...who are Cinel Senem Husseyin and Koray Basdogrultmaci ? They are constituents, your constituents. Brave, unknown patriots who you should meet along with many others in the occupied territory, that we may learn from. Cyprus is not "Greek". Cyprus is not "Turkish". 'We' are Cypriot. ...picnics Fidias, i am waiting for picnics on our beaches. (...and who would be against that?) Indeed, we (read: you) can do it.

Dearest Fidias, ...you will not find unity among the Leadership; "Greek" and "Turk" they have divided us as a People. And beyond that they are divided among themselves, for power. But, you will find unity among the people themselves. ...picnics; what Erdogan begs us to do, on our beaches to show ourselves, Cypriots who do what they do so well making souvla together, and under 'their' flag, the Flag of Cyprus, the one "They" treat and have treated as a rag. ...my best advice to you, sir, as an MEP, is get out and mingle, your Constituency is Cyprus, the Cypriots that live within this territory, 'our' island: the "Green Line" does not define a border, it defines an illegal occupation. Never forget the vanguard then, the Turkish Cypriots who have never once betrayed themselves by voting overwhelmingly for even one of "Their" candidates. They exist and their numbers make them many not few. Think about that. They should not be fighting alone, "Turkishness" (and the "Greekness" which represents its equal), think what 'we' can do standing together; "it" is our common enemy as Cypriots and as Citizens of the World: what is the Problem. ...ask yourself, are you a "Greek", or Greek; and who do you oppose, Turks or "Turks"? Cypriots are neither "Greeks" or "Turks". Cheers!

...there are Cypriots on both sides of "the line". Like "They" are the same, 'we' are the same. Don't be fooled by the flawed logic that Turks are "Turks", and you are wrong if you believe all Greeks (should be) "Greeks". Despite the mythic reality, that Cypriots are insignificant as they are few, realise that if that were the case, in elections despite the unnatural divide, the assimilation and decades, they would have decided long ago that such an Identity, "being" a Cypriot, was not worth keeping.
...if you are Cypriot there is one way forward, and that is ENOSIS, to take back the word by giving it a Cypriot meaning.
...let's remember that Erdogan begs us to show ourselves; to rise up above the rank corruption of our leadership who are profiting from the adversarial positions they take, to show "Them" the change that ends their grip on our thinking, to take over our own lives: picnics on our beaches i say. (I hope that Fidias can do it for us, being young, our MEP, and so open-minded.)
...Turkish Cypriots are the vanguard, the greatest threat to "Turkishness" that Erdogan faces because they have never betrayed themselves by voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates; this is fact. More so, should they see themselves joined by Greek Cypriots against the Turkish occupation as Cypriots themselves, Hope would be the result, a big step forward against those who question Universal Principles and basic Human Rights.

...and so it is a small stall of ''traitors'' gather through song, good coffee, and zouki decades, trafficking their Joy.
...crowds grow, and in sitting together there is no shame; for this something bigger than ''themselves''.
...indeed i am hoping for picnics where souvla can be served to thousands (because Cypriots are not few and insignificant); on our beaches eating a meze together: who would be against that?
"This" is the war here and elsewhere; if we are not one of "Them" 'We'/we fight through reason lovingly: Lest we Forget.

...there is always that fear, for Cypriots, that Greece may stumble and with their talks (alone) with Turkey they may betray 'us' in Cyprus (again), securing an Agreement good for "Greeks"; as though splitting a baby in two is a good thing.
...this is the Problem, here, in greater Palestine, in Turkey, and in the Ukraine; to name a few. Intentions count.
.
...indeed, the "Turks" and "Greeks'' are really good at what they do; keeping 'us' apart.
...like Madame Holguin let us remember the Cypriots, about (at least) half the population as voting goes over the long decades, who have not once given an overwhelming majority to even one of "These" candidates; these are the Citizens which merit her attention, those too few as "They" will say (given their Agenda) because 'we' are Individuals willing to defend as any Citizen of the World would the Universal Principles on which our Basic Human Rights are based, and "They" (as Persons first) do not. This is the Problem.
...but, it is not up to the esteemed Madame to decide for 'us' the miracle that brings us together as Cypriots and as Human beings. It is souvla on our beaches that will bring us together, picnics, enjoying the food we make together, those of us who will not betray the notion that Cypriots are Cypriots, that while as Cypriots (mostly) we are Greek and Turkish we are not ''Greeks" or "Turks".
...and where is the Greek Constituency, among Cypriot Constituencies, (a second level of government) an equal to a Turkish Constituency, that Mr Tatar should be asking for? Where is his respect for Cypriots? The other half so to speak, their desire to be represented as Individuals (as well) matters too: whether he chooses to be representing "Cypriot Turks" exclusively or not ignoring them the part of his own Constituency which did not vote for him is Ignorance.
As a Statesman being educated he should know better his Political Science, and what a BBF means to all People seeking Freedom, who, as Persons toward each other in this unity wish as well to sustain their distinct identities in Liberty by demonstrating as majorities their respect and trust toward the minorities that live among them; ...of course intentions count.
And given how, for "Turkishness", Cyprus was torn apart, how Turkey is tearing itself apart, and how the Ukraine (Putin's "Cyprus solution") is being torn apart by "Russianness", (n.b., and what of "Greater Palestine" if you will), a BBF, such Constitutional Reform worth emulating from Cyprus being held in such esteem, given its importance to so many, most importantly beside Cyprus' reform, reform that also changes Turkey (and on which, as well, he may build a widerworld Legacy for himself being recognised as a Peacemaker of such scale), it should be more inviting to him.
A Cyprus united is a Turkey united i suggest: Hope for the region and the world. Likewise, a Cyprus divided is a Turkey divided: something to also think about.
