Cypriots, are neither "Greeks" or "Turks". They are Individuals, who as Persons Turkish and Greek see a value in their identity to this land.

Cypriots are not few, Olcay, nor are they insignificant; there has never been an election, over decades even unnaturally torn apart, where one of "Them" has won an overwhelming majority. This too should not be ignored.

...indeed, you just have to look around you, if you live in Cyprus; living in the occupied territories "Turkishness", like "Greekness" in the south, are a bane to our existence since its extremes have held the Agenda all these years.

...i suggest to you that the Problem is bigger than what is dividing us as Cypriots, that Turkey too is more divided than it has ever been for the same reason. (So too the Ukraine as it is evolving). And a BBF in all these cases has no better solution for their Constitutional reform: where we can be Free as Individuals to defend our Basic Human Rights, and where we have the Liberty as Persons to promote our distinct identities.

So it is with our wealth in Cyprus: the cost and the benefit, while it may be shared it "belongs" to Cypriots, and as Cypriots for them to choose.

...Cyprus along with all its neighbours, are clear; they have already agreed to boundaries that respect international law (ie. UNCLOS) and they have joined together forming the East Med. Gas Forum where an empty chair awaits Turkey (and Libya) should they change their minds.
