Turkish Cypriots want to solve their Turkish problem by fully backing a return to 1960. I tell them and their sympathizers, 1960 was laden was provocative privileges which led to Cyprus' woes over the last half century. 1960 is neither enough nor acceptable. We need a solution that solves Cyprus' problem, not Turkish Cypriots' problem, who allowed themselves to be played like fools by the UK and "Turkey". The right solution is a 1963+. In other words, a unitary constitution without zones, without privileges for any minority community, without equality as tCs understand it, and above all without separate votings and other apartheid clauses. It may be hard for Turkish Cypriots to either understand or accept it, but in the end it is in their best interest as well. It's hypocritical to ask for imperialists to get out while at the same time their imperialist ideas to stay. Last, to that pathetic minority of Greek Cypriots that may think that Turkish Cypriots have no rights on Cyprus, I say "kiss my Byzantine ass"!

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.
