Stop the hate.

Let others be ...

let others be, what?? better people because the take bold steps to embrace change for the better?

...i am not so proud of being Greek because "Greeks" choose to sustain an elite which resists the changes they must make in themselves toward a betterment that is Universal; in my opinion, very unGreek.

...i hope Greeks will realise that a Forum for their Expression exists as a Constituency, that this is the step which seperates, in Cyprus, the State from looking at its Citizens as a vast majority being "Greeks" because their adversary as the debate is now framed are "Turks", focusing instead on Cyprus itself, toward its credibility as a Sovereign Representative without distinction or discrimination. if there was a Greek Constituency, recognition for other Constituencies is possible by Territorial Jurisdictions, with an equal opportunity to sustain their distinctions as people. (surely you'll agree that Greek Cypriots will be held in high esteem for this). Cypriots need to fly their Flag because it identifies a betterment to the Principals, as Human Beings, they live by. Nation/State, Person/Individual, Liberty/Freedom: these are central to a Bicommunal way of life; it is not a "Greek"/"not Greek" issue, and as Cypriots this is the commitment we have taken, to define BBF to the benefit of all Mankind.

This a very easy concept it goes like this:

Gc state= constituent state
Tc state=constituent state
Federal government supersedes both states in certain aspects such as: foreign trade, interstate trade, federal taxes...foreign diplomacy/ foreign ministry

The tc state would consist of cantons throughout cyprus.

That's still a partitionist solution and the majority of the GC people won't accept it.

Because the proposed system is not unitary. it's just another version of the 1960 Constitution, or the 2004 AP, or the current status-quo.

Federation is only acceptable if it's not discriminatory based on ethnic background.

Anyway, I don't really see why we even need to consider a federal system in a tiny country like Cyprus.

really you have no idea why federal solution is required. have you tried talking to some tcs. try looking at how the tcs are treated in the south and perhaps you can begin to understand. but first take off your hellenic glasses and ear muffs you muffin.
