...interestingly, it is hurriyet, that has published news (again) of Akinci's position with some substance.

“The establishment of equal, not a hierarchical, relationship between Turkey and Cyprus, is a factor that will strengthen the bonds of friendship and sisterhood,” Akıncı said.

“It is clear that it will not be possible to ensure the recognition of Turkish Cyprus in the visible future. Two separate independent sovereign states within the EU discourse also cannot be described as a possible formula in this respect,” he said.

Stating that the federal settlement is the most realistic solution model under the current conditions, Akıncı emphasized that “this [federal settlement] has become a necessity for the region.”

...if he is clear, will he stand with the Flag of Cyprus behind him? Despite "being" Turkish, or Maronite, Armenian, Latin, or Greek, is it possible to be a Cypriot too?

...and what if there are Cypriot Constituencies? Why not a Federal Government as well, where, instead of Persons, Citizens have representation as Individuals? Is this not a BBF in its purest and most ideal form? Indeed, is it not the model Turkey needs with its own Problem, never mind the Problem in Iraq, Iran, and Syria, (as well as Israel), speaking of Constituencies and Constitutional reform?
