Our View: Talking about your good intentions on Cyprus talks is not enough

...indeed, let's remember Mr Eide. Certainly Cyprus, the notion that Cypriots exist across the island invites the question of what would happen if as the People they represented themselves, instead of allowing their leadership to leave them divided under the fallacy that as Cypriots they are few and as such insignificant.

...truth be told, should Cypriots decide to demonstrate under their Flag, the one that "They" treat (and have treated as a rag for so long), they would be a force to be reckoned with: "Turkishness" (and "Greekness") would be exposed for what they are. More importantly Cypriots by taking back the word "Enosis", from "Them", demonstrating publicly in their streets peacefully and on their beaches together, giving it (enosis) a Cypriot meaning, as such forms a very powerful message which cannot be ignored.

...i ask, if there is a President for all Cypriots, and given that there is a Cypriot Constituency which seeks to nurture as Persons their own distinct identity, where are the other Cypriot Constituencies who could stand in unanimity with them regarding their equal need for recognition? And as majorities presenting such Constitutional reform to the President, to represent the respect and trust they have for the minorities living among them, providing in their Agendas for these special needs as well, who would refuse them?

...thinking out of the box means, "being" Cypriot, and being a People, standing together wanting change.

I do not despair because despite the decades, it is Cypriots who have kept 'us' from being divided most unnaturally, by voting as Cypriots. Otherwise we would already be divided: yet "Their" candidates have never won a clear majority from their electorate even torn apart as it is; quite remarkable actually.
