Trash Vs Junk

Serious compromise for who? The Greek side was the one that was being asked to compromise the most and it’s not exactly close.

First of all, permanent political equality between GCs and TCs while one is 80% of the population and the other is less than 20% is crazy. Giving the TCs 50% of the senate, veto powers, 50% of the courts is obscene when they are such a small minority, it would arguably make them the single most officially privileged minority in the entire world. It is extremely undemocratic to allow a small segment of the population the ability to impose itself politically on the vast majority just because they belong to one community.

Secondly, one of the most major demands of the GC community was the removal of Turkish guarantees and Turkish military personnel. Which remained open ended so this is again unsatisfactory.

Turkish settlers would receive citizenship and others would receive residence permits. Permanent change of the demographics and legalisation of what is internationally recognised as a war crime.

When it comes to Greek Cypriot property being returned, the number was negligible. 80% of property in the North was Greek Cypriot and was stolen and appropriated therefore this is legalisation of that theft. Not only that but there would be a quota where the GC population of the Northern constituent state would not exceed 18%. Imagine stealing half of someone’s country and then dictating to him that he is not allowed to return because of their quota.

In return for all of this 8% of the occupied lands would be given to the Southern constituent state. So what was asked from the Greek Cypriots was to degrade themselves to second class citizens, give the keys over to the minority Turkish population, accept and legalise the consequences of invasion, occupation and ethnic cleansing and accept and recognise the presence of the Turkish military and Turkey’s new guarantor rights.

Turkey tried to ruin this country, it indiscriminately killed us, kicked us out of our homes, desecrated our churches, stole our properties and housed settlers inside in order to permanently change the demographics of the island, kept fucking with us at every chance and somehow we managed to survive and thrive. Annan was imposed on Cyprus because Cyprus is a weak and small country. No one would have asked for anything as humiliating as that from any “big” countries. You say that because Annan was not accepted we are headed towards war. Maybe you are right but I can also guarantee that if the Annan plan was accepted the blatant humiliation and disenfranchisement of the Greek community would have lead to war much sooner.

So yes this was a shit fucking plan
