The history of the light bulb spans the entire 19th century with Thomas Alva Edison credited for the invention with his 1879 version. "Turkey" 's mentality is old too, like AKP's logo suggests. But unlike the light bulb it has remained the same. True, AKP's Islamofascist version successfully replaced the Kemalofascist version. But raw fascism nevertheless dictates policies. The worst part of the story is that the state has been diligently raising generations that neither see nor are equipped to seek for the alternative. They are preoccupied with saving by force and intimidation their ethnic Turkish state at all costs. The cost to be paid in the end shall be unfathomable! And the end is nigh.

The Light Bulb & the Turkish Mentality
The history of the light bulb spans the entire 19th century with Thomas Alva Edison credited for the invention with his 1879 version. "Turkey" 's mentality is old too, like AKP's logo suggests. But unlike the light bulb it has remained the same. True, AKP's Islamofascist version successfully replaced the Kemalofascist version. But raw fascism nevertheless dictates policies. The worst part of the story is that the state has been diligently raising generations that neither see nor are equipped to seek for the alternative. They are preoccupied with saving by force and intimidation their ethnic Turkish state at all costs. The cost to be paid in the end shall be unfathomable! And the end is nigh. Friday, May 24, 2013
Islamism Vs Kemalism through Wikileaks and mild Islamic eyes
April 2011 in Today's Zaman: "One of the most striking sections of the US diplomatic cables from Turkey
(Wikileaks), published continuously these days by the Taraf daily, is about the “monster” -- a deadly mixture of ultranationalism and racism in Turkey -- ... “but subsequent nationalist backlash indicates the depth of the divide in Turkish society.” ... It points at dangers inherent in Article 301 of the Penal Code (TCK), which criminalizes “insulting Turkishness” ... AKP risks a more volatile electorate and helps to revive a nationalist hydra that could prove exceedingly difficult to put back in the box once the elections are behind them.”"

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.
