Overseas Cypriot minister thrives on the Canadian dream

.

...indeed, this success in Canada is no dream. Canadians are Canadians because they stand together to defend the Universal Principles on which they can all live, Free.

And let's remember that Canada (like the EU and the USA for example) is a BBF. Not Persons alone, in Liberty neither "English" or "French" but a whole host of Constituencies who as majorities demonstrate their Goodwill and Goodfaith toward the minorities who live among them.

...intentions count. We should remember the Problem but it seems we do not having become the "Cyprus problem" as though this same strife is not at the root of Turkey's problem never more divided by "Turkishness", or in the Ukraine where "Russianness" demonstrates the same intolerance toward the notion that as People we are equal, (and that we have bigger enemies to fight than ourselves like Hunger and Disease; Lest we Forget).

What is the Problem? In Cyprus it is not about Greeks vs Turks, nor is it about "Turks" vs "Greeks", it is about "Greeks"/"Turks" against Greeks and Turks who are Cypriot; something to think about. And let us never forget that even in this dysfunctional and divided state, it is Cypriots that have kept this notion alive, of Cypriots, despite the decades that have passed: they have never given their vote in overwhelming numbers to "Them". Cypriots exist. Turkish and Greek they live across this island (still).

...enjoyed reading this story. I don't doubt, that such a man as Mr. Nicolaides would agree with me.

Diaspora conference: US federal democracy can be model for Cyprus

...it is heartening to me to see that such thinking has been brought to the floor.

Indeed what is a BBF but Freedom as Individuals and Liberty as Persons; what is the USA (the very first).

...and what is the Problem in Cyprus, the same problem for the People of Turkey, and as it is evolving for the People of Ukraine (as examples); it is a problem of identity, as in Cyprus it is not a problem of Greeks vs Turks, nor a problem of "Turks" vs "Greeks", but a problem of "Greeks" and "Turks" against Cypriots Turkish and Greek.

''One thing I cannot stand is ignorant cunts who blame the whole community for the actions of a few.''

...enough said.

And yes, the so called TC not at all unlike so called GCs are colonizers, and worse, Traitors.

...traitors as Cypriots, traitors to us all as Humans.

Cypriots are Cypriots and it does not matter "What" you are. (It is intentions that count.)

...indeed, what is the Problem in Cyprus is the same problem all over the world: "This" (in Hateful manners) must stop.

It's an old story, perhaps timeless; it should have ended, Lest we Forget.

...and those who choose "This" above the Universal Principles the rest of us follow have as their single intention plunder.

Govern Yourself Accordingly, i say; to you Lordo, and to anyone else who may ask.

Pyla: Assault on UN soldiers ‘violation of international law’ (Update 6, video)

You gotta feel for Mr. Colin, i do not envy his position at this moment, but i remain hopeful.

...not the "Greeks" not the "Turks" but the Cypriots he's here for; those silenced and silent except at the poles who have never betrayed each other or themselves Turkish and Greek even after all these years of being unnaturally divided by voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates even once.

...and what is the Problem that is the same problem in Turkey and as it is evolving in the Ukraine? It is an issue of Identity; what is an Individual, what is a Person. It is not about Greeks versus Turks in Cyprus, it is not about "Turks" versus "Greeks": it is about "Turks" and "Greeks" against Cypriots (Turkish and Greek).

...and what is a BBF?

Ask, if there exists a Republic, the State, 'us' defending Universal Principles, our Freedom as Individuals, in need of Constitutional reform, and if there exists Cypriot Constituencies, given a Turkish Constituency seeking equality with equal(s), Liberty, as Persons having the same needs, where is a Greek Constituency?

Mr. Tatar (for his own Legacy) being a better Statesman may consider such a notion quite profound, given the world's need for a solution, given Turkey's need for Constitutional reform, "Turkishness" having left her never more isolated and divided as well.

Archbishop says new approach needed in Cyprus Problem

...he speaks to the Leadership and not to the People with this advice; the same anxious frustration 'we' all feel.

Nothing can be done alone if the Church has taught us something, and its strength comes from this Unity: the way, service to God. He would be blessed by our Hope Turkish and Greek if he remembers us the Faithful, true Patriots serving Lovingly, unlike those "Greek" and "Turkish" who from "this" Ignorance murdered those more reasoned.

...in all the decades that have passed, who has kept us from becoming "Them" but 'us'?

Neither a question of Religion or Ethnic Origin; the Problem in Cyprus: it is about "Greeks"/"Turks" against Cypriots Greek and Turkish who (as well) see the 'oneness' of Man.

...in effect, 'we' must ''be'' Cypriot.

Indeed the allure of "Their" dogmas are inviting; such corruption is everywhere. As such, each of us has a choice to make in our acts and association: with Cypriots, and with those who call 'us' ''others''.

...so too the Archbishop, with the other shepherds to gather their flocks together, against the wolves.

