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.
