Could it be that the Arab Spring has risen expectations of the region's peoples, including Turkey's Kurds beyond the level Erdogan thought he could manipulate?Could it be that the demoted generals were right in that the only way to maintain ethnic-Turkish supremacy in a country which is 25% Kurdish is the use of force and a strictly monitored democracy?
Kurds demand ... (cnt'd)
... community rights in Turkey. Turks acknowledge the need for a major constitutional overhaul.
If Turkey's ideas in Cyprus were/are just, then Turkey should have no problem applying them to address her own Kurdish issue, a problem persisting since the 1920s with 50.000 deaths in the last 30 years alone. Why is Turkey resisting her own recipe in Cyprus, for the small minority there, to address her own ethnic minority Kurdish challenges?
Perhaps Cyprus can use her newly acquired energy role in the region to highlight this hypocritical behavior by Turkey's ethnic Turks.
