Lena,
[quote]What I see in your post …and I am sorry if it will sound a bit like I am insulting you …. But you did sell us out…us and your country Simon. You talk about Cyprus like a piece of land that you negotiate how much you will get from that or how much you will pay for that. Try to negotiate as much land back as possible….? Try to negotiate with who? Get land back? Simon my country is from Ap. Andrea to Akama…from Kerimia to Limassol…I am not negotiating about land… [/quote]
What I see in your post Lena, is the same ideal situation that many talk about. Cyprus is magically going to become one country again, but you are dreaming! You will be waiting forever. Even our leaders have said yes to a BBF, what do you think that is, it will still be stealth partition anyway, with TCs dominating the north and GCs the south. Explain how I am selling us out? Explain how you will make Cyprus one? People like you enjoy talking about ideals, but never on substance. I am being realistic. Are you going to force TCs to unify? You talk as if it is my choice; and ignore the fact that TCs have to agree with your ideal view, AND THEY DON'T. Show me one Poll, where TCs prefer a one-state solution above the rest, and I will be very happy.
[quote]I agree with Humanist…Cyprus is not about land…is about people, human rights, all your 4 options up there lead to one conclusion … that you made your mind to sell your property and you only wait for the price. [/quote]
I am sorry to sound patronising, but this makes me laugh. What do you think the people care about: their land and houses. What do you think the main human rights breaches are about: GCs being removed from their land and houses. Of course it is about land and we want it all back! But eventually, realism must kick in. My 4 options do not lead to one conclusion, you are simply wrong. One of my options was wait for TCs to change their mind and unite with us, (although I did say don't hold your breath because I cannot see it happening); that was a very different conclusion to selling our property, so please refrain from making misleading statements, when trying to malign me.
[quote]You can call me naïve…as other has done already, dreamer or any but until I lost every hope, until there will be none left that want unification…I will stick on my believes. I will fight for the best of my country and not the best price for my self. [/quote]
This is the whole point though Lena, a minority of TCs want unification. Tell me what is going to change? You have heard Zan, VP etc, it does not matter what happens, they will always favour partition, because they see themselves as Turks, well, well before Cypriots. In the North, the majority are settlers, are you going to force them all to leave? Will Turkey agree? How can we stop them voting on a solution? You are right, I do think we are being naive, because we keep reiterating what we want the solution to be, but not recognising there are two parties at the table, and we have to get the other's agreement. 'The other' being now Turks as much as TCs, because there are so many settlers. I am asking what can we do to change this? And here is your response:
[quote]I will stick with them hopping that the percentages in favour of the unification will increase in the next 3 years.[/quote]
Wait another 3 years for another survey, hoping for a difference.
In the meantime, pray 'TRNC' is forever unrecognised.
