...i want to educate, and i want to communicate the observations i have made that are useful. I remember that the audience is the many who do not respond, but read. If there is any effect on the readership, i feel that they deserve the three sides to the story, we are not "Greeks" and "Turks", in this case, because the Cyprus Problem is framed wrongly. Cypriots lose, Cypriots are denied their voice. It is not possible to defend "one" side, against the other "side", Cypriots died as a result of this Ignorance, and it should be obvious to the "Greeks" and the "Turks" that despite their best efforts after all this time, Cypriots still exist.

For it to have "two sides", as in a reasoned debate, the "Greeks", the Turks", the "Maronites", the "Armenians", the "Latins", (and dare i say it, the "English") which have the same needs as Persons, and as a set, the Cypriot Constituencies, they would be equal to the Federal Government, 'bicommunally' speaking (, and by the intention of the Republic's Constitution). This is my opinion.

I believe in Cyprus, and i know that it is a wonderful opportunity for Cypriots to demonstrate the same kind of courage toward the betterment of all Mankind.

Turkey police thwarted against ISIL

...an interesting perspective, one which all Citizens of Turkey should consider, because there will be a post-Erdogan era.
What with the elections that will likely come soon, my fear is that he will take advantage of the fact that the other political parties are likely exhausted, financially speaking, and those shoe boxes gone missing so to speak, may be emptied in the coming elections somehow.
What with the fatigue Turkish electors have gone through, my fear is that they will take the "safe" bet, for their security, and the economy, seemingly at risk without the guidance of a man more experienced. But Turkey needs new thinking, as does Turkey's friends and neighbours, Erdogan, it seems, only represents "Turks".
