Elections for Fun and British Bases

The article comments on the President's raising of the issue of British bases in Cyprus at a time when international law is systematically violated by powerful forces. Although the bases are a colonial relic, the current moment is considered inappropriate to raise the issue, as there is a risk that the Turks will claim the bases in Dhekelia. The author criticizes the lack of disagreement from parties and journalists, characterizing the President's action as recklessness. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the need for responsible citizen behavior in the upcoming elections and warns against the dangers of choosing untested candidates. Finally, it highlights the value of life and taking responsibility for our choices.
