It does not necessarily mean that it will not lead to two separate states either! And in my opinion the increase of the checkpoints from 3 that they are today, to 10 if the Anan Plan was adopted combined with all those restrictions in settlement and return of refugees would actually lead to a situation of two separate states in disguise.

See how little you know?The Northern part of
Nicosia capital was not predominably inhabited by TCs, but of GCs! The 3 Northern suburbs i.e Trachonas, Omorphita, and Neapolis, were predominably inhabited by GCs also. What the TCs had are those few villages outside of Nicosia that you mentioned.
Upon the leaving of the British the TC community got half a million pounds from the British in settlement of all their territorial disputes regarding the Famagusta area. To realise what that amount meant consider that you could buy 1 donum for half a shilling then. Kutchuk got that money and started bying land massively to the North of Nicosia upto Gonyelli in a clear effort to form the first nucleus of a state within a state. If that was not a preparation for taksim (during totally peaceful years) then what was it? This in the end created the first and biggest enclave in Cyprus, that served it's purpose fine during the 1974 invasion....
So instead of reproducing one sided Turkish propaganda, just think what would you do if you were a TC leadership during those times, to fill up that vast empty area with your people?
I am sure you know the answer already. If I were one I would first do a "Bayraktar camide bomba patlamayi"
