There's no denying, that in every 3rd world country the military power is the KING. Not against their neighboring countries so much, but against their own people. The military leaders do play the part as the "Pigs in Animal Farm" who do not believe in Democracy or even equality amongst their own people. Too bad Turkey also falls into this category and has not advanced to the values of the West yet, but I do see positive signs from Turkey that will sooner or later will want to join the West, and you are right, this may take a revolution from within, or from their own "friendly countries" when the right time comes. Remember what my old girlfriend said Nikitas, "if you can't fuck a friend, who can you fuck". Of course, the "TRNC" is already a corrupt state and has no legitimacy in what they say and do. Unfortunately, when corruption starts at the top, it finds it's way all the way down to the common person on the street. How can it not. You can see how some members are already corrupted in their views on this forum. Corruption comes in many forms and not just in money and power, but accepting injustices inflicted on others as well as living off the misery of others are also corruption due to having corrupted their values by corrupting their souls.
It's sad that your views are so "anti TC or anti Turk anything". Your constant referal to the "Pigs in Animal Farm" (ie your view of the people of the TRNC and the TRNC itself) is also getting a lttle long in the tooth now...imho

74LB,
On the contrary, my views are not anti TC or anti Turk, but the opposite. I'm against those who control the TC's because they can, because it is good for them and not the TC's themselves. If you know the story of "Animal Farm", and who doesn't, specially those who have attended school in the UK, then you will know, what I'm talking about 74LB. Just look at the survey that was made the other day, when 60% of those living in the North said yes to a 2 state solution....Partition in another words. Now we all know, that close to half of those who voted yes were not TC's but settlers, because the leadership has allowed the settlers to distort the real results on what the TC's want. Of course all the settlers are going to vote for Partition. How else are they going to be able to stay in the homes of the GC's. They don't care if there never is a settlement in Cyprus, because they will benefit at our loss. Once again, those in power were able to stick it to the average TC. Just like the Pigs in the story "Animal Farm" who denied equal rights and treatment of all animals because they put themselves above and in control of all others, just because they could. I know it is little heavy using the term "Animal Farm", but that's how I see our people in the "TRNC" being treated. They are denied to make the choice for themselves, because those in charge will not allow them to do so.
I hope I was able to clear up your concerns 74LB.
Not really.............all my immediate family are in the TRNC. Yes, there are settlers from Turkey, and yes there may well be differences between TC's & Turkish settlers. but no-one, and I repeat no-one that I know wants a return to the way it was prior to 1974.
but no-one, and I repeat no-one that I know wants a return to the way it was prior to 1974
The above quote from you is also far from TC's saying that they want a Partition, does it not.??
74LB, I have never suggested that we should go back to pre-74 times. That's why I call for a True Federation type of Government with True Democracy with all Cypriots rights given to everyone equally, but that is far from asking for Partition.
If you never read my proposals, take a look. The Partitionist do not like it, because it's not what they want. They don't care that 70% TC's are not for Partition, based on the recent survey, where 60% those living in the North said yes to Partition. This was a survey mind you and not a vote, where no one had to prove that they are a citizen to cast a vote. So every settler who were asked if they wanted a 2 state solution (Partition), would only say YES. Why on earth would they say NO and lose their free GC property. So I'm being generous and say, that half of the 60% voted YES in the survey were settlers. So only 30% TC's would have said YES to a Partition and the other 70% not wanting a Partition. Now do you see my "Animal Farm" story being relevant.
Here is my plan.
