In all honesty not really. The Republic of Northern Cyprus does not claim to be a government/administration of all cypriots, but only of the Turkish Cypriot community. If it claimed to be a legitiamte government/adminsitration of all cypriots and there was a significant % of Greek Cypriot here (say more than 5%) then yes I would see some hypocrasy there, but as things are now I do not see this as hypocrasy.
I think these people should be treated fairly and equaly as indivduals (and better than they have been in the past though I believe this has improved in recent years) and should have local political control of their local affairs, but I do not believe they should have political equality with the Turkish Cypriot community in the Republic of Northern Cyprus or that this is hypocritical. |

If you are willing to accept this for another community and not for yourself then I believe that is hypocritical. |

I am willing to accept this for both communites in the 'unatural' situation we currently have (two seperate 'states'), for Greek Cypriot in the north and Turkish Cypriot in the south. I am not willing to accept it for a reunifed Cyprus. |

That is what I am referring too. Reunified Cyprusis light years away. After civilization on Earth has been destroyed by aliens and then reborn again. |
