Cyprus needs ideas like this to get the country to reunite. It has to come from the people.

I can understand dropping TRNC but at the end of the day they are Turkish Cypriots and shouldn't have to feel the need to hide that....

I haven't actually read the article as I'm browsing on my phone and it's too difficult to go backwards and forwards.
