It was unworkable right from the start.
So when you agrred and signed you had no intention of making it work? The only way to make it work was to water down Tcs rights and strengthen the GC hand, great.
No it was not. From 1968 onwards Makarios was publicly speaking not for the desirable but for the possible.
That was a cover when did Makarios ever tell the truth, he was funding and pushing TCs abroad as they were so economically strained I think you call that ethnic cleansing.
Yes. Under which not even one TC was hurt.
It consituted a threat to an already disfunctional constitution and created a state of emergency in which the TC community were definately at risk. Even Makarious asked Turkey to intervene.
There was, he held power for only 6 days. He did not broadcast anything in 1974. He said that many years later. However he lost power the 6th day and Klerides took over. 2 days later Turkey Invaded. Klerides was the greatest GC Phiilo-Turk ever.(He was the one who donated you the Anan Plan). So why Turkey Invaded?
So there was no risk during those 6 days? the constitution was not in taters and the TCs were living in heaven, come one even you can understand the fear and explosive position TCs were in.
Yes because this is where Ankara wanted them to be, to have them safe during the Invasion. Each ghetto was governed by at least one General from Turkey. True or not that each and every ghetto or enclave was governed by a mainland Turkish General?
This is what you want to believe the fear was very real and TCs found solis in sticking together this is very natural. Why should TCs want to live in such squalid conditions if they could go home and reclaim whats theres, even today we hear stories of what GCs were doing to the TC community, you to can today go to TC villages in the north and talk to old TCs they will explain exactly what they lived through and how they were treated during those times.
There was no threatening of the existence of TCs, because they were already concentrated in enclaves. The Invasion was the final strike of a well pre-planned process of Taksim, and the only way to come to that was the concentration of the TCs in enclaves and their suffering. True the best servants to have the policy of TCs concentrating in enclaves were the GC extremists. If you are unable to see who wanted you to be in enclaves you will constantly lose the whole picture
I am happy that we did not chance on not being anniahalated and that Turkey arrived when they did Im pretty certain you would have wanted the same if you were the ones at risk of being killed .
The very same policy of having the TCs concentrated in a bigger enclave and continue suffereing the consequences is practiced EVEN TODAY, as the Taksim dream has not yet finished. It will finish when TRashNcan gets recognised i.e NEVER.
Suffering? get real have you visited the north or spent time with a TC family, one less car or one less holiday a year is not suffering, please dont insult the poor and hungry in Africa who are suffering with TCs who have a standard of living on par with other EU countries.
As for the TRNC being recognized we will see...only time will prove who is right and who is wrong.
