...thanks Paphitis; i am glad that you can at least express yourself openly and with reason. It is all i can expect. And while we disagree about this issue, it is the dialog that is important.

Cypriots need to find each other, they need to express their solidarity for Cyprus. If you believe that Cyprus exists then Cyprus is the ground under your feet, even in the occupied territories. That's the way i look at it.

Only Cypriots can return their country to order, not their Leadership it seems, after decades. And yes, since flags have taken a very important place in this debate, it will take the People to demonstrate, with this Flag, their Flag, the Flag of Cyprus, to these very Leaders, their desire.

...i would like to speak for myself, and i want to end the division that is based on "Turkishness" and "Greekness". I don't need anyone to tell me how to be Greek because a Greek knows better than to describe himself, but as a Citizen of the World; is it different for Turks, not "Turkish"?

...and who is the enemy we face, all of us, is it not Erdogan? He fears the Turkish Cypriots the most, because they (still can) define themselves not as "Turks"; and in doing so provide Hope to those in Turkey who suffer the same Problem. Would you not support a man, if he had the courage to address all Cypriots, who says it clearly, under the Flag of Cyprus, I am not "Turkish", but Cypriot? Certainly not those "Greek" and "Turkish", but the rest of us, why wouldn't we?

...all i am saying is, Akinci has been isolated by "them" because he is, it seems their antithesis; playing the fence is no longer his option. He could lead Turkish Cypriots to a peaceful resolution with Greek Cypriots, by "being" Cypriot.

...anyway, such a proposition is completely radical, likely not to happen; if it did, i would hope that you would change your mind.

i dare say, this issue is important to me.
