...so much we know, so far.


Dearest President,

My hope is that you will consider how "bizonal" can be defined so that the repopulation of the island will include the return of communities (, as well as individuals).

It is possible to secure our freedom of movement, and association with the addition to our geography of enclaves.

Militarily it will not be possible for two opposing forces to escalate their interests behind a defended position where their power is exclusive because with enclaves there will be no "Border" as a frontier (but rather, many frontiers).

It will be possible for every citizen, of whatever ethnicity to identify themselves with Cyprus as a whole, given a map much like as it is today, but spotted.

Addressing the issue of the displaced, from the 60's and 70's is the most important issue in terms of a need for Justice to be seen. In any solution there will be tens of thousands who will also need some consideration in their displacement. Enclaves will provide for good planning and for the development of the island with the future in mind.This Problem cannot be solved with monetary compensation alone. And the Patrimony which will be lost forever by tearing the island in two has no measurable cost, the loss to Mankind would be tragic.

Since two National Assemblies will define themselves by a territory overwhich their Jurisdiction will be to serve one community as a majority, it is possible to de-link the occupation of the land by the Turkish Army, in a manner where territory is lost and gained reciprocally by both parties, and the exchange provides for them a satisfaction in that what is "Turkish" is sustained and in the change there is a chance for it to prosper.

We need a State which is strong and is credible to represent our interests as this island's dwellers within the Global sphere. As individuals we need this State to be our defender and our representative in bettering these Rights as partners within the larger Family of Man. Yet our identity as Persons needs its nurturing, too; I think Mr. Talat will agree as well.

Enclaves provide a change in tact which will end the impasse, as a 'fait accompli'.

A euphructory right may solve many issues with the movement of so many people...

...In cases where families have suffered missing and murder, their Rights to retake possession of what is their's, deserves immediate redress (and in the manner they choose), but in most (many) cases, (inside and) outside of the enclaves, I would guess, "ownership", rather than use, will be the primary concern.

Humbly, I hope this is of service to our cause.

I remain steadfast, warmly.

Respectfully Yours,

...




are enclaves a good solution, if we must choose, between them, and the island divided in two?

Very Good RW but the real rulers of Cyprus are: Turkey, Greece and the UK so we should be addressing them:
Christofias and Talat are just show ponies!

Hey RW, I am reading about a proposal made by Makarios to Turkish Cypriots before 1974 and after the violent period between 63-67 where he suggested a federal structure bi-communal and multizonal. The proposal of Makarios reminded me very much what you are suggesting.

[repulsewarrior]

stav will you post this proposal for me?

better yet, will you start a thread dedicated to posting these proposals, if you are reading many.
