With 20,000 people on the streets in Nicosia, on regular basis, with banners and whistles and horns, you will get the governments attention, that will draw international attention. Shut down the airport and sea ports once or twice and see how the government starts getting hell from the business groups, like the tourism boards, hotels, restaurants and so on, when the tourist cannot fly into the country.
Come on people, you have to put the fire under your government ass for them to feel the heat. Time for patience must have it's limits. Even Ghandi was willing to sacrifice his life to stop the violance between his own people in India. Can't you all sacrifice one day a month collectively to protest to save your country. I'm not talking about a revolution here, just flexing some "peoples power" muscle.
Those who would love to pick up arms against the Turkish forces in Cyprus to drive them out, should have the balls to organize peaceful street marches against their own government, to tell them to stop f***ing around and start negotiating. Turkey is not leaving Cyprus, but she cannot be seen as not willing to negotiate.
If there's a huge outcry on the GC's side who are the majority, it will be very difficult for the TC's side to ignore their "shouting" when the world is watching.
