theresa , which property commission , and why do you think that the GC Government is dragging its feet over a settlement . And how many properties have so far been returned to the rightful owners by the administrators , ie Turkey.
The settlement will come when all Cypriots appreciate each others concerns on the fundamental issues involved , mainly security issues .With Turkey in occupation of a part of Cyprus what do you expect the vast majority of Cypriots to do. Its a matter of time before another sizable minority comes to fruition in Cyprus , that of the Brits , and Eastern Europeans. May be Russia or Britain can then demand a part of Cyprus too with their own administration , police force and army.
There many many Turkish Cypriots who are genuine in their aspirations for a united Cyprus with out foreign troops and with the wisdom to know that no settlement can be achieved until the vast majority are comfortable with a solution.So much propaganda has taken place since the referendum and the No vote by the G/Cs , Turkey putting itself as the" peacemaker " .Well Turkey isn't known in the international world as anything of the sort, on the contrary she stubbornly refuses to recognise international realities on so many issues.
I'm a genuine Cypriot who considers all of Cyprus as my country and all of Cypriots as my people , I make no distinction between G/Cs T/Cs or indeed all the "new Cypriots " but I do make a distinction when it comes to Foreign occupying troops.
