We can all see how reality is today, and nobody said that solving the Cyprus problem could be done just by proving that our arguments are right.
However since we are not masochists, we should keep fighting for what is right and just. Although this will not have an immediate result since the balance of power does not favor as at the moment, it can have other results:
1) Those that commit these illegalities against us will have consequences.
2) We ensure that what is illegal today will continue to be illegal tomorrow. (imagine what would happen if we said "oh well, we just accept 'reality'. No need to ask for our rights anymore")
The above is the max we can do today, and thats what we should do. By doing that, we do what we can to reduce or limit the increase of their power, thus increasing the chances that at a certain point in the future the balance of power will be such that will allow for a fair and just solution to be found.
While legality is not enough when the balance of power is against us, in a situation were this balance will be more "balanced" having legality on our side could make all the difference.
