Framing the issue as you have implies that you expect the so called TRNC to act accordingly as if they (and Turkey) are equal to the Republic, in Cyprus.
I expect Turkey and the pseudo regime to be held to account and to undo their illegality and theft in Cyprus. If they cant be held to a higher standard of conduct then how do you expect a resolution to this decades old problem? Do the GC's and the RoC have to sink the depths of their insanity to meet them "half way"?
Your problem is that you are so myopic. You are stuck in 1974. Learn your history.
1. We signed an agreement in 1960.
2. You started a war in 1963 with the plan to unite with Greece.
There is the real problem. A lot of GCs refuse to even look at how we arrived here today. Especially when Dengtash agreed back in 1972 to the changes asked for by Makarios only for Makarios to veto the agreement between Dengtash and Clerides. So I guess you can go kiss Makaros's ass for the predicament he put you in. Or even Grivas's ass. Especially as he new about the coup and did nothing about it and actually invited Turkey to invade with his own mouth.
When it comes to 2004, we had a good plan so most people would get closure for their property but GCs said no. No use crying for spilt milk. I said it before and I will say it again. Those TCs who have not accepted GC properties will be given their properties back plus compensation for not being able to use their property. Especially those who left Cyprus before 1974. I have property taken from me back in 1963. I still do not have to this day.
FFS learn your history.
Not forgetting that TCs set up IPC for GCs to claim their land or compensation or both. Considering TCs have done this why has RoC set u something similar for people to do the same in reverse. This Dervish character has paid 20,000 pounds and spent 10 years going through the RoC courts to finally be given his property back.
I cant take you seriously, because firstly, you are a hypocrite and secondly you are so disingenuous.
You know very well that all these agreements or plans were unfair and discriminatory to %80+ of the population and basically designed to fail. A legally invalid agreement, not up to modern world standards is always going to be legally invalid and not up to modern world standards.
For a humanitarian man who loves equality amongst people like yourself, you need to take a good hard long look in the mirror to see if the man staring back at you is actually who you would like everyone to think he is.
You have to face and accept the truth. Your people wanted partition and all that it would entail, including ethnic cleansing and dispossessing a large section of your "compatriots" of their property to live under a Turkish governance.
its pitiful that a man of your age living in an advanced western society thinks like this.
Whats even more pitiful is that for you, this "good bit of news" is only so because a "TC" has been compensated by the RoC and one of yours has got one up on the GC's.
if this is a precedent, then all GC's should get compensated for their losses in the occupied north and get restitution as well.
Which would mean, the "TRNC" would cease to exist and you wouldnt have your illegal state.
Would this equally be a good bit of news for a supporter of all refugees like yourself or are you going to demonstrate some hypocrisy instead?
