I remember why such an effort (by the rest of the world,) was rejected in the first place. Nothing has changed. Iran, Iraq, and Syria, may recognise soon, what Cypriots have had to endure in real terms for decades: occupation troops in the guise of the Turkish Army as peacekeepers.

It is no coincidence that Erdogan chooses to rail about the Treaty of Lausanne at such a moment. Whereas dividing Cyprus would be a tribute to "Turkishness", in the grander scheme of things there is still the prize of a greater Turkey, and him, the protector of this wider sphere.
