dudes, I know it doesn't mean much, but I read every word, very interesting food for thought.
...frankly, it is like the expression be careful what you wish for lest you get what you want. all eyes in Turkey are on Cyprus, it is like a National pastime. if Turkey divides it successfully she can expect the same for herself. if Turkey is to stay one big Country, a State, then it will have to recognise that the Turkic population, are equals to the other Constituencies (somehow), in having the same needs toward sustaining themselves. It is not likely, in Cyprus, and in Turkey, that this issue can be so lightly treated and dismissed, that the "minorities', in either case, do not warrant the Liberty they demand, one way or another it will have to end with respect and recognition.
...the shoeboxes can just as well be used to secretly inject money into the Turkish economy, if it is a question of survival, it would not be so difficult for "them" to line their pockets less full, and dress up the windows. i imagine a kind of trickle-up economic model where you get small amounts to the poorest and most loyal first, a share of the Tribute, literally small amounts of money under the table so to speak, a secret, their share, for their loyalty, for them to buy locally, a small trickle if you will, but from what might be close to twenty percent of the population, but steady and from the Rural areas, will ultimately stimulate the Urban economy. it will do a lot for Erdogan, in demonstrating, through the statistics Banker's rely on, that in Turkey his economic miracle continues...
...just yacking guys, sorry, eh?
...now imagine how the "children" play into all of this, Erdogan (out to take over the(read: his share (Western)) world), an Islamist who supports Jihadists, who is buddies with other middle countries, when it comes to competition, China, Iran, Pakistan, and Brazil.
