Cypriots exist. They are neither "Greek" or "Turkish". The reality is that they have no representation for themselves at the moment, divided as they are. Indeed, what do the "picnics" Erdogan has in mind provoke, in them, their leadership being so predictable? This is the question which i imagine will be answered soon, free of COVID, and the temptation of the beach, together as Cypriots eating souvla under their flag, the Flag of Cyprus, the one rightfully theirs, the one "they" treat as a rag, a chance to express themselves.
If Cypriots do not join against the existential threat, (and to expose the "Greeks" and "Turks" among them), Cypriots will be no more. If Cypriots do join together (taking back the word "enosis") it will change not only the politics of Cyprus, but Turkey too, being Turkey's National issue, giving Hope to them, the Turkish People, now torn apart for the same reasons by "Turkishness".
...pretty words are what Mr. Erdogan expects (from the rest of us). Yet, he would not be disappointed if in Cyprus we can define a BBF where as Individuals we are united in defending our Freedom, and as Persons our Liberty, because there is mutual respect and trust. A BBF in Turkey, under such terms, would be something to think about.
