Is our Turkish Cypriot Turkey's Kurd?
Linking the tC (Turkish Cypriot) issue to the Kurdish issue of Turkey is the only effective way to:
[1] uncover Turkish hypocrisy on its approach to majority-minority community relations;
[2] bring about a fair and permanent settlement to Cyprus' Turkish & tC problems; and
[3] help bring about community status recognition to the Kurds of Turkey, who by some estimates exceed 20m;
A Win-Win-Win approach for the Turkish, Kurdish and Cypriot peoples. It may also produce the first ever truly democratic constitution in Turkey's history.
The time to return the favor and meddle in Turkey's affairs is now!

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.
