..what of the Treaty of Lausanne? While Erdogan has "tossed it out a window", as he has said, what are his motives? Indeed, looking at the maps he considers, it is total supremacy of this sea, (and a share of the Aegean, as well).
...monopolisation of Cyprus' wealth? Look to the greed and the ignorance which has made "Turkishness" something quite different to the Turkey found in that treaty. What with so much of Turkey's desires having been linked to Cyprus, the Problem as such may result in Turkey's recognition of a Cypriot People (among other things). Likewise in Turkey, Constitutional reform, where, the Alevi and the Kurds suffering the same anxiety as those in Cyprus not "Turkish", find relief, and, as a Turkish People. After all, the maximalist approach (for "Turkishness") he is taking, is certainly beginning to focus minds, throughout the region (and indeed, the world).
Indeed a comprehensive solution to this region's problems would be welcome. Witness the East Med. Gas Forum. Who would imagine Egypt, and Israel sitting with Palestinians, Greeks, Cypriots, and Jordanians, (among others), in unity, so quickly from its advent, and successfully, (despite Turkish meddling)? In a region which is sorely lacking of it, this is Hope.
Indeed, let's be clear, Erdogan intends to stand firm, for the monopolisation of Cyprus' wealth.