...'America', what is fair, has its basis in accountability. There is a big difference between Americans and "Americans".

"Their" plunder of 'us' knows no border; don't blame Ukrainians, the results there from"Ukrainians" has only produced the same results.

(Don't blame Cypriots who suffer from the same Problem.)

UNSG to make move to solve Cyprus problem before mandate up

.

Cypriots want better, Cypriots want change, Cypriots want ''This'' to stop.

Enosis, the notion as a Cypriot one seems so appealing to me, Cypriots joining against "Them" to expose them.

...who is against Freedom; who places our dignity as Individuals beneath the dogmas they may believe?

...who is against Liberty? That as Persons, as majorities, they should be mindful of their minorities' special needs.

What is a BBF? I dare to say that the US is one and the very first; so too the EU, Russia, Canada, to name a few.

...now, our Leadership and around the world need to see Cypriots, the People, demonstrate their will clearly.

While "They" define 'us' as "Greeks" and "Turks" let us remember that Cypriots by voting as Cypriots have kept us together decades now, even unnaturally torn apart; it is something to think about because 'we' are not few.

The Problem is about "Them" against 'us', and in Cyprus that would mean "Greeks"/"Turks" against Cypriots Greek and Turkish, who may value their distinct identities but who as Individuals value more the Universal Principles on which our Human condition is based. (There is no shame in standing under the Flag of Cyprus.)

...who treats 'our' Flag as a rag i ask; ask yourselves: it should not be 'us'.

President says coherent front necessary for a Cyprus solution

Step by step, a worthy man builds his home in patience and lovingly. Such pride has its own reward. Like Moses before the storm his struggle is ridiculed by those who imagine ''their'' lives go on forever. Faith in values that are Universal is a lonely path to take; what is a Patriot requires such commitment unafraid.

...thank-you Mr. President; i am hopeful.

TC Famagusta mayor ‘still undecided’ over demonstration attendance (Updated)

"They" are exposed, those of 'us' who are Cypriots now know more than ever what malice is in their hearts.

...what are these "Greeks", 'we' find ourselves fighting with but "Turks"?

...a "Green Line", an illegal occupation, an invasion and a coup, also illegal; usurped 'our' Rights by those who place "Turkishness" and/or "Greekness" above the Universal Principles which define us as Human: this the Problem.

"Greekness" may have been defeated when their coup failed after only three days because the Greek population of Cyprus did not support them. "Turkishness" remains. Imagine Cyprus had the "Greeks" been (truly) successful? ''Being'' Cypriot, should mean a lot more to you thinking about this, and thinking about ''them''. If anything has been learned as Cypriots, we should not leave Turkish Cypriots alone to fight the "Cypriot Turks", especially now; i'll add.

...a rocky start to be expected; people joining as People: yet it begins (i hope), Cypriots through their actions defining their own meaning (taking back the word) of enosis.

Outrage over Turkish Cypriot invitation to anti-occupation event

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2023/08/03/outrage-over-turkish-cypriot-invitation-to-anti-occupation-event/

.

Ironically, EDEK by using the Constitution in defense of their argument have opened Cypriots to the notion that it is a basis of debate; they are not the only ones who may take it so seriously.

...indeed, Cypriots may turn to the(ir) Constitution and consider its reform, rather than the "new" Cyprus "Greeks" and "Turks" have failed to provide over all these decades.

...indeed, the illegal regime will twist these events (as they are apt to) quite cleverly, the Government will weather the criticism it will undoubtedly suffer whatever the outcome.

But the people as People speak; that's change. And it exposes the fact that the "Others" are no different against it.

The Intractable Conflict In Cyprus

https://theowp.org/reports/the-intractable-conflict-in-cyprus/

.

 ...an informative article, but one objection;

While Cypriots have been unnaturally divided, and after all these decades, one thing is clear to me, Cypriots are not few or insignificant, as the "Greeks" and "Turks" would have you believe. Silent or silenced, at the ballot box Cypriots, Turkish and Greek have never voted for "Their" candidates overwhelmingly. Cypriots like any member of the Family of Man respect and defend these values and Principles which are the foundation of our Basic Human Rights as Individuals. And as Persons beyond their Freedom they seek Liberty as well; with their distinct identities to demonstrate the same Goodwill in Good Faith toward the minorities living among them (as Constituencies) by recognising and providing for their special needs as well. .

The Problem quite frankly, is not hard to solve; it is a matter of intentions. 

What is a BBF? The EU is a BBF, Canada and the USA (the very first) are also BBFs, (so too Russia).

...a solution to the Problem, in Cyprus, like in the Ukraine, or in Turkey never more torn apart by "Turkishness" is needed. What is the same problem beyond Cyprus is the Problem, the Cyprus Problem now relegated to being ''a problem'' (and having attached to it many more objections on more issues) is the Problem where those who question the world's Universal Principles by dividing 'us' have ''their'' priorities put to the top of the Agenda.
