"Nationalism", Lordo, is a living thing. It is even fluid in its meaning. It is a part of our existence as social animals, and as Humans. Denial does not defeat "it", as it is seen in its use by murderers, plunderers and thieves. Justice must be seen. That is why such Heroes who fought against such vile thinking, "Greekness" and "Turkishness", in Cyprus should be revered.

...and if we (the living) listen to the families of the disappeared, Turkish and Greek, a monument will be built to list their names together, also as fallen Heroes, and as Cypriots. (such is Nationalism)

Yes Lordo, i agree, it is from the People, that changes are made. Existentially, i ask, have we arrived at that point, where Cypriots will gather, with or without their Leadership, for such a State, where Cypriots defend each other?

..."they", remember Lordo, were never busy killing each other; they were busy killing "us".

And in a world that is dialectic, i suggest in Cyprus, split as it is in terms of its "Nationalism" right now, "Cypriotness" is its opposite.
