Political Equality
Forget the Cypriot and the Turkish constitutions. Both are in need of serious upgrade. Concentrate on the essence. Turks insist on political equality between 80 thousand Turkish Cypriots and 800 thousand Greek Cypriots. Why then do they object to political equality between 23 million Kurds and 42 million Turks?

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.
