Which government would govern the Turkish Cypriots in your new Utopia?
A democratically elected government. Is democracy so out of tune with Turkish Culture that this would be unacceptable? Are you sure you should be part of the EU, International Community and the human race?
Would it by any chance be the Greek Cypriot Government?
It would be a democratically elected Cypriot Government. Ethnicity should not play a factor. Policitical parties should be banned from discriminating membership on an ethnic or racist basis. This is the way to achieve a tolerant and inclusive democracy.
It’s obvious that the Turkish Cypriots will never allow a Greek Cypriot Government to govern them;
What if the government is democratically electected by all Cypriots of all ethnic groups? Again, are you saying that you do not respect democracy? Do you prefer endless hatred and non cooperation. Are all Turkish Cypriots against democracy like you.
they don’t wish to have any influence over the politics of the south and don’t want the south to have any influence in the TRNC politics.
This "north and south" ethnic division is an illegal breach of the Geneva Convention. You support the illegal breaches of the Geneva Convention. It is a war crime. North and South, east and west, it is 2006 get over it.
If the illegality of ethnic cleansing is subject to exceptions, what are they? I can find any. Maybe I'm looking up the wrong web sites. If you find an exception tell me please. I genuinely can't find anything. If you find a legal exception do not tell anybody. It may be used against you.
My ancestors and family are from Agios Amvrosios ,(you call it esentepe) Kyrenia. I have little and perhaps no connection with the rest of Cyprus. I stay in hotels when I am in Cyprus .There are mainland Anatolian Turks in my house in Agios Amvrosios. Which side of Cyprus should Cypriots such as myself call home according to you? I am not concerned with the local politics of the "South' either. I only consider the North home. Where would the many refugees who have had to leave Cyprus as a result of ethnic cleansing for God knows where with no connections to other places in Cyprus consider their homes. I know people who got onto the first available flight out of Cyprus after leaving at gun point and have never been able to return to Cyprus. Where would these people call home?
This is what ethnic cleansing is. In 15 years Turkey will deny it like the Amrenian Genocide.
14 years that proved that Turkish Cypriots and greek Cypriots cannot live together within the same democratic government, This forum is full of examples where the opposing sides just cannot agree on anything, they cant even agree to disagree,
In a democracy citizens must respect democratic outcomes irrespective of whether they agree or disagree with that outcome.
The last shot was fired i believe in or around 74, though the politicians still maintain a continual sniping war against each othe, at least they are not using real bullets,
Issac and his cousin were shot and killed in 1996. Was the killing of an unarmed civilian peaceful and cooperative?
The last 32 years prove that an ethnically divided Cyprus can at least live as neighbours without trying to kill each other, Provided neither side are in a position to try to influence the others politics,
How are we living as neighbours. Half the refugees of Kyrenia are in other countries becuase of ethnic cleansing. The word nieghbours is cheapened the way you use it. If you want to use the word neighbours you have to pay the price. The price is living in a democracy side by side, next door, accross the road and even in a share house with a Greek Cypriot, a Maronite Cypriot and an Armenian Cypriot.
If you are trying to say that "we can't live together" it makes me think you manufactured the violence and unrest as a pretext for a ethnic cleansing land grab.
You keep thinking of terms as this side and that side. We are all Cypriots. How can you say we are living in peace- Cyprus is one of the most militarised areas in the world per capita.
