Two things come two mind that Turkish Cypriots can do for themselves, instead of a boycott:
- they can vote, and express themselves; by destroying their ballot.
- they can stand under the only Flag that is rightfully theirs, peacefully; whether Greek Cypriots choose to join them or not.
...and, those who call themselves, "Cypriot Turks" have quite a lot to worry about, like the "Greeks" in Cyprus, who imagine(d) Cypriots Greek and Turkish as few. They are not. And they are the last to speak; when their leadership proves impotent, they will, i think, speak for themselves. They may indeed join together, come next summer, to make souvla on their beaches. Why not?
Such as it is, it is Turkish Cypriots the vanguard for this change, through unity. Beyond the Nation for a State, acts which demonstrate this Grace are needed, against the ''Turkishness'' ("Greekness" too,) which haunts all Cypriots everyday, as it haunts millions in Turkey today Turkish but not ''Turkish'', needing hope, with something to emulate which Cypriots, as Cypriots, may provide. Such as it is, indeed, it is Turkish Cypriots which may turn Turkey around, thinking about it; not the reverse.
