You cannot imagine, Lordo, a mono-clonal society, once the doors to Cyprus were opened by the Modern Age, that possibility was over, for "Greeks", and for "Turks". As it is today, Greek is not the threat to Turkish, in Cyprus, English is a larger threat to both. It is exactly as I said. Cyprus has an Ethnos worth defending, and it is as Cypriots that we will succeed in sustaining more than one identity, because with Bicommunality, we recognise the importance of our lives as Individuals, and the importance of our lives as Persons.
...the "gcs" as you call them will not flood the north, there will be Cypriots with good intentions that will find their choices compelling. Speak Turkish, or Greek (first), and English, and many other languages.
There will be a great deal of prosperity, what with the potential that will now be realizable, with Free Movement people will adapt as they are apt to do, for the better.
i know that rw and you know that but the tc fanatics will exploit the situation to get a no vote if the door is left open. if you put no controls to who lives where, then the fact that it is highly unlikely to happen does not come into it, it will be used against the plan and the plan is rejected. i am fairly confident that despite derogation and quotas put in place the quotas will be be exceeded because no that many people will want to up sticks and move to the north. the problem is one of the mind set and we want to move forward towards unification rather than division.
