Look Beyond and Act Despite the Noise

All Cypriots must understand that the UK/US will do ANYTHING to preserve the "S"BAs (military bases), without any concern whatsoever for either Cypriots or justice, other than present the solution and themselves as shiny as possible.

The Cyprus government must use the leverage it has to threaten the UK with action to remove the bases, and mean it. Otherwise they will play us for time in much the same way they have been doing for the last 40 years.

The Cyprus government must also introduce the northern Kurdish cause into the equation in order to:

• expose Turkish hypocrisy & arrogance
• expose Turkish Cypriot hypocrisy & arrogance 
• impress western audiences with the type of shallow, double-faced, sinister mentality we are up against

It's simple really. The interests of US/ UK/ "Turkey"/ tCs coincide. By creating enormous volumes of noise these actors manage to hide the fundamentals of the problem. They have successfully forced our leaders' capitulation with the boogieman: bizonality or else. We need to call the bluff. Prepare and call it. Soon.

Their theatrics are so impressively powerful they have even stolen a black-swan reality to suit their bogus purpose. Yes, the stars are indeed aligned. But not for their dissolution of the Republic of Cyprus but rather its upgrade, away from apartheid, away from privileges, away from foreign meddling, and MOST CERTAINLY away from zones.

UN/EU membership & energy are our defensive weapons. The ones I list above our offensive ones, which have so far been left unused. It's time to get serious.

Towards “regime change” in Cyprus? - DEFEND DEMOCRACY PRESS

06/05/2016

By Dimitris Konstantakopoulos

It is usual in European politics those years, for people to vote one thing and their leaders to do another. This is what happened in many occasions, from the French referendum of 2005 on the European “constitution” till the Greek referendum of 2015, not to mention pre-electoral promises never fulfilled.

But there are also a few exceptions, when a leader cannot or does not want to go against the will of the voters. Such an exception was the referendum on Cyprus in 2004, when the population voted overwhelmingly to reject the Annan plan for the “reunification” of the island.

Many readers may think that what is happening in Cyprus, a small member-state of EU in Eastern Mediterranean, is of rather marginal importance. This is what mainstream media are implying by their (non) reporting on the real parameters of the Cyprus question. But, in reality, the opposite is true. Cyprus, in spite of its magnitude, is too important to speak much of it!

Not Meddling Back Proves Incompetency Mr President!

"Turkey" meddles in just about everyone else's affairs, more recently Egypt, Syria, Israel, etc. No other country has been meddled more in than Cyprus. I want to see the Cyprus government return the favor by offering Turks advice about their impasse with Kurds. As a matter of fact I demand it. Turks' own ideas in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 00's for balancing the rights of a majority and ethnic minority circa 15% have been plenty. It is time we start reminding Turks of their own ideas and how they could help address their Kurdish conundrum. The right time is now, while their constitutional upgrade is being debated.
