I grew up in Canada, in my teens I remember every one of these treats, and everyone of these experiences.

...yet to this day i miss most my Cousin of those days, my brother who lived right next door to me, in the village we were never more happier, also gone.

Life was simple. Life did not make sense; it was the sense. This the kind of Hippy Revolution winning in Canada spreading all over the World and the world, then.

Physics in a candy bar, this the Canadian way: this ''then'' i am so lucky.

...yet these rules changed more and more to profit, this ''then'' no more, just ''what's good for you''.

...this i can tell you.

You would think "we" would have learned ''it'' by now much better.

...at least Politically.

Israel, e.g. today i learned, support Turkey's view alone in ''our'' matter, that Cypriots never existed being that Cypriots in name are Greek alone.

...so too the ''Jews'' i say, those Jews who support those views just like those Turks who believe in this them of each other. That neither are the Human they are expected to be without this Reason.

And,

I believe in God, serving such a notion alone seems worthwhile, to me. If it is not all together, should there be a difference any other way?

...this land, Cypriot, this land, Cyprus, they say is neither Cypriot or Greek, it is ''theirs''. Neither ours or Ours.

What times there are to prepare for, the progress to leave behind if such things as goodness are to survive.

Re: Hey RW.........

Lordo wrote: RW good bit of news from the dark side of Cyprus. Tufan Erhurman got 62.7% to Tatar 35.8% of the vote.

Thankfully there will be a 5 way meeting at the UN in November. The difference between that talks from the last two five way meetings will be very interesting indeed. In fact last few months Tatar's party passed a law so that Erhurman cannot talk federal solution. It will be interesting if they actually attempt that.

Traitors’ club celebrates 20 years

Here they are in all their glory the others as the "others" would have them looked upon, the few and the insignificant. Yet their numbers grow, now for decades, so too the thoughts of Love and its infinite power that they represent. Indeed such men and women gain great Joy from one another's company; artificially torn apart it is something to think about.

...ask yourself/yourselves why Cyprus still "belongs" to Cypriots, and not the "Greeks" and "Turks"?

But for this island's dwellers who have never even once betrayed themselves in all these years by voting overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates, such a notion as a Cypriot People survives.

...traitors not to themselves i wait, their silence breached the polity to speak; picnics on their beaches together making souvla and song (under the one Flag that is truly theirs, the Flag of Cyprus, the one that "They" have treated and treat as a rag): an Enosis which is Peaceful, this time a Cypriot way, "Greekness" and "Turkishness" the Problem exposed as one and the same against it.

...indeed, 'our' (read: the Human race) problem with the Problem in Cyprus is that it is not about Greeks vs. Turks, or "Turks" vs. "Greeks", it is about "Greeks"/"Turks" against the Principles that make us as Individuals beyond the Person an equal Greek and Turkish willing to defend the values 'we' have that are Universal.

...indeed. Think carefully because we are in a sense the belly button of the world.

What is the Problem, that in Cyprus it cannot be solved, so that in it (e.g.) the People of Turkey, those in the Ukraine, and dare i say it in Trans-Jordan will find for themselves a fitting way to secure for themselves Freedom, and as Constituencies representing this Liberty, as majorities their recognition and respect for the minorities living among them by providing for their special needs as well.
(...what is a BBF?) Intentions matter.

Indeed it is most heartening to see this small group is news, and how many in the comments section support such "traitors", 'traitors' as such Citizens of the World.

Turkic world ‘responsible for a fair solution in Cyprus’, Erdogan says

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/11/06/turkic-world-responsible-for-a-fair-solution-in-cyprus-erdogan-says/

.

...indeed, beside the "Greeks" and the "Turks" it is the Cypriots which need a fair solution, which demonstrates that beyond Persons Humanity as Persons recognises and respects our Individual Rights and the Universal Principles on which they are based.

...so it is with Cypriots because they have existed millennia, and they are not few as "They" would have the world believe. Also, let's not forget that in elections across the decades of being unnaturally divided, not once have Cypriots (Turkish or Greek) voted overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates: Cyprus still "belongs" to Cypriots.

...Hungry a Turkic Nation, is hopeful; Cypriots as Cypriots (self sustaining, and multi-cultural: beyond "This" dysfunction) may someday be a member of the OTS too (i.e. what is fair?). Cypriots are already represented as part of the Francophonie; English to Cypriots is not a foreign language either.
(The issue of Identity is complex.)

Mr. Tatar should be wary as a Statesman; whether he leads, for "Turkishness", or follows. He may realise that he can do more than Mr. Erdogan for his "motherland" by "being" Cypriot; asking instead, "where is a Greek Constituency" given that a Turkish Constituency seeks recognition and a Cypriot State exists. In solving the (Cyprus) Problem, Turkey too could use a BBF when it comes to Constitutional Reform, beyond the Rights of all people as equals, having at another level of Government among Turkish Constituencies a Turkic Constituency.

comment, CM 2015; Cyprus Problem

 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,

Klik, sustaining our identities as Persons is extremely important. google, ethnosphere. understand that more than the ecosphere, culture, the diversity that is "Mankind" dwindles at an even faster rate.

because Cyprus, or at least its Statesmen, have chosen to define the Principal of Bicommunality for all Mankind, new thinking is needed about the meaning of "State" and the meaning of "Nation". the debate in Cyprus as it is framed presently has led to stagnation; the same stagnation that exists in Turkey.

