Tatar says working hard to get diplomatic recognition

...poor Mr. Tatar. I am waiting for him to make himself a fool suggesting his social-economy is acceptable as it is, to the EU, as an equal to the Republic. I am waiting for Mr. Erdogan to make a fool of him on an International stage, as he did to Mr. Talat, (who remembers the Grand Prix in Istanbul?), and Mr. Akinci, (presented as the "President of the TRNC" at an International Gala, but not important enough just one week before to sit at his daughter's wedding). But perhaps, this time it will not be Erdogan, but the People who will make him look small.

Perhaps i have a long memory, i think it is a Cypriot trait. I ask, how long will it take for Cypriots, Turkish and Greek, to understand that those "Greek" and "Turkish" are one in the same, that like Mr. Tatar their values are not Cypriot values, and that existentially, this Identity, Cypriot, will be usurped from them silenced.

...how long will it take for Greek Cypriots to join with their brethren at the very root of the Problem today, in the occupied territories, to declare, as Cypriots, that such a People exist no longer silent, under the Flag rightfully theirs, and as people, peacefully, in solidarity and in public demonstrations, exposing this fact to "them", to the other half, what elections have revealed for decades, that their delusion as "Greeks" or "Turks" who believe that only "they" may define what a Cypriot will mean, (that Cypriots in their minds are very few), is wrong.

Mr. Tatar is Erdogan's man; how will he feel when again banners say Assiktir Turkiye with thousands behind them.

...and who is Tufan, who came in third; i am very hopeful that AKEL will help his drive to keep Cyprus united, taking again the opportunity to join with all kinds of Cypriots, (as an example, what they did to find a candidate, now Cyprus' MEP a Turkish Cypriot), like DISY, a party not necessarily for "Greeks" who must follow in finding Cypriots as support, fellow conservatives who can agree on such a (read: their) Platform for Cypriots.

...and let's not forget the youth, what "Turkishness" represents to them. Such a dogma is an anathema to what they want in terms of Freedom, what expresses the love they have for Cyprus, and that as the (future) stewards of this island what they see as better reasons for remaining united, a People who live as people by the Rule of Law, as a State based on Universal Principals, and as Individuals, equals, without further distinction or discrimination.

...if i was Tatar, i would ask, where is the Greek Constituency? (If it is a BBF Greeks are seeking;) Who represents these Persons called Greeks? Who politically is his equal if a President represents Cypriots as a whole?

Indeed, what of Cypriot Constituencies? All of them, i imagine, have the same basic needs toward promoting their own distinct identities. Who doubts that Cypriots, with such a "mentality" could not find a Cypriot solution if Sovereignty was not on the table. But, Tatar seems at peace with being a "Turk", and i am not Tatar.
