Why on earth would I want to live as a minority in a Gc state I can do that tomorrow by moving south, why not allow people the freedom to choose whether they wish to live in the south or north under GC or TC administration why do you want to force one side to submit to the other when there is absolutely no trust or desire to do so? One country one identity with two states where one state cannot force, impose or dominate the other. In time and with a building of trust and properity the people from both sides can decide whether they wish to for a unitary state.
Recognised by the world in an agreement that the Greek Cypriots were forced to sign or face partition. Why should 80% of the population live in fear of the neo-Ottomans?
"why do you want to force one side to submit to the other" You are having a laugh aren't you? That's exactly what Turkey has done - forced one side to submit to the other and grabbed, and intends to keep, more than 18% of Cyprus. But that's our punishment for being "naughty boys" isn't it VP.
Forced or not is was signed and it is internationally recognized you cannot unilaterally erase it.
Turkey was invited by yourselves to step in and put an end to your enosis wet dreams, you couldnt share, you wanted everything your own way by forcing the TCs to submit to your manipulation discriminationa and persecution, it backfired and you lost 37% of the island. Even today your intentions are not to share equally but to force a partner into minority status and take control of the whole island. Aint gonna happen.
