Imo the 1960 constitution is not AT ALL ANY different in sharing power than any Federal system. House Laws must be approved by both President and Vice president, the same for the laws of the Communal Chambers, we have duality EVERYWHERE, e.g GC Attorney General -TC Deputy attorney General, both with identical/equal duties, same with the Supreme court judges, same everywhere in all positions of authority.

It really amazes me why the TCs do not officially ask for their return to 1960 constitution and discuss the Federal transformation of RoC from within the RoC.

If for nothing else to at least solve their illegal status problem and their isolation.

Or at least why they don’t adopt fully the 1960 constitution in the northern areas, and run it assuming their Debuty or Vice positions. There is no position of authority in the 1960 constitution that does not assume a TC Debuty or Vice.

Jeez some people don’t even see the moon even if you tell them it’s the biggest star at night

Because the aim of the TC & Turkish regime is partition, that is the one and only reason behind this debacle.

True humanist.

It seems the average TC is now confused. On one hand he hears their leadership saying they want reunification whereas it is more than obvious they are checking how far their wings can fly them towards at least some recognition.

Unfortunately the few voices in the TC community that advocate return to the 1960 constitution FAILED to explain the TCs that this COULD be used as a step towards Federation. Because the 1960 constitution is in fact Federal by itself in terms of power sharing. Furthermore those forces among the TC community that support the return to 1960 constitution, support it as a FINAL solution which is wrong!

I would like to hear more from TCs in this forum regarding this matter. Come on guys the constitution can be found here.

Just read it and tell me if there is even one position of Authority in the 1960 Constitution that is not DUAL. Start from the Vice President, to the Deputies or Vice of any position, to the communal chambers. Btw I wonder how many people in here know that in addition to the Parliament, we have the communal chambers making laws in 1960 constitution.

I am not saying the 1960 constitution is marvelous or anything. I would say it is more unworkable than the political system proposed in the Anan Plan.

The only reason the 1960 constitution still works is because the duality element is not there ever since the TCs withdrew from the Government. It requires too much consent and good will at each and every level otherwise everything gets stuck.

But... it could be used for 1-2 years as a step forward final FEDERAL solution. This final FEDERAL solution will also automatically solve the problems of Duality at every level of the 1960 constitution. It will only limit it at the Central state level.
