Play Ball
The US ambassador to Cyprus, Mr. Koenig, recently encouraged us Greek Cypriots to "play ball". Sir, before I do that, would you mind telling me which of the US states is Black (African) by law? Or if that is too extreme to consider, could you please point us the Hispanic one?

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.
