Kurds make up 30% of "Turkey" 's population & Turkish Cypriots 12% [18% at their peak] of Cyprus' population. Turkish Cypriots' native language is an official language of the country and they receive full education in Turkish WHEREAS the Kurdish language does not have an official status in "Turkey" and is considered a foreign language by the state apparatus, Kurds are educated in the majority's la
nguage and can only learn the Kurdish language at the university level, if they choose Kurdish as an elective, and even this "privilege" is a recent development. "TURKEY" is actively involved in addressing the grievances of both nations' ethnic minorities (in the case of Cyprus illegally).
Do you by any chance spot anything interesting?

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.
