...indeed, some of us wanted the end to our subjugation in Cyprus, the war stopped there with our Freedom.

...i recall the story of Grivas from his brother, how ''it'' began; retired, having returned home, shot at while in a radio shack by unruly British troops, dismissed by their commanding officer and ignored as a trivial complaint.

...imagine his disappointment, so much he admired the British, and their discipline. But this was not it in Cyprus, he felt humiliated, and so the big idea started, the guerrilla war, open season anywhere on British uniforms.

...i remember that family well, how EOKAB tore that family apart, how they stick together, and beyond '74 how that worked out; "being" Cypriot in a "Greek" world is not easy, ("being" a Cypriot in a "Turkish" world is that much harder).

What's done is done.

Cypriots must identify that "this" must stop. Cypriots must identify themselves as Cypriot (first), Turkish or Greek; no "Greek", no "Turk". Cypriots are the vanguard, as they have always been, facilitators of exchange, socialised, and great cooperators; we are an ethnos, we are Greek speaking, and Turkish, Arabic and Latin, (and yes, English) as roots, too: the crossroad to three continents, (and all the world's religions); it is no wonder that it is the interest of so many interlocutors, tiny as it is. To win, we may even have to fight those not Cypriot, for what is Cypriot.

"(h)Asiktir Turkiye" does anyone remember? Today would you join these Cypriots, the very vanguard, there in the occupied territories, as Cypriots, standing together under the Cypriot Flag, the Flag of Cyprus?

(i have asked this question before.)

What message does that send to Erdogan, if we stand united; if there ever was a single person for all Cypriots to focus upon as the Problem?

The People, people as People, as Cypriots, by making this clear, we are a People; Erdogan has what he wants, Cyprus an ally, Cypriots respected, recognised worthily, something he can emulate in Turkey, having, itself, Constituencies.
