Our View: Predictable negativity from parties on Cyprus conference

Tatar asks for "Sovereign Equality", and what is wrong with that?

I ask where is this equal, among Cypriot Constituencies, when no other Constituency actually exists?

Where is this Sovereignty as Cypriots?

Is it unreasonable to ask, who represents Cypriots when the Government, of Cyprus, is represented by Greeks exclusively, except of course the one Turkish Cypriot MEP which won a seat recently?

Is Cyprus "Greek"? Indeed, where is the Greek Constituency?

And as a Constituency would it not have this same capacity to better define their distinct identity?

If Cyprus is to be truly, a BBF, (like the USA, or Canada, e.g.), there is Freedom as a People, Individuals without further distinction or discrimination, and Liberty, where as Persons, they demonstrate toward each other the same respect and trust (by also providing for the special needs of the minorities living among them).

Who represents Cypriots? If left to the opposition, it seems, no one. Yet Disy, and AKEL are no better without moving forward, beyond the smaller Parties, as Cypriots; they too remain in denial, who they are representing: not "Greeks", and obviously not "Turks".

...without Policy, and a Mission that can be supported by all Cypriots they will remain nothing more than contributors to the impotence they all suffer.

It will be the People i suspect who will rise this spring and summer, to represent themselves, against the "Turkishness" (and "Greekness") they will expose, and to demand change. As Cypriots one would expect them to stand in solidarity threatened existentially, under their Flag, the one which is rightfully "theirs", the Flag of Cyprus.

Let's not forget, even divided as they are for decades, Cypriots have always represented something (more) than half of the voting population; something to think about.

Cypriots, finding no representation as Cypriots, may have "picnics" too.
