Cyprus Solution Revisited and Turkey's Hypocrisy Unveiled

Linking the Cyprus issue to the Kurdish issue of Turkey is the only effective way to [a] uncover Turkish hypocrisy on her approach to majority-minority community relations [b] bring about a fair and permanent settlement to Cyprus' Turkish problem and [c] help bring community status recognition for the close to 20 million Kurds of Turkey. A win-win-win for the Kurdish, Turkish and Cypriot peoples. It may also bring about the first ever truly democratic constitution in Turkey's history!

I wonder what will come out of the Geneva Jan 26th meeting

Demetris Christofias and Derviş Eroğlu will go to the January 26th 2011 meeting with the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Geneva not knowing what is in store.

Antifon wonders "Perhaps too difficult a concept for humans to grasp!"

Antifon wonders "Hmm .... how come they don't see the obvious. Turkey has two problems with minorities. One at home and one in another country she ostensibly has obligations to (along with Greece and the UK).

Give Turkey's Kurds (25% of population) identical rights to those agreed for the T-Cypriots (18%) in Cyprus & vice versa. A federation in Cyprus between GCs & TCs and a federation in Turkey between its Turkish ethnic majority and Kurdish ethnic minority. Or unitary state solutions with similar levels of rights based on same principles. Is it so hard for humans to grasp?"
