The line has been opened from North to South for about 3 years now. How many racial tensions between the two communities been displayed so far? Maybe enough to count on 1 hand. It was Turkey who opened up the line, not Dektash. Reason being that they have to settle the dispute before they get into th EU. They're still holding a hardline stance because of fear that the Greeks are out to annihalate TCs.
Now just to show how far fetched that is, what if they did the same in Israel? Palestinians would of killed a few hundred, maybe more in a three year span. GC and TC tension is politically made up. The TRUE TCs know what the GCs are all about, and they never feared them or vice versa. Its just all machinated bullsh*t. Turkey wouldnt even pass a lie detector with all the rubbish they throw in the papers. So the question is, when is all this paranoia going to end with a country thats 40 miles away from the people that they could care less about?

growuptcs your right they use the Turkish Cypriots as a excuse to invade Cyprus
The Turkish Cypriot Leader Rauf Denktash himself who stated in the Milliyet 7.23.85: "Naturally Turkey has strategic interests in Cyprus. It is fortunate for Turkey that the Turkish Cypriot community exists here. Even if the Turkish Cypriot community did not exist, Turkey would not have left Cyprus to Greece. Mr. Koruturk told me something whixh is very important. The honorable President had told me: "If Cyprus passes to Greece and is militarized, then Turkey ceases to be a maritime nation". This is an extremely important factor."
The Turkish prime Minister himself, in a number of recent statements, left no doubt about Turkey's real aims regarding Cyprus. In an interview with the "International Herald Tribune" 6.2.86 Mr. Ozal said: "The island had never been Greek in its history. It belonged to the Venetians and then was taken over by the Ottomans. Later the british came. I believe that it was during the Ottoman period and later under the British rule that the Greeks immigrated to the island. And I said, if you want to the island something, it is more Turkish than Greek. It was governed for many hundreds of years by the Ottomans
