What the hell just happened?

There was once a visionary man who outlined his solution while trying to balance an impossible situation of an empire's bruised ego, a fascist's designs, the crippled aspirations of a people and the sacrifice of an ethnic minority in the arena of international power politics. His ideas, updated and EU adjusted, are the only sensible solution for Cyprus' Turkeyish problem and her tCypriot challenge.

I just wish tCypriot unionists had the vision, the wisdom and the guts to respond to Makarios' letter. The solution will be agreed and the problems will be over so fast that Turkey will be left wondering "What the hell just happened?"

The fact is Erdogan is facing in Turkey of today a situation not unlike the one Makarios did in 1963 in terms of the immensity and explosiveness of the challenges, also involving an ethnic minority circa 20% of population. Turkey, from a political maturity standpoint, is where Cyprus was back in the 1950s.
