MUSTAFA AKYOL
In Turkey, we keep discussing the most current of the current affairs – such as the prime minister’s “crazy project,” the opposition’s effort for renewal, or the mess on university exams. But it would also be helpful to stop for a minute, take a breath, and remember where we are coming from.
I had a sobering experience about that a few weeks ago, when I wrote a piece in Turkish titled, “The Address to the Youth should be abandoned as well.” The “address” to which I was referring was from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. It is a 1933 text presented in every textbook and classroom wall, and is memorized by all students.

Do read the entire article. It addresses the very root of Cyprus' and Kurds' Turkeyish problem.
In Cyprus there is but one reality: the Republic of Cyprus. International law will in the end be respected. Human rights must be respected. Turkeyish fascism won't be allowed to succeed. Because of energy, Cyprus either as a hub, a route, or a source or in all capacities, has become invaluable to the EU and western interests at large.
Minor Turkey lost the game. She simply has not received the memo yet. In the mean time, her Kurds [23+%] are getting impatient asking for nothing less than what Minor Turkey preaches in Cyprus for tCypriots.
