If the TRNC were to get recognized it will likely allow a GC minority to return.
If the RoC restored control over the whole of Cyprus,TCs would again become a minority.
In such eventualities would you accept to be a minority in a state dominated by the other ethnic group?

I wouldn't violate the human, legal or democratic rights of anybody in order not to be a minority, and at the same time I would expect the country of which I am a minority to fully respect my human and minority rights.

What I wouldn't accept is to live in a state that was created by performing ethnic cleansing. This is something that the UN can not accept either. Therefore the possibility of "TRNC" being recognized does not exist.

This was a hypothetical question Piratis.
The possibility of the RoC regaining control of the North an dsubjugating TCs as a minoirty, does not exist either.

Both might be hypothetical, but there are 2 differences:
1) RoC regaining control of its northern part is legal while the "TRNC" is illegal.
2) "TRNC" being recognized is impossible since at the height of their power the Turks can not achieve such thing, while RoC regaining what it legally owns is not an impossibility in the mid-term to long term if some changed occur in the balance of power.

IF a country existed were the majority of this country were TCs (and this was achieved without ethnic cleansing) then I wouldn't have a problem to live there unless my human rights were violated.
