Akinci agrees with Borrell on need for dialogue

I wonder if Mr. Akinci realises what incredible power he has in his hands.

...that he has the power to define, not just for Cypriots, but all Turkish speaking people, who, by Erdogan's definition of "Turkishness" are something less, Hope; about half the Turkish population of Cyprus, and about half of Turkey.

...that he more than Ocalan represents the biggest threat to Turkey, as it is seen through the eyes of those who see the threat to "Turkishness" coming from all "others"; that he may be Turkish but no "Turk".

...indeed, if he were to stand under his Flag, by right, as a Cypriot, the Flag of Cyprus, what a stir that would be: who would join him, who would he expose ("Greek" and "Turkish")?

...and if he, as such, having the support of all Cypriots sat with a contemporary, a Greek Cypriot having the same support, who would they bicker (read: dialog) with but those against such a notion? (That would be change at least.)

And with the fate of Cyprus, hanging in the balance, why not, this election?

Who dares wins.
