7. The Treaty of Guarantee to be removed and replaced with a Treaty of Sovereignty to be enforced by the European Union. Only EU troops to be deployed on the island.



Which troops? The EU has 27 member states can you imagine the red tape to buy a toilet roll let alone take miltary action with a miltary force they do not have.

Is this the same nato force that stood by when thousands of Bosnians got slaughtered or watch on while the Israelis continue to kick the shit of the Palastinians???

Doesnt make us feel confident that theywould take actions when necessary.

I want to thank those who think my idea is - generally speaking - a good one. I know that the language issue is the major one of disagreement here, but as I said earlier: this is only a suggestion. One thing I do know: Cyprus really is too small an island to be a federation. The people have to live together, and that is - I believe - the best incentive to carve out a truly Cypriot identity with no interference from other countries.
Independence needs to be respected from all sides.

Viewpoint, The EU military and law enforcement contingents would have full authority to (a) defend the island and (b) enforce the laws of the Republic until a purely Cypriot law enforcement body WHICH ENJOYS THE PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE can take over. No stupid rules of engagemet or restrictions, but both would be subject to Cypriot law.

Which EU Military? they are unable to act swiftly the death toll would mount in times of crisis, please do not ask TCs to entrust their security into the hands of a incompetent EU.

What about the "gc's" security? How will their safety be protected? After all it was thousands of them that were killed in the Jurkish Piss Operation. Where are their life-belts?

They can have the EU or Greece or the UN....if we are allowed a choice then surely they should be allowed one to.
