Following justified complaints that I didn't give enough options in the previous poll, I am repeating it with more options available ...

[magikthrill]

does settling imply only just that - moving in, or anything including opening businesses and such?

[Alexandros Lordos]

No, settling implies full rights as a resident, including buying property, voting and so on.

The right to settle without rights - however "meaningful" that might be - is already provided for in the Annan Plan, under the "second home" provisions.

Wow!

Is everyone in this forum against permanent bizonality?

[brother]

YES thankfully

[magikthrill]

im sure if it was a feasible option many TCs (outside this forum at least) wouldnt mind.

[tcypriot]

yes it's a feasible option for us as long as we want it to be, this is our country so we can resist opressions at all cost just as we did not accept the Greek Occupation of the Cyprus Republic, between 1963 and 1974.

you've taken our humanist behaviours as weakness ,i guess, but dont be fooled, we're not in a position to surrender.

So, how do you see "temporary bizonality" working out? Not to put any ideas into your head, but does the prospect of the Greek Cypriots eventually becoming a majority in the north not scare you? I am asking, because I always assumed that permanent bizonality would be a non-negotiable demand of the Turkish Cypriots ...

My question is: How do you see temporary bizonality and political equality both being valid at the same time? ...

[tcypriot]

Well, i dont think there'll be any need for different states, or zones when we realise that we're all human beings and we'd better concentrate on pleasure and exploring the universe rather than hurting each other because of man made differences. But until that moment comes, bizonality and restrictions on non-turkish-cypriot population in North are a must and the percentage of non-turkish cypriots in North shall be limited to a percentage acceptable for the Turkish Cypriots.
When the days of the world federation comes, bizonality will no more be of importance in securing political equality, cause firstly there will be no more different nations but even before that, people will be intellectual enough to accept the political equality of other nations.

Well well, a visionary if I ever saw one ...
