...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.

Turkey could carry out ground operations against PKK in Iraq

...right, as soon as a "no fly zone" is established.
I remember why such an effort (by the rest of the world,) was rejected in the first place. Nothing has changed. Iran, Iraq, and Syria, may recognise soon, what Cypriots have had to endure in real terms for decades: occupation troops in the guise of the Turkish Army as peacekeepers.
It is no coincidence that Erdogan chooses to rail about the Treaty of Lausanne at such a moment. Whereas dividing Cyprus would be a tribute to "Turkishness", in the grander scheme of things there is still the prize of a greater Turkey, and him, the protector of this wider sphere.

...indeed, B25 has a point.
Turkey never got over the Treaty of Lausanne, the world stopped for them when that began, where they have tried to recover ever since. Cyprus is a casualty in this war, with what is attainable, even as a tribute, for being wronged.
...Cyprus, like Cypriots, "do not exist", in affect; explains a lot, doesn't it?
Greeks, don't need Greece to live over the whole globe. Cyprus may be Greek by its demographics, but Cypriots are Cypriots. Cypriots are not "Greek", neither "Turkish", these extremes betray this goal, as Citizens of the World.

We are all counterinsurgents now
http://www.politico.eu/article/we-are-all-counterinsurgents-now-isil-jihad-nice-attack/
make a friend, makes ten friends; make an enemy makes ten enemies.
Indeed, balance is needed.
...Lest we Forget; i recall the real enemy, not each other, but Ignorance, Hunger, and Disease.
Thank-you Mr. Brammer, great article; Canada comes to mind, with its Sponsorship Program, where despite the Government Policy, or parallel to it, individuals themselves can take (and took) responsibility, to welcome those in the greatest need of some respect and recognition one on one. My wish, in Europe, and in the USA, that this possibility could exist, that a German, or a Texan would find it in their heart to support one family, or one person, themselves, it would not surprise me that in this way thousands would find shelter, regardless.
...to those who fear Muslims, i say, fear God, that one God and the same. Overcome your own fear or you fail yourself, by ignoring the infinite power of Love in any case , without Grace.
The way is not Christian, it is a Golden Rule.
...Act accordingly, it is not hard to understand if there is an "Us", and a "Them".

...sadly "Turkishness" has reached so low for the Cypriots of Turkish origin, at this point, even a
"Greek" Cyprus represents to them something better. If you are happy with the present state of affairs, you are neither Turkish, or Cypriot, MrH, you are stupid; not a being Human, a "Turk" no better than
those obsessed with "Greekness".
...fortunately, in this case there is "but one". And it looks like "Turkey" may get what you/"you" are
wishing for, a country torn in two; not Cyprus or Cypriots however even after so many years, but Turkey herself,
and in so many different ways.
...fortunately, the world has not lost all dignity, for the rest of us (though we suffer) Cyprus exists. 'Turkeyland' and 'Greekland' are myth.
...wot, not a good time?

Attacks In Turkey

Turkey (read: Erdogan) needs International support more than ever. Once in place, his (deep) state will make nice. It will be quiet in Turkey, it will be welcoming, it will win him the next election coming soon.
...visa free travel did not happen in July, but among other things, it will; question is, Turkey, with a new Constitution, whose will it be, Erdogan's or the Peoples'.
