Lonely voice
My Turkey's Kurds - Cyprus' tCypriots analogy elicited this response from a Turkish friend: "@Antifon, i'm sorry but but you're the only, single, unique individiual with your analogy, i've not heard from any other individual on this PLANET, including GCs and greeks back at Greece, so no matter how much noise you make, it is not heard because it comes only from ONE person, btw1, according to Lausanne Treaty, kurds are NOT minority, greeks, armenians and jews are minorities, btw2 haven't you got a new home and job in the south (or in other countries) now after all those 37 years, if you do i think there's no need to make so much noise as it consumes ALL of your life without any little amount of hope of success?"- Cem Emre Gülsever 18 July 2011, 18:45 on 'Ankara opposes killing UN negotiation process in Cyprus' Today's Zaman 17 July 2011 EMINE KART

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.
