OK now tell me. What gives you the idea that the TCs would accept that?

Do you think they would be happy with this? is it really as you say that the 20% should accept what is dished to them like little serfs when they probably have good reason to be fearful?

Listen Paphitis,

I am talking about Britain, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey,

These are the countries in question.

You are talking about independence, that means a democracy to me which is in conflict with your statement.

I am talking about Cyprus. the only country that matters. And the objective of not having 200,000 refugees.

As it appears, we stuffed that one up but if we had a time machine and stayed under British Rule for a while, would we have 200,000 refugees now?

So am I talking about Cyprus.

the reason why Cyprus has a divided island and 200k refugees is because 20% of the population refected democracy and two countris (britain and Turkey) rejected independence and enosis.

Sorry, but a democracy doesn't mean that any country, let's say Australia, can just have a vote about union with USA (example) and not expect issues. it doesn't work that way.

We will end up like Syria because there would be many who think that's a stupid idea.

it's not the same as electing a government. usually these types of decisions in a federation are impossible because you need 75% of the vote in all states.

well whether you like it or not, 20% actually do have a right to reject union with Greece. And that's why the island is divided and we are in the situation we are in today.

Even today, if you study the UNHCR and United nations charter, you can't deny a significant portion of the population like this their right to veto such a move. self determination of people's.

I dont know what you are talking about now.

My comments are factually correct.

all people's have a right to self determination, and your expressed wish to over ride that with Enosis with Greece is on very shaky ground as far as the International community and UN are concerned.
