I have said it before, I will say it again.

Most occupations and apartheids last for about 50 years.

So for many TC's, Turks and other third party settlers, they have about 10 years left before they pack their bags and head for Turkey. Since they bleet on so much about how much they hate the GC's and how incompatible they are with modern civilization, they wont be able to live in a GC dominated European democracy.

The end.

MrH, Turkey is a problem in the region and this has nothing to do with any guarantees. Turkey has problems with nearly all their neighbors and making a deal on the Cyprus problem with them will not make Turkey a friendly country, just like they aren't friendly with Greece, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia. Turkey can make claims in our EEZ, just like they have claims in the Aegean and against other countries, but unfortunately for them in our EEZ we have partners from USA, France, Italy etc and if they dared to go against such countries Turkey would be destroyed in seconds. Don't forget that Turkey is a third world country. The true powers are those who can produce cutting edge military technology - USA, Russia, China and some European countries (which also have nukes) so don't overestimate your powers because Turkey can be easily turned into another Iraq or Syria. Your power is only as much as those others allow you to have. In other words, threatening us will not work so you really need to rethink your position.

Immigration to anywhere else other than Turkey, is getting harder and harder.

I agree with most of your post, but how is that aspect getting harder. If anything else it's getting easier. Go to the south, get a ROC passport and travel and study and work anywhere in Europe.

Travel and study OK, but work to the level of education one gets is not easy. In most professions they prefer to employ locals.

That's a nice theory for Southern Europe and the U.K. but Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are brimming in Turks employed in all sorts of positions.

The majority are the children of guest workers, but new ones pop up all the time. Not all of them run Kebab shops or live on benefits. Some own big businesses and prefer to employ their own kin.

As long as Turkish Cypriots have access to OUR passports and at the same time enjoy THEIR puppet state they are having the best of both worlds.

Turks are campaigning strong in all these countries about the Cyprus problem. Even ethnic Germans, when they visit us, think they are visiting "the Greek part of Cyprus" and not the Republic of Cyprus. The occupied part of course is "an independent state". The ignoramus don't even know we are an independent country, they think they are in Greece. The reason? They get all their information from Turks. The plight of the Cypriot people is lost on them.
