Turkish-Cypriot Leader Demands Recognition for Occupied Side

Whether Mr. Tatar will agree to anything the "Greeks" may want is one question. Another is what his own constituency wants, where only half are "Cypriot Turks", the other half are Turkish Cypriot.

...this may become very apparent this summer if he and Mr. Erdogan go too far; Cypriots, the People, may have "picnics" too.

The opportunity is there for Mr. Tatar to have his two states, equal Cypriot Constituencies, but under one State, another level of government where Cypriots, not as Persons, but as Individuals defend their Freedom, rather than their Liberty.

If he cares to leave a Legacy bigger than the Cyprus Problem itself he can, by uniting Cypriots, giving Hope to the Turkish People themselves, with what "Turkishness" is doing to Turkey now, and what it is doing to Cyprus decades already; they too, seek Constitutional reform divided as they are: in effect as a State and as its Nations a BBF is most inviting.

...as it is Mr. Tatar's "self-governing region" is not a self-sustaining entity, nor is it independent; it is a misnomer.
