Do people in Cyprus really want a solution asks peace activist

...i remind you only because i want to remind all of us, in effect repeating what you said, its sensibilities at least, ''being'' Cypriot i feel your pain. (I say you are not alone in your intentions while few of like mind speak, so unlike the ''Greeks'' and ''Turks'' who have such a strong representation for themselves), do not despair, be ready; at the time of 'our' choosing such an enosis may rise, (it is natural), it is possible by overcoming our fears and by giving it a Cypriot meaning: together 'we' are a force greater than "Them".

...indeed, the Problem is not isolated to Cyprus alone. In Turkey, (and as it is evolving in the Ukraine for example), a BBF is not a bad idea. Freedom, where Individuals find their representation within a State where without further distinction or discrimination all are equal under a Rule of Law. And Liberty, where as Persons having representation as a Majority, they demonstrate toward their Minorities the same capacity in providing for such special needs as well.

...i remind you so that you may not get distracted by "their" argument(s), falling into this trap; that Cypriots do not or cannot speak being few and insignificant, this is a myth and this is a lie. I think the Greek Cypriots spoke well saying nothing at all: three days, without their help the coup fell. And it is island wide the Cypriot voter who has since then held up their Identity from being usurped by "Them" for fifty years. (Imagine, an illegal regime just like the illegal regime we have but "Greek"; could have been but it is not.)

Yet we are not so lucky with this current threat. Erdogan's notion of "Turkishness" is not a Turkish Cypriot problem alone, (and it is spreading). Because it questions the Universal Principles on which our Basic Human Rights are based, it is a threat which is not just Cypriot but the world's. Turkish Cypriots should not be fighting alone against ''it'', as with 'us' from one fait accompli to another they are about to be swallowed whole (i.e. the protocols), that much is clear (to me)...
