...in any case, Turkey has accepted blame. The existence of a local remedy, the IPC, is supposed to facilitate this decision for those who for whatever reason will not wait for a political change.
What exists is a general agreement which strongly implies the existence of a Cyprus, and within it a set of constituencies, where, they are equal, having the same powers exclusively, as constituencies.
Yet, a Federal Government exists. No Greek Constituency exists, and the Turkish Constituency is no equal to the Federal Government. As such, "the north" is isolated having no equal by their own actions.
Cyprus does exist. So do Cypriots. I suggest that Erdogan will recognise this fact soon. The "Turks", those in Cyprus, will find that they do not have as much support as they think, from the man who in the past has called them servant-slaves, or parasites. It will not surprise me to see the water from the "Peace pipe" is "gifted" to Cypriots, and not the "Turks", by Erdogan, standing in front of the Flag of Turkey beside the Flag of Cyprus, hugging, and kissing, Anastassiades, Tsipras, Hollande, Merkal, his equals, to celebrate such an auspicious day, even Obama, it might happen that soon. This would be one time where Erdogan can say, I'm sorry, publicly, to close a National issue where Turkey's tarnished image can be regained, with a few words and such a gesture.
