...so long as it is possible to facilitate the social-exchange of our neighbours, and allies, Cyprus should do so. My hope is that this island will be demilitarised one day, that there will be no need for its People to defend themselves, that way. It may be that the island will evolve to be supra-militarised with the world so intent, it seems, on exploiting it as a location where the one of the many interlocutors, gain an advantage over their adversaries (as though Cypriots don't exist). On the other hand intentions count for something; Disaster, Terrorism, Hunger, Disease, Ignorance, even Climate Change, as enemies may find their center here.

If you believe that the Treaty of Lausanne was unfair, indeed, what of the Modern World? Mr. Biden said it right, upon visiting the island, for everybody, "but one", Cyprus and Cypriots exist.

...it is not the Gas and Oil off the coast of Cyprus, that concerns Turkey per se, it is her "share" of the Eastern Mediterranean, as it is Greece is next, let's not forget, so too Syria. What with the Barbaros, off to practice Submarine Warfare, it lends an explanation to the work of the Piri Reis before her. While Turkey may be an ally to the USA, Erdogan is no friend, and while he is democratically elected, it seems as though what is not "Turkish" enough, (even if it is Turkish), is to be crushed if it cannot be denied, corrupted, or plundered.
