[quote="cypezokyli"]the flag issue is a good crawl initiative. (get ready to get attack from other patriots on that )
matters like the settlers , armies , property issue , embargoes etc, can only be solved with a comprehensive solution. unfortunately we cannot crawl with these things. they have to be agree as a whole.
now , the fact that "we" dont agree , allow me to disagree. perhaps it is our "leaders" that dont agree.
moreover , however "fair" your steps may sound , they are kind of one-sided. unfortunately in negotiations you have to "give" also , and i didnot see any such moovement from our part , in your proposal
. as a concequence , i wouldnt be that positive that it can only work like that.
but , you cannot judge a tc only on the ground how he views the turkish army , and if he doesnt view it the same way we do , that means there is no solution. you have to sit down and think for a minute what have made the tcs consider the turkish army as they do.
second, you have to appreciate that for a specific time the tcs did raise their voice against the turkish army but got no response from our side.
you refer again to settlers. what do you expect to listen from a tc who is married with a mainland turk ? even if that tc supports that the armies leave the island ? do you expect from she or he to ask for ALL settlers out of cyprus ?
lastly, if you are planning ever of getting into a discussion with tcs , in order to get to know what they really think you could for a while refrain from all kinds of "compliments". if you dont force them on the defensive you might be surprised from their views. but you didnot try did you ? you are already "sure" what they are , arent you ?[/quot
If they cant even agree on the flag Iam affraid that every is wasting their time. They will be arguing forever.
Why is my oppinion one sided exactly.
I will still argue with you that if you steel form me I want it back.
This is not a Greek thing it is common sense in any language.
By every body getting back what they own I dont see that as one sided thing at all Greek ot Turk .
If they do not want to go back compensate them Dont say you are not going back but you will be compensated for it. That does not work.
Wasnt that a major issue in the referendum?
By giving property and land for the sake of unification is not acceptable you are simply rewarding a theif.
Surprise me what are the TC views?
If unified the TC will be in the EU along with the GC is that not award enough also create a new govmnt.
Married to settlers is a hard one you would have to talk numbers
How many are there. If it takes another 30 years and the married settlers out number the GC What Then??
