Occupied Cyprus: How Turkey has destroyed Christian cultural heritage

...enjoyed reading this article. It lays out a story of suffering and injustice anyone must suffer faced with the Intolerance of those who place their own dogmas above the notion that we are all as Humans no different in our needs. "Turkishness" like "Greekness" have left the other half, Cypriots, with their Identity usurped, their country torn in two and silenced. This is the Problem. Treated only as Persons, as Individuals they cannot be Free. ...today, Ukrainians are quickly burying their dead where they lie so that the dogs which roam the streets will not take them. Civilians (and soldiers) wear ribbons on their backs to reduce the risk of being shot at by some; this the result of Ukrainians suffering the same fate now defined by the "Ukrainian" and "Russian" extremes. Men like Mr. Erdogan, and Mr. Putin must know this, and in the Ukraine, they may end the Problem peacefully too. One hopes a man like Mr. Zelenskiy can see further than them, for his own State, and for the People of so many countries divided the same way.
