Large majority of TCs want negotiations to resume, according to CMIRS
80.9% of TCs want negotiations on the Cyprus problem to resume and 64% believe that annexation to Turkey is not a good thing, according to the results of a three-month survey by the Center for Migrants, Identity and Rights (CMIRS).
The second part of the survey, conducted in June with a sample of 500 people in face-to-face telephone interviews, is on the Cyprus problem. According to the Yeni Dusen website, in a possible referendum on a solution, 67.11% said they would vote yes.
The Cyprus problem, in the June survey, was considered the third most important problem for the TC community after the economy.
According to the Center's director, Mineh Yutzel, it is significant that 69.1% of respondents believe that the TCs are not the only "hostages" of the Cyprus problem, while 60.79% believe that the GCs are also "hostages" (trapped by the lack of a solution). However, 30.65% believe that only T/Cs are "hostages" due to the Cyprus problem and 39.21% believe that only E/Cs are "hostages".
Yutzel also noted that 40.81% believe that there is a possibility that "the north of Cyprus will be annexed to Turkey", while 84.2% believe that annexation "is not a good thing". 15.8% do not share this view.
19.1% believe that negotiations on the Cyprus problem should not start immediately.
