It looks like you think an equivalence relation always gives rise to a quotient group. That is not true, by far -- it happens only when (a) the set your equivalence relation is on already has a group structure, and (b) the equivalence classes just happen to be the cosets of a normal subgroup.

In your previous question even condition (a) fails to hold; there isn't a group structure in sight anywhere. Therefore it doesn't give rise to any quotient group. (Or at least not in any way that is meaningful given what you write in the earlier question).
