Anastasiades: unity is key to stopping Turkish provocations

Unity, to what end?

If it is to rid ourselves of the "Turks", we must not forget the "Greeks" among us, because they are the same in their intentions toward usurping such an identity, a Cypriot, that it might not exist.

What will stop "Turkish Provocations"? The People. Cypriots gathered as one under the Flag rightfully theirs, the one that "they" treat as a rag. Such a demonstration will only hearten Erdogan, that such an opposition actually exists; with his challenge(s) toward us, those of us as Cypriots who do not see ourselves as "Greeks", or "Turks". After all doesn't Turkey have the same Problem with its own efforts toward reform, being a State, and having Constituencies?

...what more can he do? Action usually results in equal and opposite reactions. By now i would have expected "Picnics" on the beach, souvla made exquisitely by Cypriots Turkish and Greek; what better way to demonstrate that Cypriots exist, and that they are not few, that while "Greeks" and "Turks" exist as well they are not "them".

...indeed, coming from the President i ask, what is the unity he is talking about, and to what end?
