then tell me how you would like to see Cyprus in ten years time
then tell me how to acheive the Cyprus you would like to see in ten years time
can what you want, be achieved without displacing more people from their homes or denying more people their human rights ?
i am truly interested in your views and more than interested in your suggestion for a solution

Bakala, if you believe or hope that you will ever get me to acknowledge that you should have the right to go to the north of Cyprus, and illegally “buy” the property and/or the house out of which I was forced in 1974 and ever since they were illegally usurped and deprived from me and my family, and then -in a future solution, to also expect me to accept their loss forever, so that your “human rights” will not be violated for been the occupant of this property and /or home, then you are very naïvely arrogant to say the least.
Turkey, by forcing out 200,000 G/Cs (1/3 of the population) in 1974, and by usurping their properties and denying them their rights to exist in their ancestral homelands, homes and properties, she committed a paramount illegality and a serous human rights violation for which it has been contemned by the UN and the ECHR’s. Now, we all understand that there was a number of T/Cs which moved from the south into the north in 1975 (some 50,000) and who also left properties in the south, even though substantially less than what the G/Cs have left in the north (a ratio of 1:6 in terms of value,) and which people out of necessity should have been given some alternative house and or property in the north, in order to make up their living and continue their lives. Unfortunately this was not the case with the vast majority of the G/Cs, simply because of the ratio discrepancy. When it comes to issues affecting such people (T/Cs that relocated into the north,) then yes, we are prepared to make discounts on our own human rights (right to our legally owned properties and homes in the north,) so that they are not victimised and have their own human rights been violated. However, this should have a limit, and the limit is what I just explained to be. We have absolutely no obligation to make the slightest discount on our rights, so that people that where illegally transferred from Turkey (settlers) and were subsequently been illegally given our homes and properties in OUR OWN homeland, or people that came from abroad (UK, elsewhere in Europe, middle east, etc,) and illegally “bought” are homes and properties; should be guaranteed their so called “human rights” that they may claim to have in our own illegally usurped properties and in our own country.
It is your choice to go and illegally “buy” my stolen property in the north, out of which I was illegally expelled in 1974 and for which neither I have given my consent to be sold to anyone, nor I have been asked and /or even been offered any compensation -not that I would have accepted it anyway. However, in doing so you should also know that as long as I breath, me and the rest of my family and children, we will struggle to make you lose that property and perhaps also lose your money. Subsequently, we will never sign any solution which will put your so called “human rights” that you wrongfully believe they derive from your decision to accept to buy stolen goods, above our own legal, legitimate, historical human rights in our homeland. We may accept to concede to it to a certain extent, for our T/C compatriots only, those who have also suffered to an equal extent like we did and also for the sake of reaching a peaceful compromise that will victimise the people of this country to the least possible degree. From then on,
absolutely for no one else's interests!
