The last mile: the significance of political equality

...and what have we learned as Cypriots? Such as it is, "Greekness" and "Turkishness" have found a way to divide us and leave us silenced to their usurping of such an Identity. But, the result from decades of this brutal assimilation is a People, which despite it remain.

Such as it is with God, the Cypriot way: a choice.

...trust, respect toward each other; those who serve Lovingly.

Indeed, our Faith, as Cypriots, is united. Having many Faiths who stand together in such celebrations are not uncommon here. Yet, our Leadership in all its forms has let us down; on this i will agree. It seems that way because they have taken the position of their worst extremes, and this is a corruption that willfully dismisses what is a simple fact: Persons like Individuals are not so easily defined but by merit. (the words, charity, and grace, come to mind.) That, despite all our differences, there is, (even in a world of many gods, or none,) one God.

Perhaps Individuals, like Persons should not be defined, but recognised, in Cyprus.

"Greeks" like "Turks" are a Political myth, Cypriots are real.

Our View: Erdogan’s visit a clear message to Greek Cypriots

...well said.

Indeed, who does the Republic represent?

Who represents Cypriots, as Cypriots?

Divided as we are, what is left but free expression, for "Greeks" and "Turks".

Indeed, Erdogan is tearing Turkey apart, with his dogma, of "Turkishness"; and all his neighbours feel the same disruptions that Cyprus has suffered for decades now.

For all of us, the rest of Humanity, there is reason to fear such a notion which questions Universal Principals, or ignores them. At the very root of this problem, against it stand the Cypriots, if as Cypriots, they take back the word ENOSIS, that has divided them for so long, if as Cypriots, if as a People united, Turkish and Greek, they stand against "Greekness" and "Turkishness".

...let's talk Cypriot Constituencies, if we want a BBF: Freedom, as Individuals; Liberty as Persons.

Indeed, the People, cannot expect change from their Leadership, without demonstrating for the changes they want, themselves. I expect many "picnics" everywhere in Cyprus (which includes the illegally occupied territories), come the spring and summer. The Flag of Cyprus, the one "they" treat as a rag, i imagine will also figure predominantly. Thusly, Mr. Tatar, and Mr. Erdogan will be hard pressed to deny Cypriots as few. They will be hard pressed to deny Cypriots their Identity, existentially speaking, as well.

Zimbabwe is not a pretty picture, and there are members of the Rhodes family that i know now living in Canada; humble to say the least.

...vast tracks of unused land were not given to the People, (everything was taken instead,) as was the promise, by going against the landowners; and what was taken was taken most brutally, i remember.

I was hopeful, Cap, that Blacks could rule their own lives, that in a world of integration, even more growth; equitably by being more providing.

...but that didn't happen, and the bastard that assassinated his opposition ruled for the rest of his life having died only recently; what of his wife i ask, she is apparently one of the richest women in the world?

This much, i know of Rhodesia, and my opinion.

How does it compare to the Problem, in Cyprus?

...good people suffered. Such a world of "Blacks" and "Whites", like those in Cyprus i call "Greeks" and "Turks", have one intention, to make victims of Blacks and Whites, Greeks and Turks, unlike "them".

Indeed, Cypriot Lives Matter.

Cheers.

Our View: Hypocrisy of small parties miss the bigger picture over talks

https://cyprus-mail.com/2020/11/05/our-view-hypocrisy-of-small-parties-miss-the-bigger-picture-over-talks/ 

.

Indeed, such hypocrisy.

I ask, where is the Greek Constituency? (Who should dare to ask this question?)

Where is there self-representation, as Persons, for Greeks; (or, Maronite, Armenians, Latins)?

What of Cypriot Constituencies?

Such as it is, and such as it will be, the Republic represents its Citizens, without further distinction, or discrimination, as Cypriots, as Individuals and all equal. These the same Principals all Humanity accepts, recognises, and respects. And; at another level of Government closer to home, closer to Taxes paid in effect.

(What is a BBF?)

Indeed, Greek Cypriots, like Turkish Cypriots, have no representation as Persons, yet.

Notions like "Greekness" and "Turkishness" have proven to be over decades costly to the interlocutors. (And most costly to Cypriots, let's not forget.) Cypriots, despite much denial, remain, not few, but about half the voting population; this, despite the unnatural divide: the assimilation that has gone with it toward keeping them divided.

Who represents Cypriots, as Cypriots?

(What is a Nationalist? What is a Patriot?)

...DIKO, like the "Greens", may want to look at, who, they want to serve.

DISY and AKEL, should do the same.
