...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.
