...it's good news if the President continues this debate by speaking to Cypriots not as a Greek, nor Turkish, but a Leader who can demonstrate a commitment to the value of Universal Principals, which as Cypriots we all hold dear.

...indeed, if he can define a "Turk", let him expose "Greekness" too, because they exist, and they are no different to each other; witness what "they" have done to 'us'.

I am hopeful that such a challenge will see both communities sitting in the Chamber meant for their needs so that they present them in unanimity. And the Legislature, open and complete, to represent us as Individuals rather than as Persons. In acting as a BBF, as such, securing the Constitutional reform 'we' as Cypriots are seeking.

...let us also remember that there is a deadline for Erdogan, the greatness in History he wants to build as a Legacy, because in two years there are elections, along with Turkeys Centennial. Let us also remember that Turkey is torn now, more than ever, by the same "Turkishness" which has torn Cyprus apart decades, and which as a dogma also threatens all the rest of us, being "others".

Cypriots, those of us who see the Problem differently, as "Greeks"/"Turks" against Greeks/Turks (read: Cypriot), are a powerful force actually, representing at least half of the population, anyway it is counted, as electorates. 'We' are not few. And in that regard the 'enosis' that's needed, are these People to express themselves, simply, peacefully, by having picnics on their beaches under the Flag rightfully theirs (actually the equal to Turkey's); who would be opposed to that?

..not Erdogan, i think, his challenges beg for it, don't you think? What would be better for him than 'us' standing united, as Cypriots, with something to emulate in Turkey's own Constitutional reform; this notion of a BBF?
