Senator Menendez is to be applauded for his steadfast conviction toward the Universal Principles and Basic Human Rights fostered originally by what is enshrined in the American Constitution: Freedom; what Rights we have as Individuals which we defend as such accordingly as equals without discrimination or distinction, and Liberty; as Persons having distinct identities demonstrating as Majorities toward the Minorities living among them the same Goodwill.
Turkey would do well with a BBF in its own Constitutional reform, as was Turkey's suggestion for Cyprus before the dramatic shift Mr. Erdogan has taken to disrupt the order that the Treaty of Lausanne secured for the whole region, (and the world,) not just (in) Cyprus and Greece.
Let us remember that it was the notion of "Greekness" which brought the misery that left Cypriots divided since 1974. And let us also remember that after the coup's initial success, in three days, it failed because Cypriots, Greek Cypriots in particular overwhelmingly did not support it.
Let us remember most of all that "Turkishness" still remains and demonstrates itself to be as a venture no different to the "Greekness" brought down in effect by Greeks, that as a dogma it is expanding in a hateful enterprise toward supremacy over all "others" including in Turkey itself where Citizens are divided, more divided than ever defined as "Turkish" and those who are not.
