LIVE: Wreath-Laying Ceremony Marks 50th Anniversary of Cyprus War That Split the Nation
Air raid sirens wailed across Cyprus's divided capital Nicosia at dawn on Saturday as Greek Cypriots mourned, and Turkish Cypriots celebrated, 50 years since Turkey invaded part of the island in response to a brief Greek-inspired coup. The ethnically split island is a persistent source of tension between Greece and Turkey, which are both partners in NATO but are at odds over numerous issues. Their differences were laid bare on Saturday, with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan attending a celebratory military parade in north Nicosia to mark the day in 1974 when Turkish forces launched an offensive that they call a "peace operation".

A divided Country, like many.

because history saw it.

They tried to do what the Serbs did in Bosnia in the 1990s. They raided Turkish villages and massacred civilians. They still have the same mindset. If there are those who do not believe, they should check the United Nations reports. Or he can also check the reports of the British officers who were on the island at that time. They scratched their heads and warned Turkey for ten years. They played Turkish music on the radio called "We waited but we didn't come." They buried the children alive. If anyone doesn't believe, investigate, you will see them all. In the end, Türkiye became the guarantor for the Turkish people.

We said that we’d come one night unexpectedly. Do not play games with the Turks, you should have learned this after 42 defeats against the Turks.
