So, even though you are probably less than 18% nowadays, some estimated you to be even less than 15%, you wouldn’t accept any participation into the civil service that is less than 30%. In other words you demand not just to have equal employment opportunities as individuals, but in fact you expect twice as high opportunities compare to the Greek Cypriots.
Well, at least you do not claim all (100%) of the civil service positions, as your father, Kemal bey, taught you to always demand, based on his famous motto, "one Turk equals the whole world."
However, in Greek we have another motto. "Opios thelei ta polla, channei kai ta liga," meaning, "anyone demanding too much, in the end looses even the very little!"
