An advice to the TCs: The more you insist on the "together but separate" idea, the more you push the GCs into wanting partition

An advice to the GCs: The more you insist the TCs cannot be decision makers in a United
Cyprus, the more you push them into wanting partition.

We had that in 1960 complete with an 'idependent' head of the supreme court and the municipalites issue WAS ultimately refered to the court and Makarios just refused to accept the courts ruling (leading to the resignation of the 'independent' judge as well). What would stop this happening again ?

Again well said,

I believe the foreign judge was a German citizen.

But again I also find Alexandros very farnk on this issue. The only way we can solve this problem is by having some third party judge, and I also like him believe that this kind of refusal of "supreme court decisions" can not be performed again by GCs especilly when all of us are a prt of bigger EU which solelly relies on supremacy of law.

Thanks

For info he was Professor Ernst Forsthoff (professor of law at heidleberg universtiy)

I also find Alexandros very 'reasonable' - he gives me hope for the future which helps to balance some of posters that do the opposite.
I also think that these things can not happen today (from the violence to the disregard for law) but then that annoying 'arguing' part of my mind says they no doubt thought exactly the same in 1960?
Still I do think it is unlikely that any new consitution and law would be so disregarded - I just thought it should be pointed out that it had been in the past.
