Antifon's middle name is Archimedes

Kurds demand COMMUNITY rights in Turkey.

This is the biggest lever ever available to Cyprus and the EU to apply pressure on Turkey to acknowledge that what she has been trying to achieve in Cyprus is unbelievably unjust to Cyprus' overwhelming majority population and that a more balanced formula is needed.
If Turkey's ideas in Cyprus were just, then Turkey should have no problem applying them to address her own Kurdish issue, a problem persisting since the 1920s with 50.000 deaths in the last 30 years alone.

Kurds demand community rights.
Turks acknowledge the need for a constitutional overhaul.

Why is Turkey resisting her own recipe?

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.
