Bilingual states?

Greek Cypriots [90%] agree to having a bilingual Republic of Cyprus for the sake of their 10% ethnic Turkish community. Do ethnic Turks of Turkey [75%] agree to having a bilingual Republic of Turkey for the sake of their 22% ethnic Kurdish community? If not, why not? What does this say about ethnic 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.
