I cannot discern the message. Can you?

Message for the day after the storm?
I am personally still unclear on what tCypriots want. I fear that highlighting the problems may not be enough. I can't see clearly the next day, the day after the storm. Can you? tCypriots must not only visualize it, they must plan it on REALISTIC assumptions as opposed to a feels-good-must-be-right approach. gCypriots are not ready to let go the comfort and security of the Republic of Cyprus. Why should they? It is one thing risking something real and tangible and totally another something pseudo, illegal and crumbling. More is needed by tCypriots! Political vision and maturity and an honest desire to compromise. A far more important message to the one to send to the Turkeyish establishments is the message to send to gCypriots!

Turkey's Kurds & Cyprus' tCypriots
As either unitary state or federation solutions are discussed as replacements to Cyprus' 1960 and Turkey's 1923 unworkable constitutions, should we abide by "if a right is a right too many for Turkey's Kurdish community (circa 23% of population) then that right is a right too many for Cyprus' tCypriot community too (circa 15%), and vice versa." Is the adoption of this fair logic the catalyst to securing just solutions for both UN countries.
