As for 63 that is terrible date for tcs - the 13 amendments were the beginning of 11 years of hell for the tcs. Which was as unfair as 74 was for your community.
So again and for infinity NO
Hi, DTA,
I wouldn't exactly call the late Ozal a Kurd. He was only part Kurdish and born, raised, and educated in Turkey.
Regards.
He was part Kurdish you are right but was one of the most respected priministers of Turkey and was generally loved so being Kurdish (or part Kurdish did not matter. Turkey and Kurdish relations are a lot more complicated then our friend Antifon is trying to poutray for example only a very very small minority of kurdish people in Turkey vot for seperatist kurdish parties.
Please do not offend us by suggesting that Turkish-Kurdish relations are more complicated than I suggest. Kurds vote mainstream to fit in. Also the terror state equates PKK and the Kurdish parties in existence. How many have been dismantled already? How many times the EU accused you of such undemocratic acts. You have fascism in Turkey and Kurds try to survive by voting mainstream until better days come along.
DTA, the solution in Cyprus, the bridging in other words of the diverging interests of a circa 80% majority and a 20% ethnic minority (more like 10% today) as the prerequisite to delegitimize the purported need for Turkeyish presence in Cyprus, will be an inescapable reference and an extremely relevant legal precedent, as the Turkish Republic and her Kurds try to find a compromise solution to the 87-year long Kurdish problem, a problem between a circa 25% ethnic minority and a circa 70% majority of Turks.
This fact alone is enough for tCypriots to fear even greater animosity in the pipeline stemming from Turkey, as immature and unjustified as it will be, originating from their "mother" country's nationalist circles, the vast majority that is of Turkeyish population as a result of the lack of real democracy in the country.
At the end of the day all constituencies [Kurds, Cypriots (t's and g's), Turks] stand to gain from the inescapable comparison. The difference being that three constituencies are ready to embrace such drastic changes in their lives via the redefinition between majority and minority, two since long ago, namely Kurds and gCypriots, and tCypriots as of recent who see no other option but to turn to the gCypriots for help. I cannot say the same for the Turks of Turkey. May they opt for wise compromises as opposed to adventures into the unknown which may lead to unimaginable losses. If only Turks can muster the strength and garner the wisdom to talk to Cypriots about their own problems. The Kurdish issue might be solved overnight if accumulated Cypriot wisdom in majority minority relations is exploited.
By the way, Ozal had one Kurdish grandmother & did not speak Kurdish. And by the way, Turks [Ergenekon] killed him. A investigation still goes on to this day. Shall I send you the link in the Turkish press?
