A label can be attached to anything. Another example: "peace operation".
This is exactly what I am talking about in this thread. We can agree on the label, but mean VERY different things.
So what do
YOU mean by unity cypezokyli? Bosnia? Thats for you the "solution" for the Cyprus problem??
.
i reffered to bosnia fo two reasons.
1. to state that things like "no place in the world" having such system is not an argument anymore.
2. i hope you understand , how important it is when the international community has set a paradigm.
now to your question.
if you get the tcs to agree on your term of unity , then you achieved a real "unifying" term for the word "unity". if your term for "unity" fails to unite all cypriots then i am afraid that it is not uniting anyone
if i would accept the bosnian model as a solution ?
let me put it that way :
the bosnian problem is not solved yet. it will take years for that to happen , because it is not a constitution on a piece of paper that brings unity but it is a long process that will heal the wounds and slowly create a sense of "bosnianism" in the country.
the system is dysfunctional. true . peace is only present due to the heavy military presence in the area. also true.
ten years after dayton though , there is a relative peace , and the peace forces are reducing. more than half of the refuggees have returned. the system is today working better in comparison to the first five years where all parties chose to vote for nationalist parties. they are today even discussing the prospect of creating a united bosnian army! will they achieve it soon ? i have my doubts. but after ten years they are at least discussing something that was out of the question in 1994. perhaps one day they will achieve it.
now, where were we ten years after the war ? at the same position we are 30 years after the war. where is the progress in our case ? because just like reportfromcyprus sais , a constitution alone cannot bring unity.do you think that even if we achieve to have unity written as "one country one people" on a piece of paper, that will be enough to bring "unity" ?
I think unity in Cyprus lies with the political leadership. When they get negotiating and handling things properly instead of scoring points and living in the past, we might get closer to improving our lives.
Leaderships change. A unity of a country can not depend on the mood of the leadership of some groups.
Unity means one united country and one united people. Not racist separation and discrimination
i agree with report.
any system will collapse with unwilling leaderhip.
it is not contitutions that fail. it is leaders.
moslems thats why.Wake up everyone,america needs the greeks,so they can use your air bases.Israel is only round the corner.
