...choose, choose vp.
in Cyprus we can demonstrate for what is right, and that is the Cypriot Flag that flies higher, not "Greek", not "Turkish", and nothing should prevent Free Expression, or Association, and likewise Mobility, this is what Cyprus offers us, even in this dysfunctional form, today ( ; if there existed a Greek Constituency, as well as a Republic, and a Turkish Constituency ).
Merit should count far more than "Turkishness" or "Greekness" wouldn't you agree, and yet it already does (or at least, it has begun), Cyprus exists because that is the intent (of Mankind (but Turkey); yes or no whether Annan failed we all went to vote as Cypriots), and thanks to the over-site that goes along with being a responsible member of the EU. equality has many meanings and many levels. why not the equality of Persons, so that as Individuals, defending each other, we can sustain an ethnosphere, a State, not just "our" respective Nations.
...political equality of Turkish Cypriots, invites an opportunity for this Liberty, as Maronites, Armenians, Latins, even Britons, as well as Greeks; i find that hopeful. better Schools and Hospitals for their children, better service in a Language of choice (closer to their tax dollars), greater choice as Cypriots. but, for these Constituencies to have this representation as National Assemblies, there must be a superior Governance to define and better the Universal Principals these electors, and their Freedom as Citizens of a bigger world, demonstrate, in electing a Federal Government that is Cypriot, first.
i will ask again, if a Greek Constituency appeared, to be an equal to the Turkish Constituency, would you accept the reform of the Republic so that its existence would represent us as Cypriots? (n.b. with the existence of Cypriot Constituencies, it (the Federal Government) is no longer obliged to defend the majority as "Greeks") and if the territorial jurisdictions of these Constituencies was settled among themselves, wouldn't it be possible, because there is a Republic (Sovereignty is not the question) to which they can make their presentation, in unanimity?
