Cypriots must break out of their failed paradigm. Turkey understands the language of bullying and meddling in others' affairs. Let us take the blinders off. The only way to bring Turkey to her senses is to help promote her own minority problem with the Kurds, a whopping 25% of population. Turkey speaks to our minority. We must respond in kind. Immediately! Only then will some European and American eyebrows raise. Kurds will find our minority's demands, extorted by Turkey, extremely interesting. Invite BDP/KCK to Cyprus without delay so as to share with them our experiences and ideas in majority-minority relations. Simply the reaction by Turkey would make the move worth it! If you feel there is any other way out of the stalemate, then I am sorry for the level of intelligence of my Cypriot compatriots, simple or prominent.

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.
