If Turkish Cypriots cannot find the strength to admit to themselves that 1960 was too one-sided in their favour and the real source of the ensuing problems or that the bizonality basis is unnatural for Cyprus and the tainted product of an illegal war, then they are fools. If the Greek Cypriot left wishes to continue patronising the so called Turkish Cypriot progressives, a minority among the minority inbued with a unique leftist nationalism a-la-Turca, then they are doubly so.

If the Greek Cypriot left wishes to continue patronising the so called Turkish Cypriot progressives, a minority among the minority inbued with a unique leftist nationalism a-la-Turca, then they are doubly so.
