Yes, but even Greece is not quite at a wealth level comparable to Turkey yet.
Their economy has taken a blow, but Turkey's has a much lower base value.

And are having problems with Syria at the same time.

But the Republic of Cyprus officially claims to be the only authority of the whole island, which would include a significant Turkish population. But it shows how they are sincere about this claim, by ignoring the existence of the Turkish population. I would have no objection if they officially named themselves '' The Greek Republic of Southern Cyprus '' or something and gave up their claims over the Northern part with a Turkish Cypriot majority. For example, the sovereign state on the North is officially named '' The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus '', which has no claim over the South. This is much more reasonable.

That's not an option.

Everyone always says "Cyprus is Greek" or "Cyprus is Turkish!" but why can't Cyprus be... Cypriot?

Just an idea...

That's one of the two possible solutions, yes. They give the towns with a Turkish majority away to whoever wants to have them, and they govern themselves. The ideal solution for any cultural or ethnic conflict - give different ethnic groups self rule and don't Yugoslavia all over the place until everyone starts killing each other again..

Give it over to Britain, and we'll integrate it into the Empire when the time comes.

Cypriots aren't a separate ethnicity!
Half of them are Greeks and half of them Turks/Colonists from Anatolia

Who said they were a separate ethnicity?

How about you get your army bases out the fuck of my country? Cyprus has always been Greek, Turkish-Cypriots are a minority, they came as invaders in the medieval times and again as invaders in 1974. You want equality? Well, shove that equality up your ass.

Neither Greece or Turkey want to rule Cyprus :eyebrow:

They support two sides of Cyprus though.

And the international community blames Turkey for being an obstacle to the solution in the island...

Colonists ? oh, that's a pretty biased description. Turks have been there for 600 years. Even before the America got under European colonists' hegemony.

What?

I defend a Cyprus in its integrity, not a british colony, nor a greek island, nor a divided state.

by **Divair** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 9:01 am

Give it to Canada.

by **Liriena** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 9:01 am

Northern Cyprus is not a real country. I refuse to recognize its existence. Give its territory back to Cyprus.

That is all.