...think about that.

something is terribly wrong about our views, as Humans, because the world has changed; Nations are no longer States...

...within all modern states, there are (plural) Nations. indeed we are a tiny little island compared to the size, in land mass and population, of other countries. but our Intolerance is the same, if we divide ourselves as Blacks or Whites by any other name. indeed, our Problem needs a solution which is "Perfect", that is to say repeatable, providing a result which others can emulate toward their own betterment.

...furthermore, our demographics will not stay the same. we are members of the EU now, a very fluid population. we are the gateway to three continents, and our survival depends on our ability to facilitate social-exchange as a global partner. it is no joke when i remind us that the population of Cyprus is something a little over twelve million (although conservatively this will take two hundred years, if it does not happen sooner). if we resist these changes, they will overwhelm us, especially since desertification and ocean acidification are likely in a future which looms much closer still.

...if you think Cyprus is "Greek" or "Turkish" then there is no room for us to grow as a State. The "new" ethnic group i presume you are referring to is Cypriot. Cypriots are neither of the above although within its population there are Greeks and Turks. After all these years of putting the Person before the Individual, it is hard to imagine that the extremists continue without the realisation that their Imperialism is not unlike the worst of our interlocutors, Turkey, which has been reduced to illegal occupations, ethnic cleansing, and corruption.

...it is the only solution, except bloody war. Only that war will leave us as this island's dwellers with no Peace, no less subjugated to the murder which follows the Intolerant who have no identity to Human Betterment because in the mind of these Ignorant, Nations are States, States are Nations.

somewhere there is for example, a frontier between the rural and the city.

somewhere a mountain starts.

the word osmosis is valid with enclaves, places of a "Turkish flavour" or "Greek flavour" (or Armenian flavour) like a cake, they are constituents, without which the recipe cannot be cake, each made up of components, they blend, as parts within themselves and with each other.

The Jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of service to the electorate depends on identifying residency by drawing frontiers. Thus, the existence of frontiers is necessary in any circumstance, be it electoral ridings and/or districts. There is nothing wrong with being served, first, in Turkish or Greek, in one place or the other.What is important is that our State is strong, and that we are united as people in support of its Sovereignty in defending our Individual Rights. As Persons, in a Bicommunal framework, our liberty allows us to sustain (and promote) a National Identity as well.

The United Republic of Cyprus has as its frontier, its border. Internally however, we have to choose as yet a rational way of distributing the land so that it is served by the populace that lives on it in a manner where their closeness to it is expressed through their own self-representation. Enclaves make perfect sense then, in securing Free Association, and they guarantee our Free Movement, while allowing for distinctions in both societies from the diversity they will provide, it allows for Free Expression to grow. Most importantly, communities of the displaced will have the opportunity to return, Justice seen, beyond the Right of Return for Individuals which is paramount for us to demonstrate, if there is to be Justice.

Turkey, remains for us a counterbalance against the forces which are extremes. She will recognise the Sovereignty of Cyprus, as United and indivisable when it suits the needs she has for security, and the sustainability of her relations with us as an entity. When a "perfect" Solution is found, Turkey will not withold this recognition.

"When people vote, they should be neither Greek (GC ) nor Turk (TC) ...... but individuals ...... above all else, the right of the individual should be respected, no matter what community they finally affiliate with (for day to day existence).", OP

True!!!, in my Cyprus so long as you are a Citizen, toward the State you will be identified as an Individual, only.

Voting thricely, each citizens votes for a Turkish Cypriot representative, a Greek Cypriot representative, as well as an Independent representative.

"So you propose to have us TCs scattered all over the island in enclaves surrounded on all sides by GCs?", eric d.

not true, having enclaves scattered over the whole island implies that Greek Cypriots can return as communities in the north without destroying the fabric of the society which will surround them. Turkish Cypriots will have the opportunity to development land for their society's prosperity island wide as well with their enclaves in the south.

most importantly, I think is the recognition we can give to the displaced reciprocally by this change to our political-geography, and homes can be offered to the Settlers and those that will be displaced instead of houses.

"Will not the 'traitors' include a large section of the GC population?", deniz

"just EU members resident in Cyprus .... using their one vote to have a say!", OP

Both true, although our founding is a commitment to change, and people as Cypriots, and as Tc's and as Gc's are to be accommodated.

Our View: Cyprus problem at the UN: A 50-year speech no one’s listening to

 https://cyprus-mail.com/2024/09/28/our-view-cyprus-problem-at-the-un-a-50-year-speech-no-ones-listening-to/

.

...indeed, the Problem, and as it is in Cyprus, the Cyprus Problem, is complex. (It is a matter of intentions.) Dating back to the early sixties, here, it has evolved, resulting in this most unnatural state (with so many other issues attached to it). But i do not despair, having more confidence in 'us', the Human race.

