It was probably a fare after all. Apparently it was a blogger who came with this story after all. It was not an official reuter report.

Well, still, it was Reuters blog. Which means that the writer should have double checked their sources and is probably not making things up.

If there's one thing you can count on it's Cypriot tradition.

Bicommunal in my mind means the recognition of people as Individuals and as well, as Persons. A strong Central government will serve to protect and defend the Individual Rights of all citizens equally as a State, and as this island's dwellers. National Assemblies will allow, on the other hand, Communities to sustain themselves through self representation, with a territorial Jurisdiction overwhich they can serve; as well as allowing its majority to demonstrate their commitment to Basic Human Rights, by providing for the special needs of the minorities (regardless the population's size) amongst them.

Added to this effort, since 1974, is the Principal of Bizonality which never meant tearing the island in two, nor the acceptance of a 'fait accompli' through illegal acts. Thus, beyond the Right of Return for displaced individuals there is the issue of communities lost to the intolerance of extremists whose success has left them alone satisfied with at least having isolated themselves from their counterparts.

Enclaves are not a dirty word if like spots which cover the entire island, they are added to the geographic fabric. They will serve to end this unnatural isolation. They will add diversity to each culture, both Grecophone and Turcophone (Maronite, Armenian, etc.as well). They will allow for less disruption and more choice for the affected. They will allow for a return of many communities lost to ignorant acts. They will allow for an end to the "border" even if it remains, with Free Movement, Association and Expression equally for all. While many frontiers will exist, all citizens will have as Individuals an identity as Cypriots while people will enjoy an identity that has its own distinctions as Persons, by their location as well as culture.

Beyond the Nationalistic pride foisted on these people through their respective "motherlands", there is the necessity for the betterment of a condition which is Human, with an end to the denials which fuel the impasse, an end to the pain caused by the proxy war of these interlocutors, and an end to the subjugation which has existed in the broadest sense for thousands of years over the island's inhabitants, which the rest of us can emulate with esteem.
