Turkey does not want the break up of Cyprus. It wants a united Cyprus in which the rights of the TC's are respected.
Issy, sorry, but what you say is a joke. Turkish Generals, the ones who really rule Turkey, have admitted on several occasions that they want north Cyprus for themselves for strategic reasons. There are Turkish made maps showing a partitioned Cyprus since the 50s, and their plans for such thing were even before that. All they needed was a good excuse to execute their plans.
So please don't tell me that Turkey wants a united Cyprus! If it was not for EU Turkey would still say that the Cyprus problem was solved in 1974.
It appears that Cyprus wants a Turkish surrender
So what exactly did Republic of Cyprus asked Turkey to surrender? Part of the southern Turkey perhaps?
What RoC demands is to be given back its own territory which is currently illegally occupied by Turkey. The Turks by denying this are the ones who expect Cyprus to surrender because of the illegal brute force they put on our country.
Dream on it isnt going to happen. Bigger countries than Cyprus have tried to break Turkey up in the past and have failed-it was the allies that occupied Turkey after WW1 and encouraged Greece to invade to get her slice of the action-you were going to recover Constantinople remember. Read your history books you might learn something.
If you read your own history book you will see that modern day Turkey is what is left from the once mighty Ottoman empire. Don't be so arrogant to believe that Turkey can occupy part of Cyprus, can have claims in the Aegean, can enter Iraq whenever she feels like, and that these "favors" will never be returned to her at some point.
Now I am not going to talk about Greeks and Armenians of Asia Minor, since the Turks have exterminated most of them. However the Kurds are one nation still under the Turks which was not liberated with the end of the Ottoman empire. Personally I see a very high possibility of a Kurdish state to be created in the next few years made up from territories currently under Turkey and Iraq.
If Turks think that they can use the Turkish minority of Cyprus to brake up RoC, then they should remember that sooner or later they will be paid back in a similar wayu
