Indeed, the question becomes: Who represents Cypriots, as Cypriots? Where is this Identity demonstrated?
I remember Mr Anastasiades' first inaugural speech, where Cyprus and its identity was placed above any other. Since then i have watched this man struggle, as President having to wear two Hats. What remains for Greek Cypriots to decide about, and for themselves, is "who" they are: "Greek" because they follow some dogma (of "Greekness") which excludes all others, or as Cypriots join with Turkish Cypriots who are facing the same threat of "Turkishness".
Where is the Communal Chamber, and (at this other level of Government) where is a Greek Constituency, as a Cypriot Constituency, as Persons an equal to a Turkish Constituency? I ask the President, what could be better for Cyprus, if he was free to act, and to be seen to act, for Cypriots, Individuals who seek to defend Universal Principals and their values as their own? Must he be representing "Greeks" just because he is Greek?
...to "be" Cypriot, has no shame compared to "Them".
Indeed, as Cypriots let's remember who "Their" victims were; not each other for the most part but those not "Them". No solution, no resolution can be found without this acknowledgement from "us".
