...you "OWN" Cyprus, if you are Cypriot, Not "Greek", not "Turkish", but Cypriot.
Cypriots choose to recognise and respect the diversity of Cyprus' ethnos; they seek to sustain the Cypriot Constituencies, living Bicommunally, as Individuals, and as Persons.
...you forget, MrH, you are a Human first of all, as races go; "Turkishness", being a "Turk" (or a "Greek") does not exclude this responsibility.

Re: Cyprus viewed by USA Today!

...as to the reaction to your post, it is natural; even the support you get from Lordo.
...i remind you, that the Turkish Army has failed Turkey, and that the British Army in Cyprus failed, as did the Americans in Iraq. People are stronger, the Truth has a value beyond the cost of War, and it will so long as there is even one individual willing to fight, for it. What is Truth? In Cyprus, it is that Cypriots died at the hands of "Greeks" and "Turks", not while "Greeks" and "Turks" fought each other for the most part; murdered, or made to disappear, being not "Greek", or not "Turk", but for "being" Cypriot. The truth is that "we" the rest of us allowed "them" to live among us, and remained silent as they grew. And as their intentions tore us apart, "they" were a choice, there for those without the strength to follow the way, seeking revenge instead, to act in Hateful ways. Indeed, we are "Greeks" and "Turks", the other half Cypriots.
...so, here i am, too, a Cypriot, in this conversation. Not "Greek", MrH, very much unlike "you", i don't choose to see the world in those terms. And, "Turkishness" is no better, in my opinion.
If you are Turk, and "cannot" be a Cypriot, in Cyprus, you are a "servant-slave" only to Erdogan a "Turk", no friend in affect to those who see a difference, between "them", and the rest of us.

Cultural affinity vs political annexation
http://cyprus-mail.com/2017/02/19/cultural-affinity-vs-political-annexation/
.
...there is no shame in "being", Cypriot. And given the state of Greece, and Turkey, in the recent past, neither is a choice that offers better opportunities, than Cyprus. This is something to think about.
...i imagine what Cyprus, as Cypriots can do, an ally in the Eastern Mediterranean, with Greece, and Turkey, as equals. Israel, and Egypt, have joined in such tripartite meetings, already with significant progress. The world has grown much too small to ignore the state of Nations, include States, Nations of Nations; small as it is Cyprus is there, with that choice to make.
...more importantly, in the broader sense of things, i suggest that what is Cyprus, is Turkey, because the Cyprus Problem, is Turkey's National issue. With Turkey divided as "Turks", and those Turkish but not "Turkish", it is very evident, to me at least, that in Cyprus, there is this similarity, where Cypriots have been divided in the same way.
Cyprus is a template; for Turkey. And with the failure of the Annan Plan, fifty years of Turkish Foreign Policy failed accordingly. Only unity as Cypriots, one Cyprus, suits now, where there is a solution that from it, Turkey gains; hope, in Turkey, for the Turkish people, (as well in Syria, Iraq, and Iran) is i imagine, a solution which demonstrates something worthy to emulate, a BBF, where the People can sustain by their own choice, the identities of their Persons in Liberty, and as Individuals their Freedom.
...so it goes, as Cyprus is not "Greek", Turkey is not "Turkish".
Such a state may not be what Mr. Erdogan is looking for at the moment, he is the "but one" that resists this change, he is the "but one" who with a change of intention can settle the fate, literally of millions, he, more than anyone knows this choice brings Peace to a Turkey of Turks, not just to "Turks".

Ahmet Şık’s historic defence: Gulenist lackeys and a junta regime that would court the envy of coupists...
http://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/haber/english/678159/Ahmet_Sik_s_historic_defence__Gulenist_lackeys_and_a_junta_regime_that_would_court_the_envy_of_coupists....html
.
...thank-you, Ahmet Şık; brave man, kind man, for Truth.
...there is a big difference which you describe, between, "Turks" and Turks.
Yet, I have hope. Erdogan will change his intentions, his Legacy is more important to him. Choked, tarnished, by the brothers he has chosen to keep, he may find greatness in History another way. It is there (for him), in the Problem, Turkey's National Problem for so long, in Cyprus the template for Freedom, and, Liberty, a BBF (Bicommunal Bizonal Federation) for Turkey with Constitutional Reform: for Individuals, and as Persons, where within one Turkey there may be Turkish Constituencies.
...a Cyprus divided, is a Turkey divided. Erdogan will come to realise that the world is not divided between "Turks", and those not "Turk". He will come to realise that at home, the same is true. That there is One Turkey, who can imagine differently? And yet it is divided, now, more than ever.
One Cyprus, his recognition that in Cyprus, the Republic of Cyprus exists, that beside those "Greek" (read: not "Turk"), and "Turk", the other half as I like to call them, that Cypriots exist, is a welcomed act Internationally. "One Cyprus, One Turkey", as a rallying call he may make, seems a logical extension for him, to end the violence in Turkey; it is so hopeful.
Peace in Cyprus, Cypriots as Cypriots choosing a solution Cypriots can prosper from, is not anathema to the goals he has, in Turkey (as: a People, and, as Peoples). In any case, it is his to decide, both our fates, and the fates of millions of lives, by overcoming his own fears and changing course; failing which, failing himself.
...in your heart, i believe you are happy, there is no despair; but the firm resolve to be loving, to remember, the way, that Providence is change.
...again, thank-you.

Turkey squeezed between Russia, US in Syria

...how interesting. What with the Constitutional changes happening in Turkey, what with the changes in Cyprus on the brink, what with a need for Unity, in all the Nations of Nations, of the Eastern Med; room for a change of intentions.
The Problem, is not a "Greek"/"Turk" singularity, exclusive to Cyprus. I will add, Cyprus exists, and like it or not, such an adversary for so many years, is Turkey's best friend, because only in Cyprus, Turkey's National cause, is there a solution that serves Turkey (one way or the other), if not "Turkish", like Turkey; One Turkey, One Cyprus. And only in Cyprus, i may add, is there a chance for Erdogan to score big points with recognition, Internationally speaking.
...a Cyprus divided, is a Turkey divided.
Erdogan is still on the train called Democracy. Though he may decide to destroy the very system in choosing what's natural it seems, to get off. For a Legacy he may take these rails further if he chooses, he is such a man. I am still rooting for him, he is wily; while for his "Brotherhood", he knows that the bread and the butter he gets, is for them, not from them.
...indeed, if acceptable to all Cypriots as Cypriots, a Cyprus Solution offers hope, everywhere. I think Erdogan knows this better than anybody, while he has not arrived at the point yet of overcoming his own fears, as a Turk, or, as a "Turk".
...Syria, Iraq, (and) Iran may find in Turkey, leadership; it is in the end how Turkey will treat its own Citizenship, now.
