Suspicion of something rotten inside Turkey

If you share my suspicion that something is terribly wrong having Turkey preach us Cypriots on equality and minority rights, then do yourselves a favor and read this article (click on this link) that demonstrates in Ottoman grandeur Turkish hypocrisy. As a prologue, let me offer my advice to Kurds of Turkey, who make up circa 22% of Turkey's population:

I tell you this Kurds of Turkey: in order to avoid a bloody war and to postpone the "to be independent or not to be" dilemma for a future generation of Kurds do your selves a favor. Before I tell you what, please note that my motive is self-serving. The advice is to read the Cypriot President's ideas for introducing some sense into the Cypriot constitution of 1960, a document that was extorted by Turkey so as to address the concerns of the Turkish Cypriot ethnic minority that numbered 18%. Reading the Cypriot President's ideas will help you get a feel of the constitution itself. I sincerely believe that you should ask Turks for a 1960-like constitution. How can Turks deny you the very rights they saw fit for a like-sized minority of another country? Do note that the Turkish language was made an official of the state since day one, along with the majority's Greek language. Read these 13 ideas by clicking on this link.

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.
