Reasoning with Turks
The more Turks envision an ethnically divided Cyprus, a historical absurdity, the more we should impress
upon them that an ethnically divided Ankara, an ethnically divided Constantinople (Istanbul) and an ethnically divided Smyrna (Izmir) must also be envisioned. Should they catch our drift, and instead throw their support behind a united Cyprus, then Turks must understand that political equality between Cypriots (Greeks) and the Turkish Cypriot minority must be no different than that between Turks and Kurds in "Turkey". That way Turks' understanding of political equality may become reasonable, as per our western sense of truth and logic.
