    The first “rebellion against the modern state [of Turkey] took place in February 1925” (Robins 1993). The leader of the rebellion was a man named “Sheikh Said of Prian, a Kurdish religious leader” (Robins 1993). His platform, unlike Kemal, was “far from being exclusively nationalist” and by doing so, he gained support “on the basis of tribal and religious allegiance” (Robins 1993). This threat to the state was more than enough for the state to “ruthlessly suppress” the rebellion (Robins 1993). By doing so, the Turkish state “underlined the centrality of the use of coercion in Turkish policy on the Kurdish issues” (Robins 1993). The state also used tactics “which have been used against the current insurgency” which resulted in the use of ideology based on “ethno-nationalism, drawing from [the] European experience” (Robins 1993). Thus, just as in the beginning of the Turkish state, ethnic separation was being used to establish the legitimacy of the state, and undermine all those who were not a part of this group. This tactic was used to grow and legitimize nationalism within the state by allowing the majority to rally, despite differences, and isolate a minority, and in the specific case of Turkey, this minority is the Kurds, “simultaneously denying and coopting” their existence (Robins…

    Anastasiades on the other hand, has to come up with a solution that will be satisfactory for the Greek Cypriots as they were the ones that were harmed the most recently. Both leaders want to rebuild trust between two nations. President of Cyprus wants to change the mindset of the Cypriots - instead of identifying with their original nationality, he wants to create a society with an uniformity of nationality of the population, classifying everyone as Cypriots. Cyprus is also a smaller country, and with increasing initiative coming from the Greek and Turkish sides to solve the dispute, the island may soon face a huge integration of people. Another factor is that the new generation is not willing to live the way their parents and grandparents lived, in hate and constant fear, therefore they’re more likely to let go the historical events and start a new life together. On the contrary, the South China Sea conflict involves many nations with a past filled with cruelty and hatred (such as China and Japan), and the conflicts are driven by greed to claim the islands and areas rich in petroleum, therefore the conflict is less likely to be solved by the end of this year, however in the coming decade it is…
