Dearest President,
...exciting times, the willingness to make change exists, everywhere; yet.
"This" must stop.
I ask you to "be" Cypriot; to speak to and for 'us': the Turkish and Greek who support neither the "Turkishness" or "Greekness" which leaves us as a People no more, torn apart. Cypriots exist, they exist in greater numbers; think about it: in all these years "being" artificially split, never once betraying themselves in elections by voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates. Cypriots as Cypriots have existed millennia.
(Who represents, them; I ask: but you.)
...and it is time. There is room in our politics for a Greek Constituency, at another level of Government an equal to other Cypriot Constituencies, such as a Turkish Constituency, (i'll add, you should not be wearing anymore two hats as the President because Cypriots are not Greeks alone, Cypriots are Cypriots and they are not few deserving proper representation beyond the present dysfunction); what is a BBF about, but, 'our' Freedom: as this island's dwellers, as Individuals without any further discrimination or distinction and, as Persons in Liberty demonstrating the same Principles of Humanity, as majorities toward their minorities respect and trust. Indeed it is our Constitution which needs reform; its workings are there for it (two levels of Government), the People exist and their intention (what is; the 'larger' half), the mission is the same: a State, within a larger Family of Man representing our willingness to live under a set of Principles and a Rule of Law that are Universal beyond the Nations individuals may identify with themselves. What is missing is the courage to look beyond "these" divides which in effect is/are artificial: Cypriot lives matter, they live across the island, (still).
...Turkey would not refuse, it is what she is looking for in any case; the perfect solution. What is a better template than Cyprus' reform for their own reform, it is their National Issue; and given the Problem, in the Ukraine, and in the territory once called TransJordan for example, some Hope, guidance, something all people do find worthy, something to emulate: an achievement which would be much to.Erdogan's credit.
Frankly, i believe thinking such as mine is not too hard to understand, it is a Cypriot way, (it is what the youth are thinking,) and beyond that it is the way; it should not be taken lightly. In my mind, you may find in it the inspiration you need for bold first steps, as 'our' Leader.
...so i will leave you with this link, true today as it was true then,
Most Respectfully.
...and as always, Warmly,
RW
