When a reporter asked the Turkish prime minister: “Are you ready to give the Kurds in your country the rights you ask for Turkish Cypriots?” Erdogan said Kurds in Turkey unquestionably had all the rights other ethnic groups in the country do.

Citing his own multi-cultural marriage to an Arab as an example, Erdogan said encouraging that kind of attitude in Cyprus would solve the problem.

Since Turkish Cypriot "unquestionably" has all the rights of other ethnic groups in the Republic of Cyprus, can we assume that Mr. Erdogan's proposed solution to The Problem is that all Turkish Cypriots marry a Greek Cypriot?

Sounds like comment was lost in translation or Erdogan is lost in space! :lol:

But yes, Turkey's approach to Kurdish issue at odds with Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and yet not. One reason why Denktas could never get full Turkey OK/support on push for Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus recognition is Turkey aware same demands made for Kurds...

No problem at all...As Minister of Interior of the Paphian Republic,I will encourage all and every ethnic affair which will produce real little Cypriots.
These kids will be educated to speak both languages (plus English),and they will learn both religions from an early age(plus the the dangers of fundamentalism of all kinds)... :) :D
