliance.
• The prohibition of citizenship to nationals of third countries not to overthrow the existing population balance on the island.
• The compromise settle the issue of Turkish settlers. Remain those living many years on the island and have been married to Turkish Cypriots. The rest will return to Turkey.
• The Greek Cypriots will regain their properties in the north and Turkish Cypriots in the South and will apply what is true for every European citizen who has property in another State. For some special cases may apply the rule of compensation for owners and voluntary exchange.
Such a velvet imidiazygio the framework and under the supervision of the EU has advantages for the Greek Cypriots. Will limit their role in the EU, but the restrictions will be much greater if apply any other co-operative solution. The Greek Cypriot state will maintain its sovereign rights over its energy wealth. The dichotomy is defacto and solutions Annan type make and dejure with very unfavorable terms. Between two independent states-members of the EE barriers are minimal compared to what is provided for within the "United Cyprus Republic" solution Annan.
With such a solution the Greek Cypriots would avoid the disastrous consequences of the Annan Plan as the dysfunctionality of the common state, bi-communal tensions, constraints on the three freedoms, dependence on foreign referees appointed, the presence of Turkish troops and their invasive right across of Crete. You can move without restrictions, to establish and operate economically in North Cyprus. You can sell or exploit their properties. Mostly, though, you have next to their small Turkish Cypriot state, will dance anymore in European rates will gradually become autonomous from the suffocating embrace of Turkey. Such a solution would defuse and ethnic conflicts, because each community will be boss in the territory, but on the basis of European law. Because Ankara will rightly fear that it will lose control of the Turkish Cypriot state and essentially put outside Cyprus may scupper the plan. Will assume these costs. And this is by no means trivial.