...what is a Person? What is an Individual? What is a State and what is a Nation? What is Freedom, and what of Liberty? Ask yourselves: that is the Problem; what is a BBF.

Indeed, there are "Greeks" in Cyprus, as there are "Turks". But for the greater half who are Greek and Turkish, Cyprus would be no more. Think about it.

Our Freedom, to "be" an Individual, was usurped from 'us' by "them" back then. And it remains, "Greekness" and "Turkishness" the central topic of discussion by the so-called leadership, leaving Cypriots all these years ignored. This, is the problem. (And most recently, take note, concocted by "Russia" in the Ukraine this same "solution"; never mind what occurred in Trans-Jordan with such notions there.)

...enosis comes to mind: the word that Cypriots must take back by giving it its Cypriot meaning. "Picnics" on our beaches for example sharing souvla together under our flag, the Flag of Cyprus; who would be against that? Simple acts of great courage, like flying this flag outside your door or at your place of work so that collectively there is no where in Cyprus, "They" will not see it flying. Or, how about starving "Their" establishments, by deliberately crossing the "Green Line" toward consciously seeking out in social-exchange other Cypriots, instead?

...indeed where is a Greek Constituency, among Cypriot Constituencies just like a Turkish Constituency: at another level of Government; as Persons representing themselves (in their daily lives) as majorities in Goodwill and in Goodfaith, having the same respect and trust for the minorities living among them by providing, as well, for their special needs? And, what have 'we' agreed to so far at the UN: not two governments, but two levels of government; think about that for a while.

...such a dismal and cynical point of view Cyprus Mail, of Cypriots, that i must thank-you for stirring in me a redoubling of my conviction to see in a better world a Cyprus Free, not for "Greeks", not for "Turks", but for those who defend Universal Principles without further discrimination or distinction, for Cypriots, at peace with each other and in a Cypriot way being equal in a larger Family of Man; beyond the colonial shackles as it appears, which as a People 'we' must unchain ourselves through direct action peaceful, reasoned, and better intentioned.

...reading this opinion piece, i have to ask of the authors what is important to them, who they think they are writing for, and what they think the readership expects of them; who stands to gain from their thinking: the People you say?

...indeed. Will we grow tired of Justice because of the constant need to defend it? Will we grow tired of the Truth and the whole Truth I ask the Cyprus Mail? I urge them to resist the mythic narrative "Greeks" and "Turks" would have all of us believe, that Cypriots are few and insignificant; that is an untruth. And i urge the Cyprus Mail thusly to root deeper, into the corruption that enriches a few, and that keeps 'us' more like chattel driven to be torn apart; to educate us differently, to mitigate, and to act as a vanguard driving change, for Cypriots: given how Cypriots are being represented at present by its political elite (north and south), it is a duty.

...having to live next to the béhémoth and sharing a language, as a Canadian i wonder if the spelling difference we have between us has the same significance anymore; being older i wonder if the difference is as rigorously taught today as it was sixty years ago: a matter of ("my"/'my') identity.

Indeed, communication is a matter of intention (and it is always evolving).

...in Cyprus i dream of a day where our "Official Languages" have as their significance the capacity between them to be flawlessly 'translatable'; like in Canada between its English and its French. And more importantly i dream of this capacity extended, so that such a functionality is practiced toward many other languages as fluidly, (as well as their other forms of writing and speech).

What is multilingual?

...let's not forget who Cypriots are at a crossroad to three Continents, they are facilitators of exchange. In a world of bits and bytes where numbers count such a capacity, in many languages/'languages', where a singular meaning can be said and written in many forms, is important.

Both sides of Cypriot diaspora must stand together

...indeed let us never forget who these Cypriots are, who have over the decades held as electors to their Cypriot Identity having been torn artificially apart. And being neither "Greek" or "Turkish" in that regard, over all these years, they have never betrayed themselves as Cypriots by giving even one of "Their" candidates an overwhelming majority. These are the facts.

They are the larger half if you will, silenced by the shameful slander against them of being too few, by "Them" who wish to define, Cypriot, such a notion for themselves.

...picnics, to do what Cypriots do so well, to sing, to dance, to make music, and make souvla on 'our' beaches, under the one flag that is rightfully 'ours'; this is what 'we' should do so that speaking for 'us' as the People's flag, the Flag of Cyprus flies highest. 'We' may find them flying everywhere across the island, where Cypriots live, i hope; our flag, the Flag "They" treat and have treated as a rag for far too long.

...who would be against that, that 'our' flag flies peacefully?

(United, who can stop 'us'?)

Cypriots in the diaspora can do more to demonstrate their unity as Individuals, committed to supporting Universal Principles, and as Persons demonstrating the same commitment to such values as Majorities, by having the capacity to provide for the special needs of Minorities living among them too. (What is a BBF?)

Cypriot Constituencies anywhere where they may gather should do more to be helpful to each other because united is, the Cypriot way.

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"?

...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.
