Turkish clown culture

How Turkish of Bağış, Turkey's Minister of EU Affairs, to issue military threats! How rich of him to invoke international law when Turkey grossly violates international law!

Q. Greek Cyprus has declared that it will begin oil exploration in the Mediterranean on Oct. 1. Can you comment on this?
A. Bağış "The kinds of things that have happened in the past [Turkish naval interference with exploration] whenever the Greek Cypriots have made such attempts may well happen again. That is how serious Turkey is. Doing this in waters where they have no jurisdiction is illegal. Turkey will rely on international law to pursue its rights to the fullest extent."

Q. Will the navy send a fleet?
A. Bağış "This is what we have the navy for. We have trained our marines for this; we have equipped the navy for this. All options are on the table; anything can be done."

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.
