Allowing the creation of legality based on horrid illegality would set a precedent so dire that no UN state with any sizable ethnic minority shall be able to escape. Bankrupt British colonial thinking should NOT be allowed to wreck nations any longer. That's what some want. That's not what the Cypriot people want. And in Cyprus it should not matter what Brits or Turks or even the Turkish Cypriot Minority think, but instead what the historical overwhelming majority of Greek Christians.

Legality Born of Horrid Illegality is a Recipe for Wider Disaster
Allowing the creation of legality based on horrid illegality would set a precedent so dire that no UN state with any sizable ethnic minority shall be able to escape. Bankrupt British colonial thinking should NOT be allowed to wreck nations any longer. That's what some want. That's not what the Cypriot people want. And in Cyprus it should not matter what Brits or Turks or even the Turkish Cypriot Minority think, but instead what the historical overwhelming majority of Greek Christians.

Since the Turkish Cypriot minority accepts the Turkish army for its protection it should be consistent and accept "Turkey" 's solutions vis-a-vis its own circa 22% ethnic minority community.

Turkish Cypriots solving the Kurdish issue
Every proposal submitted at the negotiating table by Turkish Cypriots is heeded by northern Kurdistanis (as well as by Europeans and Americans). After all, unlike Turkish Cypriots, Kurds of "Turkey" have both a historical and ethical claim on a contiguous part of the country that was defined by the 1923 borders, and today Kurds live scattered all around the landmass for which a better name would be Turkey-North Kurdia (or Turkey-North Kurdistan).

Defunct state
When a state's parliamentary system switches to a presidential one when its prime minister becomes president we can safely assert that such state is defunct.

Fruitless to Compare?
Why isn't Kurdish an official language of "Turkey"?- Why don't Kurds enjoy political equality with ethnic Turks in "Turkey"?
- Are tCs to gCs what Kurds are to Turks?
- Why aren't tCs educated in Greek, like Kurds are educated in Turkish?

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.
