I guess you are replying without reading one another´s post. Ogrenci doesn´t suggest division as an alternative. He/She emphasized the importance of being able to live together.

There are minorities in any country. The best bet would be respecting the cultural uniqueness and cultural differences of those minorities. We denied the existence of Kurds for years when it was so obvious. Our bright thinkers came up with the idea of labeling them as mountain Turks though it was so obvious that they were not Turks. Books were written to justify the thesis that Kurds were mountain Turks. For many years, nationalist professors taught students these theses. This  bigotry is more specific to the Balkan nations than it is for the Middle East. The patriarchal, chauvinistic past of the Balkans produce these funny theories by distorting historical facts. It is like a disease and it is a costly one.

Wasn´t it the Canadian military that were mandated to be the peacekeeping preseance?  I know that the Canadian military were on Cyprus from 1945 to the mid to late 90´s but at the time they were confused as British military.  And Canada´s presence on Cyprus did not elicite any objection from the Turkish or Greek Cypriots, Canada was considered a neutral presence.

Cyprus was Canada´s longest peacekeeping mission.

But separation will be a costly solution, he told the Hürriyet Daily News in a recent interview.
