SÜRYANI SOYKIRIM YALANI Lozan konferansının kesintiye uğradığı günlerde, Süryani Patrik İlyas, Anadolu’da Yeni Gün gazetesinde “Mustafa Kemal Paşa’yı Görmek Farzdır!” başlığıyla yayımlanan söyleşisinde, Süryanilerin Azınlık ayrıcalıkları istemediklerini söylemiştir ⬇️

Türkiye, a guarantor power for the island of Cyprus, lawfully intervened to prevent the Greek Cypriot community of the island from ethnically cleansing the Turkish Cypriot community of the island during a Greece-backed coup attempt. Many insincere narrative spinning Greek Cypriots and Greeks always fail to mention their actions that resulted in Türkiye having to launch the Cyprus Peace Operation. If the operation wasn’t launched, there probably wouldn’t be any Turkish Cypriots left on the island and if by chance a couple survived they would be called Cypriot Muslims most likely. Unfortunately the far-right mindset and Enosis ideology that led to the 1963 Bloody Christmas Massacre and the ethnic cleansing events of 1974 still remain today. Greek Cypriots have had multiple chances to unify the island throughout the half century of its division. But their maximalist demands, rejection of the UN’s Annan plan and failure to even view Turkish Cypriots as equal owners of the island have stymied all past diplomatic efforts. Unfortunately their EU membership has compounded the problem. While they are basically subsidized - Turkish Cypriots live under embargo and the EU expects healthy negotiations while there is such great inequality. The presence of Turkish troops on the island are the only security guarantee Turkish Cypriots have.

Looking back, Turkey was unable to prevent the ethnic cleansing carried out by Greeks on the island of Crete. This was because the means available at the time were limited. However, Turkey intervened in Cyprus to stop the Greeks from carrying out the same ethnic cleansing there.

Dear Charles, since you are talking about double standards, let me remind you that Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, and still occupies European territory, 🇨🇾🇪🇺

There are no indigenous Turks in Crete today; in fact, the indigenous Arabs of Crete were also exterminated. They attempted the same model of ethnic cleansing in Cyprus. You can draw parallels between what happened in Cyprus up until 1974 and what occurred in Crete.
