It appears that the partition dream is well inside the heads of most Turkish Cypriots and they value this dream higher than legality, higher than respect toward Greek Cypriots, and higher even that their own interests which would have been in a united democratic Cyprus part of EU without racist or other discriminations.
For most TCs "unity" actually means a form of loose association (like Annan plan) that would allow them to end the isolation, become EU members and get richer. I hope they will realize that such kind of "unity" does not exist and in the end they will have to choose between a true unity or to remain under an illegal Turkish puppet state.
The fact that we accepted the Annan Plan does not mean that it's the only plan that we'll ever accept. In my opinion, the TCs will accept a solution based on a bizonal, bicommunal federation that will also be acceptable to the GCs. Currently, when I look at what's on the table, i.e. a BBF, it looks acceptable to the TCs. However, without specifics, we cannot say for sure what will be accepted, because most people have their own scale to measure what they see positive and what they see negative about the specifics. In the end they will accept a plan not based on it's perfection, but it's overall quality, after all things are considered.
