(count them, at least three)
This is what Christofias repeats, RW:
" ... the united federal state would be one, with one single sovereignty, a single citizenship and a single international personality"
He doesn't mean one state, but a different sovereignty, another citizenship and still then another (third/fourth) different international personality!
ONE country!
there must exist two levels of governance, (the "Bi" in zonal and community) for a BBF to have a meaning which is repeatable, by other People, set in Principals that when applied generally provide the same results. indeed Christofias fights for a Unitary State, he is Cypriot, and the President of its Republic (in that sense it is easy, we are an island afterall). but the Person in our identity has no realisation without National Assemblies. as majorities we wish to sustain distinctions that are our Communal Heritance. what is wrong therefore with a Greek Constituency? ...and in this context, a State united, the People as this island's dwellers Sovereign, to defend and represent themselves, each as Individuals for Universal Principals they uphold, and as Persons demonstrate.
Here we have the Count:
a Greek Constituency
a Turkish Constituency
(maybe other Constituencies)
a State
three, or more; focus on that as a regle d'appui,
then think, two levels of governance.
honest thinking therefore considers that "this" will not stay the same
those that wish to resist change, divide
thus, my view, that "Greeks" and "Turks" have needs, which as a Cypriot,
i choose to refine.
but, i choose for a Cyprus that can sustain more than just "Greeks" and "Turks"
understand that the future brings great changes to this island's demographics, particularlly
with the threat of desertification.
The partnership will comprise a Federal Government with a single international personality, along with a Turkish Cypriot Constituent State and a Greek Cypriot Constituent State, which will be of equal status.
...this is what is agreed to
...so Christofias, i say good luck my Capitain, and weather this sewer stink that brews within the bildges of your ship, you prepare, and, as always it seems, godspeed woth the storms out to sea.
Finally, Greeks will have their say, with a Turkish Constituent State, a Greek Constituent State, (and others), that are equal, an ability to sustain this distinction as Persons, unified and under one State, they, "Greeks" as opposed to Greeks, will no longer feel they are indiscriminate in their Goodwill, as the State, they will have to build reciprocally on the cooperation that existed before, between Societies and within individual communities, ...before being subjected to interlocutors (creating these identities), who tore them apart. a Cypriot, will exist, (lol) perhaps with a Greek Constituency, mr X will be free, to defend this Right.
...and so long as we look at this Problem as "Greek" and "Turkish", we cannot end this subjugation, nor can we demonstrate a way of living which supports a betterment as Cypriots which we give in return, toward a greater Family of Man.
...who will believe me if i said that i've read Das Kapital three times in my life, that part was easy. who cares if my heart bleeds because social-exchange is so dismal as a science; and yet, Hope in providence, flutters from buterfly wings make storms.
again, please read my manifesto thingy, and revisit your posts on my manifesto; finish it: for Freedom. you are my dearest, dearest, the most noble in a world of witches, brews of passion, savoury or sweet, i still learn...
forgive my long reply ms. O. , my OP, i just want to be helpful with thoughts, like you for one love and one island.
...so what do you think, a Greek Constituency, is it a good time for it now?
