“The US strongly encourages both sides to stay at the negotiating table and evaluate in the best manner the UN proposals for reaching a strong, bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, which will secure a stable, successful and sound Cyprus - Victoria Nuland, US State Department Spokeswoman.
It is time we empower our next President (so far I have yet to hear of a better name than Eleni Theocharous) to tell those that have stood against us for decades [UK/US] that CYPRUS already is STABLE, SUCCESSFUL and SOUND. And why not, cut a deal with them.
Because, just like the 50s and 60s were a 'with us or against us' period, so is the 2010s. It is time an empowered and confident leader spells out our solution away from division and divisive constitutional interpretations, so as to preserve a stable, successful and sound Cyprus. I personally interpret Nuland's statement above as the tombstone on Turkey's and tCs' aspirations for a Cypriot Taiwan or TAKSIM or annexation or status quo prolongation. I also expect that Turks won't be able NOT to pursue their ill logic to the end. That's when Cyprus will break free. But we need a powerful Cypriot leader with confidence in office, a leader elected with 76% to steer us in the right direction, a Cypriot direction! The international community (EU, west, Russia, UN) is ready to support our simple argument that Cyprus, despite Turkey's illegal meddling, already is stable, successful and sound. Reintegrating 80.000 Turkish Cypriots back into Cypriot norms after Turkey departs is a rather simple task for an energy rich, EU stable, successful and sound nation.

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.
