Cyprus, the whale

Because of Cypriot gas, if indeed found, the EU and its allies [USA, Russia, Israel] will pay much closer attention to Turkey's bullying tactics. I predict a tsunami of positive decisions and actions for the Cyprus Republic. Let us prepare our ideal solution of re-integrating back whatever population of authentic tCypriots still remain in Cyprus, as well as those who wish to return.

Our leaders are criminally negligent if they do not already have 1960 v2.0 ready, an offshoot of Makarios' 1963 ideas adjusted for the acquis communautaire & planned sensitive reversal of all ill-effects of 1974. It may be hard for many of you to believe but a large percentage of tCypriots hope we prepare & will thank us for being ready to reintegrate them into Cypriot society and norms.

I wish yet again to urge all of you for a paradigm shift. We have goodness in our hearts & western reason in our minds. We can easily place ourselves in tCypriots' shoes and come up with logical safeguards for their community. However, we the people, unlike some gCypriot politicians, must not communicate to foreigners, tCypriots or worse our elected politicians through our words and actions that we recognize any right of veto to the tCypriot community which hardly surpasses 10% of population today.

Returning to the 1960 agreements is simply not acceptable. It cannot be if we have any historical sense and Cypriot pride left. Furthermore, tCypriots chose to exit those agreements anyway following Turkey's advice. They cannot expect their rights back a few decades later upon request as if nothing happened, as if the Republic of Cyprus is now the same Republic they left behind. Especially when their utterly idiotic policy of self-segregation resulted in so much suffering. A large percentage of tCypriots recognize that the community will need to negotiate its way back in and it is ludicrous for them to insist on the idiotic "rights" Turkey extorted on their behalf in 1960.

Let me close these thoughts by stressing again the mistake in our thinking and the urgent need for a paradigm shift. It is wrong to allow ourselves to recognize that the tCypriots, a mere 10% of Cypriot population today, are entitled to veto rights and obscene guaranteed representation within the Republic's structures. They are certainly not! The tCypriot veto & the foolish equating of 18% to 82% were two of the main problems of 1960. Dynamite at the very foundation, masterfully planted to prepare for the completion of TAKSIM/ PARTITION.

The same forces that prepared the TAKSIM strategy, Ergenekon et al, still influence/shape Turkish foreign policy to this day and regard Cyprus as the their most valued prize. We must let them know who is boss in Cyprus! I can think of no better way than the Cypriot people mandating their leaders, regardless of political faction, the basis upon which they are allowed to discuss an agreement on our behalf. Our mandate must stress to our leaders that they ought to dictate the solution, taking into account tCypriot legitimate concerns but without necessarily seeking the agreement from a small minority, whose political will was hijacked by Turkey since long ago anyway.

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.
