"When people vote, they should be neither Greek (GC ) nor Turk (TC) ...... but individuals ...... above all else, the right of the individual should be respected, no matter what community they finally affiliate with (for day to day existence).", OP
True!!!, in my Cyprus so long as you are a Citizen, toward the State you will be identified as an Individual, only.
Voting thricely, each citizens votes for a Turkish Cypriot representative, a Greek Cypriot representative, as well as an Independent representative.
"So you propose to have us TCs scattered all over the island in enclaves surrounded on all sides by GCs?", eric d.
not true, having enclaves scattered over the whole island implies that Greek Cypriots can return as communities in the north without destroying the fabric of the society which will surround them. Turkish Cypriots will have the opportunity to development land for their society's prosperity island wide as well with their enclaves in the south.
most importantly, I think is the recognition we can give to the displaced reciprocally by this change to our political-geography, and homes can be offered to the Settlers and those that will be displaced instead of houses.
"Will not the 'traitors' include a large section of the GC population?", deniz
"just EU members resident in Cyprus .... using their one vote to have a say!", OP
Both true, although our founding is a commitment to change, and people as Cypriots, and as Tc's and as Gc's are to be accommodated.
