Why recognize Turkey?

Dear Minister,

If Turkey does not recognize Cyprus, why does Cyprus recognize Turkey?

Sincerely,

The Solution

The solution in Cyprus is a unitary state, 1960 without its apartheid and foreign intervention aspects. The 1963 ideas would have been a solid step in the right direction, albeit timed wrongly. There has never really been a good time for common sense in Cyprus due to Turkish/British agendas. Only now have the prerequisites appeared and the conditions matured.

Kurdish freedom

I love this photo. It has 'Kurdish Freedom' written all over it!

Demographic integrity and bullying

In a letter (22 March 2012) to US Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Howard L. Berman, urges a “thoroughgoing re-assessment” of the US policy on Cyprus, taking into account Turkey’s military threats ["Turkey's threats constitute bullying and are way out of line"] against Cyprus and its “colonialist transfer of population from the Turkish mainland.”

Language reveals Turkish hypocrisy

Ethnic Turks think it is inconceivable for Kurds in Turkey not to speak Turkish. Would they agree then it is only fair for the Turkish Cypriot minority to have to learn Greek? Because if Turkey should speak Turkish only, then Cyprus must speak only Greek. After all, Cyprus is both historically and as a matter of fact more Greek than Turkey ever was Turkish.
