Turkey's Syrian Kurdish Problem | Jerusalem Post
by Jonathan Spyer, July 4, 2015 - Syrian Kurdish forces this week succeeded in turning back a murderous and determined attempt by the forces of Islamic State to claw back control of areas of northern Syria recently liberated by the Kurds. The cost was high, nevertheless. Recent Kurdish successes, meanwhile, have raised the specter of a Turkish armed intervention in northern Syria to crush the growing Kurdish autonomous zones along the border.
So where do things stand in the bloody war between the Kurds and the Sunni jihadists over Syria's north? And is there a realistic possibility that Erdogan might intervene?

Pseudo-federation
Bizonality is not a federation. If it was, its supporters would be able to point to at least one (of the 25 or so that exist today in the world) where the residents of a state/canton are deprived of the rights to vote and be elected. The intent of their PSEUDO-FEDERATION is obviously to create/maintain ethnic-based clean areas, where such areas never existed before in the history of Cyprus. The problem may be difficult to solve, but cementing injustice in an unprecedented racially segregated concoction is most certainly not the way. Their menacing dilemma between a pseudo-state in the occupied, ethnically cleansed north and a pseudo-federation for the whole is a PSEUDO-DILEMMA. The answer is neither. The answer is freedom. The answer is democracy.Friday, June 19, 2015

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.
