...you guys know me, so i'm asking in all seriousness, what with the meetings in January, soon: what can Erdogan do, in Geneva, toward a positive outcome?
I say,
He can recognise Cyprus, and solve a lot of problems domestically with Turkey's own Constitutional reforms. A BBF in Turkey is not anathema to his own goals really.
(One Cyprus, One Turkey)
...worse, the worst as an outcome a Cyprus divided. I would think, for Erdogan, it cannot mean, at this moment, a Turkey united.
He can stand with the united guests, the "interested parties", for Cyprus, or be, yet amongst them, "but one", again, ; in any case the world will be watching.
He can "gift" the water and the electricity, that has a price, now that they are in private (read: his) hands, to Cyprus, the Republic, a gift to all Cypriots, as a lasting symbol, restitution to recognise a wrong.
He can express his interest as Cyprus' ally, in organising tripartite meetings, which evolve to a regional representation of Eastern Mediterranean countries, bettering themselves, and the Middle Eastern world.
He can shake hands with President Anastasiades under the Flag of Cyprus, smiling, while his contemporaries from around the world would cheer.
He can be a Hero, in Cyprus, there can be a good reason for a statue of him as tall as Makarios, and a day every year yet celebrated more fully, by all Cypriots, with just a few words.
He can remove his troops from Cyprus, by choosing the day. He can challenge Great Britain to do the same.
