The Cyprus problem is one of sharing the same homeland by two – yes one is smaller than the other – peoples, the relationship between which is not one of minority and majority but of two politically equal peoples. The Cyprus problem started with Greek Cypriots trying to usurp the inalienable rights of the Turkish Cypriot people (by forcing the 13 point changes in 1963 against the will of the Partner Turkish Cypriots) – including their right to live – and has been continuing because of the intransigence to recognise the share of Turkish Cypriots in the sovereignty and administration of the island. The territorial aspect is of course important, but NOT the fundamental aspect of the Cyprus problem.
That is why a Solution today can only materialize in the form of TWO Republic states; because the Greek Cypriot "WILL NOT BECOME A COMMUNITY".
