Cyprus is more Greek than Turkey is Turkish
Cyprus is more Greek than Turkey is Turkish. Way more. For far far longer! Protecting Cyprus's demographic integrity must be foremost on all our minds.

Turkey & the rights of Turkey's Kurds vs. the rights of Turkish Cypriots
Organizing a "Turkey & the rights of Turkey's Kurds vs. the rights of Turkish Cypriots" conference, under EU auspices, is a fantastic idea in order to raise awareness about Turkey's double standards in relation to the rights of large ethnic minorities within unitary states!

Make it so they cannot afford to ignore you
Dilana Kurdi April 6 [The Kurdish message is] very clear but I don't know why people don't understand!
Kyriacos Kyriakides I am sure they do understand. But doing something about it is very complex. It involves 4 countries, all members of the UN, none of which is willing to part with its current powers/authority. From where I stand, I see a lengthy process ahead, during which Kurds must do their utmost to cultivate, and rebuild where needed, their identity. The borders will come as history unfolds, in some places faster than others, and God forbid if Kurds are NOT already a determined united nation when history knocks on the respective doors.

Why does Cyprus have a 'Cyprus problem'?
Dear Minister,
Why does Cyprus have a 'Cyprus problem'?
I understand it may be a Cyprus problem from the UK's or Turkey's perspective, or even the UN's. But why do we Cypriots accept the humiliation that Cyprus has a Cyprus problem? What is so problematic about us that we need to advertise to the world as such? Where is our national pride?

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.
