...no overwhelming majority of voters for the President, and a good voter turnout.

It is good news. Mr. Christodoulides too, will take this into account; one thing is certain, Cypriots are united on the issues where they want change. And, to have a lasting Legacy he must make changes in himself, to be a (better) Cypriot, if he wants to deliver on his promises. Much can be said of the Turkish Cypriot, at the vanguard against "Turkishness" in that regard. It is hopeful that during his campaign he visited such leaders in the occupied territories. I will be watching how these relationships grow, as i will be watching for the comprehensive changes in our Institutions that will free them from any self-serving purpose favoring one Person over another. Indeed, neither "Greek" or "Turkish" must he "be", but beyond that a Cypriot. Young as he is he does not remember the time before this unnatural divide. Yet, i expect him to appreciate how much Cypriots need him to be their representative as Individuals, (being their President), whether it is as a Constituency that he was elected or not.

Thank-You Mr. Mavroyiannis for your excellent campaign. It was worth it. Your cause is 'our' cause; Cypriots made that clear by getting you to the second round, and by leaving the new President a lot to think about, winning as he did without a landslide. In any case, the Problem remains; as a Patriot i imagine you will continue your fight against it.
