Bicommunal rally calls for resumption of Cyprus talks

...finally, people with the political maturity to stand together above their so-called "Greekness" or "Turkishness"; the other half, as i like to call them, Cypriots as Cypriots.

One hopes that the Leaders understand that beyond the Agenda such as it is, beyond the interlocutors that have their influence, in the end it is these People, Cypriots the world recognises as the victims of "their" intransigence. The Problem may be complex, yet it is very simple; it is a question of Justice, seen.

The solution will be, if "perfect", the template that serves to change the face of politics in Turkey, and more widely in the region itself. Cyprus is small, but it is ignored at "our" peril, those of us not "them".

What is a BBF? It is the recognition that as Individuals, whoever we are as Persons there is an obligation to respect, trust, and defend each other as equals, (because in effect (and affect) we are one race, as Humans,) where there are Rules of Law, and Universal Principals. While there may be many Cypriot Constituencies, even in a geographic sense, self-representation is not anathema to ''them'', being beyond this identity as "Nations", as Cypriots, a State, where they are Cypriot. Thus, two levels of government, even with many governmental bodies is not complicated, or so hard to understand. Canada, the USA, and Australia, come to mind, as BBFs, being successful, (with their Peoples as a People,) each in their own way.

...what is clear is that Cyprus is not "Greek", it is not "Turkish" either, as these few will have you believe. It is an ethnosphere. This is something to think about because, even at a faster rate, compared to our ecosphere, our diversity, ethnically as people, globally, not just in Cyprus, is headed toward its complete destruction, without attention, or stewardship, also headed for extinction.

"Tomorrow" has been for most of my life, and for these people who demonstrate, a sorrow. And it has been not easy, as a Cypriot, at times to face such seemingly hopeless efforts, every day, with the joy that a loving heart contains toward a world that has so much to offer. Millennia Cypriots have remained, let's not forget.
