Please calculate everything, then negotiate with your TC partners (like VP who, speaks for the average TC, his side kick bordo and that musky-jodu).
Then tell the rest of us Kypreoi what the shares are (intangible, tangible) and how much we have to pay.
I also live in Cyprus. The reason I asked is to avoid explaining things that an expat might not be fully aware of.
Second most important is that the forum is not representative of anyone's real character or views. Unless I meet VP, or Lordo or you or anyone else in real life I will not be sure what each one of you stands for.
I will continue later...
Pyro,
I know you mean well and your heart is in the right place, but you are flogging a dead horse.
My initial response, a few posts back was very reasonable.

It's Ok Maximus to keep things simple as per your referenced previous post. The question is what chances do you have to achieve it, given the fact that you have to agree it with the Kibrislis and Turkey who in turn will also put down their own simple things.
I am pro a solution in which both sides will lose something from their own "simple" things. I am convinced the latest joint declaration provides the framework for such a solution.So yes we will lose say 25-30% from our ideal, the Kibislis will lose about the same, but still it's going to be a win-win situation.
I ve' gone back to check what was the disagreement about sharing. Much to my regret all disagreement was based on assumptions.
My view of "sharing" is that of the exact sharing that exists in every Federal Country. Therefore I believe it's pointless to discuss this "sharing" out of the context of a BBF solution. So one has to define how he envisions this BBF to be acceptable to him, and then talk about what, and how, and to what degree, he shares.
Now if you tell me that hoping that we will ever agree on a BBF solution is like " flogging a dead horse" I have to admit you are right.
