Common Sense for Cyprus

It is no secret Cyprus has a Turkish problem.

The common will of Cypriots was captured in the resounding 76% of 'NO' votes in rejecting the 2004 Annan nonsensical concoction aimed to serve non-Cypriot interests. People from all walks of life, from the left to the right and beyond, came together to offer their wisdom and common sense, against foreigners urging and even threatening them to succumb. Cypriots sent the message that democracy, international law and human rights cannot be tailored or trimmed to suit foreign designs.

The "Commom of the Cypriots ("Κοινόν Κυπρίων") of our generation is our common will to give a thunderous 'NO' to a foreigners' plan aiming to legitimize two unforgivable wrongs. The extorted constitution of 1960 which solved Great Britain's "Cyprus problem" & the 1974 invasion that solved Turkey's "Cyprus problem", both at the expense of Cypriots. The fact is that Cypriots never actually had a Cyprus problem. Cypriots' only problem is Turkey since she started planting & nurturing the seed of division in the 1950s by exploiting the Muslim minority of our island and Britain's desire to maintain a sovereign military colonialist presence on Cyprus.

Our "Κοινόν Κυπρίων" today is no other than Cypriot common sense, western common sense, against Turkish hypocrisy and fascism!

We need a simple message to give our party leaders, Cypriot politicians, regardless who they may be for each of us, left, center or right of the spectrum, or in government.

We need to lead our leaders, like we did in 2004, and for this we must not antagonize them. After all they are bound by a series of mistakes, with each mistake tracing its roots to Cypriots fighting for their most universal of rights against the designs and interests of foreigners.

We cannot replace our politicians at the negotiating table but there is nothing stopping us from giving them a mandate so powerful they cannot ignore: our Cypriot common sense, our western common sense, our generation's "Κοινόν Κυπρίων"!
