::::It's WP:OR for us to ascribe separatist tendencies to the TRNC people unless reliable sources have described them that way. We are not supposed to make inferences; we merely summarize.  Since the word 'separatist' is the opinion of Christopher Hitchens, maybe we should attribute that description to him. If anyone has access to the cited 1984 work by Hitchens, maybe they could describe here what it actually says. Including the word 'separatist' in the opening sentence is very prominent placement, considering that it might just be an editorial comment by Hitchens, one that he wrote 24 years ago. Does anyone know if he still holds that opinion?
