Mustafa Akinci, the leader of the Turkish Cypriot minority in Cyprus, strongly advocates:
- the political equality of Turks and Kurds
- Turk-Kurd rotational presidency in "Turkey"'s (RoT) new charter
- exclusive Kurdish education for RoT's Kurds
- external guarantees for RoT's long-persecuted Kurds
- Kurdish veto rights in RoT
- that Kurds, unlike Turkish Cypriots, have a legitimate claim to contiguous land
- a new flag & charter for RoT that recognizes the reality of two peoples
- PKK's armed struggle as a way to secure Kurds' rights in RoT
- the UN presence in RoT to secure the safety of the Kurdish people next to Turks
