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.
