One Hopes that Erdogan's Turkey "will defend the Turkish Cypriots’ rights to the end", as he says.
...and what of the "Cypriot Turks" who are so dependent on him for their own existence?
Turks and Greeks have only to stand as one, the People, in Cyprus, to give him Hope.
...what is the Problem? "Greekness" or, "Turkishness"? They are the same. Such as it is, today, "Greekness" has been defeated, while Turkey has never been more divided, because such dogmas exclude those who are not "them". Erdogan knows this, and he may choose again to board the train he calls "Democracy"; a BBF in Turkey is not anathema to a Caliphate existing in Istanbul. He knows this too.
...while the political elite in Cyprus continue to defend themselves (personally), it seems more a malaise affecting this class of people around the world. But i am hopeful. Such a man as Erdogan may choose, and with a small change in intentions he may find the tarnish staining Turkey's presence removed. In effect, Turkey cannot be "Turkish", just like Cyprus cannot be "Greek"; they are States, based on Universal Principals which defend our Individual Equality. Such as it is he has two years to make this kind of History, in time for Turkey's Centennial.
...indeed, at another level of government, as Constituencies, both countries would be better off having them.
The question remains, will Cypriots have "Picnics" (before his arrival), i hope so; will Erdogan (again)?
