What many scholars on Cyprus conveniently forget is that "Turkey" invaded Cyprus in 1974 ostensibly to protect the Turkish Cypriot minority before a single Turkish Cypriot had been hurt! (last reported ethnic violence had been in 1967!). Please think about this.
The so-called "Cyprus problem" is in essence Cypriots' British-Turkish problem.
Brits need to stop playing Pontius Pilate and help fix 1960, an APARTHEID charter forced upon Greek Cypriots. BIZONAL APARTHEID is multiple times the mistake 1960 was.
Makarios was on the right track in 1963. Brits must publicly acknowledge it. If they do, many Turkish Cypriots who silently watch the parody unfold will speak up. Brits (the west) can secure privileges in Cyprus proactively.
As far as Turks, there is a trick to shut them up: "we let Greek Cypriots come up with a fair charter with full respect for the circa 12% (once 18%) Turkish Cypriot minority & then you grant like rights to your circa 22% Kurdish minority."
