...indeed, among us Greek and Turkish, in Cyprus, live those who (as Persons) place a dogma like "Greekness" or "Turkishness" above the notions of a single Humanity where, as Individuals, without distinction or discrimination, we are prepared to defend the values it represents, each other, and our Basic Human Rights as such.

The Problem it seems has been forgotten long ago. And it is not isolated to be a Cyprus problem.

...indeed, it is not a problem between Greeks and Turks, nor is it a problem of "Turks" against "Greeks" (read: non-"Turks"), it is a problem of "Greeks" and "Turks" against Greeks and Turks. Turkey has the same Problem. And as it is evolving the Ukraine will suffer the Problem too.

A BBF (like the USA, which was the very first) is not hard to imagine in Turkey, the Ukraine, (in Russia), and in Cyprus and many other countries. States, based on Principles and the Rule of Law equally representing Citizens accordingly seems natural. Constituencies within these States where as Persons a Majority demonstrates its capacity to provide for Minorities living among them seems apt.

...indeed, Cypriots should be gathering under their flag, the Flag of Cyprus, the one "They" treat as a rag, on the beaches which "belong" to them, having picnics. Cypriots are not few. Let's not forget that despite the years we have been torn apart, "They" have never won an overwhelming majority at the polls. Enosis, the word that means to join together, needs a Cypriot definition.
