…it’s true, the illegally occupied territories of Cyprus are beautiful and worth visiting. Doing it responsibly is worth the effort. Helping Cypriots by giving them your business means avoiding the casinos and luxury hotels that profit only the elite closely associated to Turkey’s most corrupt.

While you may meet many “Turks” and “Greeks” who will tell you differently, Cypriots exist. Having had their identity usurped from them is the Problem Ukrainians are suffering today, divided by those “Russian” and “Ukrainian”.

Enjoy your visit to Cyprus. It is not hard to do the right thing, especially in the northern part of Cyprus if you make the conscious choice of knowing to who you are giving your money and support.

Cypriot lives matter.

“A very important period is beginning” on Cyprus issue, Stewart says

.

...indeed, it is the beginning of a very important period, for the Problem, not only in Cyprus, but in Turkey and in the Ukraine; a solution for "it": such a notion of a new beginning through Constitutional Reform.

...i dare to suggest that Cypriot unity against the "Greekness" and "Turkishness" which are the bane to their existence is possible. Mr. Stewart may consider the fact that even after all these years of being unnaturally torn apart, Cypriots all across the island have never once given "These" candidates an overwhelming majority. While the myth is that they are few, the truth is they choose to be silent (or silenced by fear) except at the ballot box where as Cypriots they have not failed themselves. Simply put, they would already be "Them" if they wanted to be. Representation for Cypriots is important; i do not despair having the UN's attention and the EU's because it is an issue of Basic Human Rights, and a complex one with big consequences, for which as yet they persevere.

...indeed, an equal to a Turkish Constituency, among Cypriot Constituencies would include a Greek Constituency.

...and in deed, a State, such as the Republic of Cyprus would represent its Citizens as Individuals and without further discrimination or distinction.

What is wrong with a BBF i ask: represented as an Individual and as a Person, represented as a State and represented as Nations demonstrating Goodwill in Goodfaith toward their own minorities, Freedom and Liberty.

...indeed, what of Turkish Constituencies in Turkey, and of the Ukrainian Constituencies?

"Turkishness" has no definition, as it is written in the Turkish Constitution. Erdogan has sought to define it, and in so doing move away from the Kemalist grip on Turkey, replacing it with his own.

...Ataturk is but a shadow in these rivalries, his Principles and values have long since been forgotten (or more likely ignored).

...one hundred years of Turkey, where is it now but on the brink; i am hopeful frankly, the Problem will be solved.

Cyprus proposal has little traction for EU

...''be'' Cypriot. As hard as that is, it is what 'our' President must do.

While the "Turks" and the "Greeks" find such a notion absurd, the other half would welcome the courage this man might offer as a Leader who has committed himself to represent them: as Individuals, equals as Persons perhaps but, without further discrimination or distinction.

Cypriots exist. It is Cypriots who have kept such a notion of their identity alive despite being unnaturally torn apart, by never as voters giving these extremists Turkish or Greek an overwhelming majority after all these decades. In effect 'we' are not few and insignificant as "they" would have you believe. And 'we' may yet speak for ourselves, the People, if our representation, as Cypriots, continues to be ignored by a political elite that would rather define us by the mythic notions that keep us apart, (keeping "them" in power).

...the EU like the UN can do nothing, but support us. Supporting 'us' they cannot support "them", but 'we' must be acting for ourselves expecting such solidarity. The solution thus comes from within; if our leadership are blind to it from 'us', whether it is the Cyprus problem or the Problem itself. Actions not words will define us as Individuals, if we are prepared to defend the Universal Principles Cypriots have given their lives for as innocent victims in a hateful cycle of violence by those who question its value.

...are 'we' to ignore Turkish Cypriots because they are Turkish? They are at the vanguard against "Turkishness". Our only strength against "them" is that as Cypriots united such an example may end "Turkishness" in Turkey too.

Cyprus solution possible if state sits at table with TCs, Letymbiotis says

...it is not the leadership that should be sitting at the table, 'our' concern. Nor should our anticipation of such a moment be the focus of our attention; in affect a Pyrrhic victory. In effect, it is up to us the People to speak for ourselves, in effect demonstrating the change 'we' want from them.

...enosis is just a word. If it has a special meaning in Cyprus it has yet to be defined by Cypriots, while "Greeks" and "Turks" have found in it the means to usurp this Identity; i wait for Cypriots to join on their beaches to make souvla.

...who are you? Ask yourself if you value the Universal Principles that make us as Individuals equals and Free more than the security of being a Person, in ''being'' this collective having Liberty. Think about it, this is the Problem.

Divided as "Greeks" and "Turks" 'we' have no Freedom.

...such as it is for the other half Turkish and Greek, without our individual acts of kindness one to the other waiting for "Them" to resolve their hatefulness toward "others".
