Turkey is bankrupt

...if as you imply generally speaking, the whole world has gone to shit, Turkey is bankrupt and so too the rest of "Them"; in such corruption it is a matter of confidence instead.

Erdogan, (at this point,) in effect to have a lasting Legacy, must save the World so to speak and he can by demonstrating the qualities of a Statesman, not for his "brothers" and not for any other International cabal but for 'us' (and in his own State the People); exposing "This" for what it is, by changing intentions solving his Problem in Turkey for starters, that in the Ukraine, in Cyprus, and dare i say it the land once Jordan's as well: needing Constitutional Reform what is wrong with a BBF i ask?

...one that respects the identity of people as Individuals who, as Persons demonstrate the same respect toward each other.

Government ire at ‘all Cyprus could be Turkish’ comment

...unlike Putin's Russia, Turkey did not make the invasion an existential question for "Greeks", and thus it was possible to establish an (illegal) regime for "Turkishness", in Cyprus.

...and now Mr. Erdogan laments what could have been if Turkey had the Armed Forces they have today, he is bragging actually, (with him in control) how much they have grown; seeing Ukraine, as it is today "Russia's" predicament, he knows better but he can't help himself.

60-year-old embargoes on Turkish Cypriots spiteful and unfair

...indeed, we did live well together before the "Greeks" and "Turks" took on their cause for "Hellenism" and "Turkishness". I remember, with pride 'we' our village were Great Cooperators, there was trust and respect among us, we worked well together, we were in effect self-sustaining despite the 'taxman', the 'agent', and the 'others' who did not care for our collective tradition, a "mixed" village we were called because "they" found it strange.

...indeed i remember, with Cyprus 'ours' in three short years there was asphalt on roads, a light in the kitchen, and water for drinking just outside my door. (Something the British had not provided.)

...indeed, i remember those who stayed behind when the invasion started, because they were Cypriots, because they believed in greater Principles as Citizens of the World, in a Family of Man. They, are our Heroes. I do not forget that either. And i ask why there is no memorial for these murdered and missing where we the living may mourn together these men women and children for who they are (and who 'we' are) because they did not die as "Greeks" and "Turks" but at their bloody hands.

Who speaks for 'us' the greater half actually, the Cypriots who vote as Cypriots Turkish and Greek even unnaturally divided over decades never once choosing one of ''Their'' candidates overwhelmingly? This is the Problem. It is not a problem of Greeks vs Turks, or "Turks" vs "Greeks", but how Greeks and Turks are ignored by "Greeks" and "Turks" who hold the Agenda.

...indeed i ask, who would be against it if Cypriots took to their beaches to eat souvla together and under the one Flag that is rightfully theirs, the Flag of Cyprus; ask yourselves, ask yourself.

Tatar: No one can stop the Turkish Cypriots from achieving their own state

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/03/08/tatar-no-one-can-stop-the-turkish-cypriots-from-achieving-their-own-state/

.

If anything, Mr. Tatar is misrepresenting Turkish Cypriots who in effect do not support the efforts he makes for "Turkishness".

...indeed, "Cypriot Turks" like to think that only "Greeks" are Cypriots, "Greeks" in fact would like the rest of us believe that too. But it is not the case, as we have seen over the decades because not once have Cypriots swayed on either side of the "Line" by voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates.

And where is the Greek Constituency, like a Turkish Constituency, to nurture their distinctions and to demonstrate as Persons their respect for the minorities that live among them?

...indeed, as Individuals, with a State without distinction or discrimination, we can defend each other under a Rule of Law. Being a BBF, even more, we can demonstrate the same trust and respect toward each other at a second level of Government, as Persons, as well. (The EU, for example is a BBF, so is the USA.)

Mr. Tatar is mistaken, he deludes himself if he believes that his Ignorance will be accepted because the World is as Ignorant as he is. He asks the wrong questions because he is not a Cypriot; if he did he would have all that he is asking for.

Talat: Turkey’s Cyprus stance ‘a complete fiasco’

 

https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/03/06/talat-turkeys-cyprus-stance-a-complete-fiasco/

.

Distinctions must be made between "Cypriot Turks" and Turkish Cypriots, just as there are "Greeks" and Greeks who live on this island too; this much is true.

...of course the "Greeks" and "Turks" will never join in unity.

But, 'we' can. Enosis, in this context is not a dirty word...
...and a Cypriot meaning exposes "Them" to their corruption.

"This" is at the root of the Problem which in Cyprus, as it is in Turkey, and as it is evolving in the Ukraine a matter of intentions, a question of Universal Principles that are being challenged by "Persons" over 'our' identity as Individuals, in affect, denying us as Human Beings the notion of equality, of having the same needs as a minority or a majority by "Their" elite and "Their" dogma(s).

(Dare i say in Gaza we see "Its" most extreme results.)

Let's not forget that Cyprus is still Cyprus because even after all these decades of being unnaturally torn apart Cypriots vote as Cypriots never once voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates. And Cypriots whether counted as two peoples or one, it is clear that, they are neither "Greeks" or "Turks"; this is also something to think about.

...i dream of elders, men like Mr. Talat who will join together with 'us' the People on our beaches having picnics under the one Flag that rightfully belongs to all Cypriots, their flag, the Flag of Cyprus.

Who would be against such a notion ask yourselves.

...'we' are not few as "They" will have the world believe;

Cypriot lives matter too.

Debate over Cyprus-Israel film agreement heats up

...so that it can be demonstrated some stories in life touch us all; stories worth telling.

Just like the Problem in Cyprus it is a war of "Jews" and "Arabs" against the notions of Jews and Arabs.

...i do not believe all Jews are "Jews" and all Arabs are "Arabs"; i suspect you do.
