Your thoughts and input are well known Viewpoint. The logic behind your arguments is very simple. “You did to us this and that 40 or 50 years ago and for this reason we do not trust you and therefore we are ethically /morally allowed to keep you out of your country, your houses and out of your properties,” or “We do not trust you and because you cannot make us trust you, we are allowed to partition the country forever and declare whatever was yours to be ours forever.” This is all your argumentation and your hypothesis. This is what Mr. Denktash tried to make you get used to, during all this years.
I have always tried to express my views honestly and openly, and thats why you are clear on where I stand, why does this make you uncomfortable? I get the impression that you feel our mutual history does not warrant that we do not trust each other??? that our fears are unwarranted?? we are being paranoid?? am I right? In that case do you feel this issue should not be addressed and no trust building meaasure are necessary to show to all Cypriots that these concerns fears call them what you will are the product of the Denktas propaganda machine. Feel free to prove us wrong, show us that our mistrust of GCs real intentions are unwarranted. To date I have seen a GC administration that is still after using EU leverage to squeeze what it can out of the TCs and "win a victory" in taking control of the whole island both politically and economically, reducing us to a minority status, please please prove me wrong....
Kifeas give us more credit, your arguement that we got your properties so we want to keep them, in that case we dont want a solution is wearing thin and does not hold water any longer, the property issue is not a major priority for the average TCs who is more concerned with equal representation and security....those that have benefited from GC properites will pay when or if the comprehensive solution is reached. Why cant you understand this???its not that difficult, solution = return of land/property.
The partition issue Kifeas, come on my friend would you want to live and share with someone you feel would stab you in the back the first opportunity they got by changing the rules and using tactics to unite with someone else and gradually reducing you to a nonentity.
The current partition is the product of our (Cypriots) mistakes in not taking control of our own destiny as Cypriots, the partition has stopped neddless deaths and intercommunal problems experienced in our past.
The time period is also our (Cypriots) fault, for numerous reasons we have been unable unwilling label it what you wish to compromise and resolve our issues, the result has been perpetuated over time. (Im trying not to lay blame on either side here).
So the current staus quo is just as much your fault as it is mine and the fact that I currently support recognized partition for return of land/property is that I have conceded to the notion that we are unable to solve the Cyprus issue, we do not have the will, desire, flexiblity,vision, we are kidding ourselves. You on the other hand have not conceded to this idea but in 10 20 30 years down the line when we are still srguing the same issues you may, not saying you will im saying you may theres a difference. thats the difference between your viewpoint and mine...
Luckily and despite all the conditioning from denktash, the majority of the TCs, to their credit did not subscribe to this logic. Unfortunately, you are one of those who subscribed.
are you basing your assumption on the 65% yes to the A-Plan? dont forget they would only unite with GCs under a plan that GC found totally unacceptable and resoundingly rejected...food for thought?
Tell me which law, natural or positive, national or international, moral or written, allows you to think and act in this way.
The human nature/mind is very complex thing as you well know and as long as in my mind I do not trust the intentions of GCs towards me and my community I have the right to act in this manner as a human.
