New flag for a new country!

Postby antifon » Wed May 11, 2011 11:55 pm

Turkey Minor discusses a brand new constitution. Aristotle defined a revolution as a major constitutional amendment. Turkey's biggest challenge is how to address the long-standing Kurdish issue. Kurds seek nothing less than the transformation of the country into a federation between ethnic Turks and ethnic Kurds. Not dissimilar to what tCypriots ask for in Cyprus. I propose a new flag to accompany the new Turko-Kurdish constitution, with one olive branch for each of the major communities of the country to signify their living in peace in a united land.

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 by applying similar principles to similar problems?

Not all of us have the wisdom of those in the center of the universe. We do our best nevertheless.

The point as you understand is not related to the color combination. Is this more to your liking?

yes. colour's better... but it's the shape i got a problem with.... turkey's just ugly (the shape i mean... well not only)...

i think cyprus should just take the place over and run the whole show if they can't see eye to eye.... so how about...?

and to stop all the bad blood we can call the people "turds" (a compound of the words turks and kurds).

If you think about it at least in Cyprus we have the blessing of all of us being Cypriot. In Turkey Minor on the other hand, they only uniting option they have is your suggestion, Turds! :lol:

Unity in Cyprus is far easier simply because of semantics!
