South’s President Wants the Right to Take Over the North

By Dominic Freeman

Anastasiades, under the guise of Human Rights, says that he will not put an Annan Plan type solution in front of Greek Cypriots as it will fail in a referendum. He talks about the four fundamental freedoms and human rights, the right to free movement, free settlement, the right to employment and the right in general of each citizen of a European country to move freely without restrictions. In other words, the right of Greek Cypriots to move to the north and therefore the right for them to dominate any vote there in the future.

It is not inconceivable that after a successful referendum, Greek Cypriots will move to the north en masse and become the majority there as well as in the south. They can then vote in a Greek Cypriot orientated government with a Greek Cypriot Prime Minister and MPs.

No one is explaining how this can be prevented. To be honest, no one is explaining anything. Anastasiades said:

“The solution will be a compromise, a painful compromise, but at least this compromise should be honest and there can be no honest compromise without the acceptance and respect of the acquis communautaire. To this end, I will never accept to put before the people any plan which in my view will lead to a new rejection by the people. “

It is the term ‘acquis communautaire’ which will create havoc. It is sometimes called the EU acquis and often shortened to acquis. It is the accumulated legislation, legal acts, and court decisions which constitute the body of European Union law. The most important of this legislation is majority rule through the voting system. I can almost see our reader ‘Miltiades’, just like the majority of Greek Cypriots, nodding his head furiously and believing ‘yes, that’s how we’ll dominate Turkish Cypriots again!’

I would have described Dumbo’s sentiments in a much more graphic fashion , only my …good friend Malcolm would not like it.

I ask Dumbo this simple question.

Does he believe that the many minorities here in the UK are ” dominated” by the majority ??
Hey Fool, like it or not the concept of majority rule is the predominant fundamental principle of Democracy. No nation other than dictatorships function without democratic rule. It exists right here in the UK and in the rest of the civilized world you brick !!

Jerry, I hope you are right. Time for a fair settlement and the healing process to begin.

Only one problem with your statement Milti and that is just because you have majority rule does not give you idiots carte blance to treat people as you wish, I know that will be hard for people with your mind set but you simply can not do as you please. happy
