'Can't have it both ways', it turns out!

David , 10 August 2011 , 03:48 - "On the one hand Turkey breaks the agreements by invading Cyprus and attempting to create a Turkish state in the north of the country, and on the other hand Turkey quotes the same agreements it is breaking as a basis to challenge Cyprus' sovereign rights to search for gas in its EEZ. A confused, contradictory and disastrous policy by Turkey that hasn't achieved its aim of international recognition for the north of Cyprus, has failed to stop Cyprus entering the EU and failed to stop the government of Cyprus being recognized as the sole legitimate government of the island."

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.
