..i am waiting for the day where Turkish Cypriots take the vanguard against the "Turkishness" which has as a dogma done as much harm as "Greekness" to their identity.
...Cypriots, if you are old enough to remember are a loving people.
Yet, despite the notion that they are few, as voters they represent about half the voting public any way it is counted. Something to think about; that Cypriots exist over decades, despite the "Cypriot Turks" and "Greeks" amongst them. And that standing united as Cypriots, "their" corruption is exposed.
...two states in Cyprus can exist, and they, as the People, can be one.
What is Cypriot? Such as it is, what is Turkish? It too, as a State, needs Constitutional reform, and has its Constituencies. Turkey, like Cyprus, is neither "Turkish" or "Greek".
...also something to think about: that the Flag of Cyprus, and the Flag of Turkey, (like the Flag of Britain or Greece) should represent the same values; being/"being" Human beings.
Freedom is not the same as Liberty, let's remember. In a BBF Individual Freedom, and Personal Liberty are both defined. As a People, in Cyprus, Cypriots know this; only "Greeks" and "Turks" resist.
...indeed, "picnics" come to mind, a good souvla on the beach, this summer; something Cypriots do best.
