EU and UN are losing patience

...chirping on about the Cyprus Problem, as though it is about "Greeks" and "Turks", is a false debate. The Problem has grown to be much bigger than that.

While the EU and the UN have good reasons to feel some sense of frustration, it goes beyond finding a solution for the displaced, and the land that is being illegally occupied, in Cyprus.

It is Turkey's acts, which from the advent, that have spiraled this problem into an expansionist policy designed to create a "new" Turkey, out of the demise of the Treaty of Lausanne, (and Cyprus). What else can one conclude from the disruptions, and hostilities she(he) actively takes with all her neighbours, or from the rhetoric Erdogan has made to define his claims?

Cyprus is not the Problem, but in Cyprus the Problem may be solved.

...the Problem is "Turkishness", and the Problem is "Greekness", because in Cyprus they have been demonstrated to be the same. While "Greekness" became a spent force with the coup's success ending in failure just two days later because "Cypriot Greeks" do not exist (in any significant number), in fact, Turkish Cypriots, have been silenced, by the "Cypriot Turks" since being divided.

No need to be impatient with Cypriots, those not "them"; they too have demonstrated their commitment to the Universal Principals, august institutions such as the UN and the EU are founded upon. They are not the Problem.

Elections are coming, soon. Again, it will be a referendum between Turks and "Turks", (like it is on the other side of the Green Line, "Greeks" and Greeks). And again like Greeks, Turks, will show themselves to be in significant numbers, that they do exist, as Cypriots. This, after decades of their assimilation and being unnaturally separated is something to think about.

...indeed, patience is running thin, for some let's not forget a whole lifetime, thus in these elections i would expect the worst will happen to those who treat the Flag of Cyprus as a rag. Cypriots may take the words back from "them" (Enosis and Taksim) with the simple gesture of standing in unity for Cyprus, under its Flag; exposing those who cannot do the same. Who but the "Greeks" and the "Turks" would be offended?

Turkish Cypriots can choose to lead the way for the end of the divisions in Turkey herself, in this election campaign, what with how "Turkishness" is now tearing even Turkey apart. But it will take Greek Cypriots in great numbers to join them in this fight to demonstrate this political notion: as in Turkey, there is one Cyprus.
