...indeed, it looks bad for those not "Turkish" living north of the "Green Line". "Turks" may celebrate their dependence on Turkey, or to be more accurate, they appreciate the personal wealth that results from such an effort.

But, with a small change of intention, and all of it becomes a gift, to Cypriots, reparations, recognition and respect, much to the esteem of Turkey's international partners; don't forget, to Erdogan you are servant-slaves.

The issue is not so black and white...

...or, in effect it is very clear; what exists is a Republic of Cyprus, a Greek Constituency may exist, and it may someday seek the same kind of self-representation as a Turkish Constituency is seeking today, yet, it, the Republic in any case represents Cypriots, it demonstrates their commitment toward the Universal Principals which define equality among all people without discrimination or distinction, whether the representation as Persons is a Liberty, in Cyprus, or not.

Mustiejodu, i suggest that Turkish Cypriots, like Greek Cypriots have the same worry, those who are Cypriot must at this moment decide what it is that they want. Things will change, they cannot stay the same being unnatural, and there is a huge potential to be unleashed if as Cypriots, Cypriots are willing to defend each other as Cypriots. There is the opportunity, in representing a Cypriot cause, to satisfy in Turkey, and in other conflicts that are ethnically charged not unlike Cyprus, the criteria where they too may see the good in good intentions, as a BBF. Thus, a "Turkish Franchise" may exist to serve that specific population, (like a "Greek" Charter, or a "Maronite" Charter, if such Cypriot Constituencies were founded). Some (Turkish Cypriot Franchises) may find that they meet the criteria of a Cypriot one, others will adapt to greet a wider market. Each authority would have its own credibility, in any case. Nothing should prevent success, from merit.

(Beyond "this", is also a choice.)

Personally speaking, when you criticize (all) Cypriots (not "Turkish") as "Greeks", i feel insulted. I am not a "Greek". I know that "Greeks" and "Turks" are the same, and i know that i am among the other half, represent them as you will, they, are Cypriots.

...I feel you, (and "you",) forget sometimes the difference.

I'll add, there is no "Greek" way and there is no "Turkish" way, they are not mutually exclusive; there is, a Cypriot way.
