That is not exactly what I said. What I said was that today the balance of power favors Turkey and that any proposal that is made by the USA (Turkeys ally and the one behind things like Annan plan) would favor Turkey. Such proposal will be (just like Annan plan) a solution for TCs and Turkey but not a solution for the rest of Cypriots.
So it is not that RoC doesn't want a true solution, but that a true solution is currently impossible.
The balance of power
will change, as it can't stay constant. Now you might say that this change could favor Turkey. This is could be the case, until the next change, but eventually our turn will come as well.
So to cut a long story short, we will not sign away our country, never, and we will wait for the first chance available to take it back. If we don't sign it away, when the time will come to take it back (the time that the balance of power will favor this) we will do it, and nobody will be able to complain as we would just be enforcing legality.
Piratis,
I think RoC will elect a president who will want to find a long lasting solution with the TC's than waiting for the "Balance of Power" to change between Turkey and RoC. Why wait for ever for the shift of power to happen and go to war, again, when it should be able to solve the Cyprus problem, politically.
Lets just say in 20 years, you get to have all the power in your favour and you get rid of Turkey. Now what.?
Are you going to start getting rid of, all those living in the North, which may be 2-3 times as many people than now.?
What will you do with them.?
Do you think other countries are not going to stop you from touching their citizens, who may be living there for 20 years or more. ?
Will the EU allow you to evict all the TC's and foreign nationals from their homes they occupy now, whether it is a Greek property or not.?
In short, the answers are NO. Guess what, you're going to have to find a political solution then also. So why waste waiting for 20 more years (more like 100) to find a solution, when it can be done now. We can not go back to the old days, as to how everything was. We need to start fresh. So some people will not be able to go back to their original homes. They will get their country back, and a new home to live and travel as they please.
Can you imagine how much more difficult is going to be in 20 years time or even in 100 years time.???
