I would like so much, to understand who is Mr. Akinci. I remember his election, it was more a referendum, given Mr. Eroglu's position and his. Now he seems isolated, and those who voted for him accordingly.
The question remains, is he a "Turk", or Turkish? Is he Cypriot? And now, what is his plan 'b'? My hope is that he has the courage to remember that, those "Greek" and "Turkish" are no different, that Cypriots voted for him, and that as a Leader he can choose to no longer remain silent, for "Turkishness", as is expected of him.
...a better Statesman, i think, in Mr. Akinci's position would challenge the status quo with new ideas. He would challenge us, as Cypriots. He would accept that Cyprus, and these People exist, and while he supports and leads a Turkish Constituency where as Persons they seek to promote this distinct identity, they are mindful that as a majority, with an Agenda, it includes the recognition and respect of the special needs of minorities living among them. He can demonstrate as a Cypriot a willingness to make change, as Persons, being better Individuals.
If Mr. Akinci is a Cypriot, not "Greek", not "Turkish", but as an Individual, a Citizen of this State, i beg him to stand behind this Flag, when calling for its Constitutional reform.

Akinci lashes out at ‘aggressive’ Anastasiades
https://cyprus-mail.com/2019/04/10/akinci-lashes-out-at-aggressive-anastasiades/
.
...what does Mr. Akinci not get? It is simple. If he wants to reform the Constitution he can demonstrate that he is a Cypriot.
...i am left, from the day he was elected, wondering, who he has become.
Who can deny that Cypriots voted for him, and yet, since that day (and that angry phonecall), it is for "Turkishness" he speaks exclusively.
Who can forget his ridicule of Mr. Anastasiades for wearing ''two hats''. And while Mr. Anastasiades defends all Cypriots as Individuals, and as Persons he, in the negotiations also represents the island's Grecophones, Where has Mr. Akinci represented himself to Cypriots, a Cypriot, and as such, Mr. Anastasiades' equal, to Cypriots?
He is at this moment, a servant-slave, a parasite, in Erdogan's mind. He must choose.
...is he Turkish, or, a "Turk"?
He can stand beside the Flag of Cyprus. He can say for once that "Turkishness", that which has divided Cyprus for decades, is no better than the "Greekness" he abhors. Cypriots are not "Greeks", and they are not "Turks". One thing is clear, both treat this Flag equally as a rag. And if he continues with his "mentality", who is he betraying?
...i ask Mr. Akinci to remember, i ask all of us to remember, that while the "Greeks" and "Turks" were busy on their killing spree, who is it that they murdered, and made to disappear? "Greeks"? "Turks"? Each other? No, not them, but Cypriots, for "being" Cypriots; this is something to think about.

Bicommunal support for Nobel nomination for TC journalist

...indeed, beside the "Greeks" and the "Turks", there are Greeks and Turks like this woman, who call themselves Cypriot. Indeed she is a real Hero, fighting Ignorance, the ignorance which keeps us apart.
...i am grateful to Mdme. Uludag, For those of us who are Cypriots, who believe in reason, in Universal Principals, a Family of Man, she gives hope that such notions remain uncompromised by a world weary of the Problem; what constitutes a People, as Individuals and as Persons.
