@@benvad9010 How can you deny a people of certain ethnic origin with long historical presence in their island self determination and unity to their ethnic relatives.

Some interesting points. But didn’t mention the facts. 1 - Turkey invaded twice. The second invasion happened after the coup collapsed. So there was no need for the second invasion as the status quo had been re-instated. 2 - The whole of Cyprus is in the EU not just the free areas. He talks about the Greeks as being a separate state. All Cypriots are represented by the Republic of Cyprus. With 1000,s of Turkish speaking Cypriots claiming their ID cards, passports and some even living in the free areas. 3 - His idea of a Turkish Cypriot state is an area we’re limited Greek speaking Cypriots can live. This goes against all European laws on the rights of Europeans to live and own property anywhere in the EU. 4 - As a property owner in the occupied areas. I am forbidden from enjoying my property. They claim that my land and house has been forcibly exchanged. This goes against every fundamental human right law. We’re as all Turkish speaking Cypriots have the right to re-claim their property in the free areas. He didn’t address any of these issues
As someone who has lived in Cyprus since 1982 I would actually be inclined to agree with a lot of what Mr. Tatar says BUT what he fails to remember is that there was 2 phases to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus - the first. Which could have been somehow justified as it came against the backdrop of a Greek Cypriot coup against the legitimate leader of the Republic of Cyprus at the time - archbishop Makarios AND there was an obvious danger to the Turkish minority on the island as Greek nationalists now held power. However, once the dust had settled and an agreement was in reach the Turks pulled out and put into action the second Phase of the invasion which was in blatant breach of international law. One can also assume that this had been in the plans for a long time. The Turkish minority and (Denktash) always favoured Taksim - 2 separate chucks of the island for the 2 communities and this is what they forced. Let's not even mention the shipping in of 100,000's of mainland Turks to change the ethnic makeup asap following the invasion. Hence the "Republic of Northern Cyprus" has no place in the international community.
Maybe you should consider that the Greek Cypriots and Eoka were still killing Turkish Cypriots after "the dust settled". All Turkish enclaves were under siege and under attack and that ended on August 16 1974, after the second phase. Maybe explore the reasons for the 2nd phase more before you make such statements. The Turkish Cypriots had no part in the Greek coup and the Greek invasion on 15 July 1974 but they came under attack. You suggest that Turkiye should have sat back and watched a genocide taking place. I lost relatives during the time between 15 July and 16 August, murdered, not victims of any war.

The Republic of Turkey is the invader and occupying power. They forcibly removed the native Greek Speaking Cypriot population, preventing them from rightfully returning, they forced Turkish Cypriots to relocate to the area under occupation, turkey transfered it own population (settler colonialists) to change the demographics. The Turkish Cypriot Community Leadership made a declaration of independence that was condemned legally invalid and asked for its withdrawal.
@@ismailhassan7165 this is a fallacious statement. There was no population exchange agreement. I believe you are referring to the Clerides and Denktas communique 02/08/1975. Denktas failed to implement this. The communique stipulated that Turkish Cypriots still remaining in the government controlled areas were free to move to the occupied territories and the Greek Cypriots still remaining in the occupied territories (around 20,000) were free to stay there and to be provided with facilities to lead a normal life, additionally Greek Cypriot who were now in the government controlled areas who had family in the occupied territories would be allowed to return. The 20,000 Greek Cypriots who attempted to remain trapped under occupation; were subjected to a systematic policy of human rights violations, harassment, discrimination, persecution, psychological torture, not even 300 Greek Cypriots remain.

I mean, the guy is right. Turks genocided half of Anatolia, and the UN recognised that land as Turkish. Now Azerbaidjan genocides two areas and gets legaly the land by some birocratic gymnastics. I bet he is outraged. They killed millions and got away with it. Now, people surely can get over them killing half an island.
People have forgotten that Cyprus was rented to the British by the Ottomans and that at one point Greece, Turkey and England had signed a treaty. However, when the treaty was violated and it was enforced at one point that Cyprus should be joined with Greece, the Turkish Cypriot minority had found themselves part of a civil war between those that wanted Cyprus to be united with Greece and those that didn't. Bülent Ecevit visited England to ask for help. As always, England turned their noses and Turkey who had signed the Treaty too intervened to stop the bloodshed. The UN may not recognise the northern part, which consists of many Turkish Cypriots who left their homes from Larnaca and Limassol, but they know how to benefit from the beaches here and live comfortably doing nothing! He is right! It is not fair and Turkish Cypriots have been isolated for more than 50 years. The more Turkish Cypriots are isolated, the more chance there is you will be dealing with Israel soon because they are buying the land as part of another mission. Believe me, Cypriots can see this happening and that is also another reason why international laws do not want us united. Whether you recognise us or not, Turkish Cypriots exist and have done since 1500s. An EU stamp means nothing. We exist!

Yeah right.. A peace operation that is ongoing for 50 years! At the time, Turkey was one of three guarantor powers for the constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. If any they only had the right to take action only to reestablish the constitution being threaten by a coup.. All the war crimes that took place since not only shout invasion but also their barbaric nature against a small island. Turkey took over cyprus for them selves, holding both Greek and Turkish Cypriots as hostages for Turkeys geopolitical interests..
1. The claim that Turkey acted legitimately as a guarantor power is bogus since upon their “intervention” they never restored constitutional order and returned the legitimate President to power. In fact they never even suggested such an eventuality. 2. The co-founding of the republic had a clear statement of proportionality contained therein. Mr Tatar chooses to ignore that element and substitutes proportionality with numeric equality. 3. Mr Tatar did not provide an answer as to what the “TRNC” would be prepared to give in exchange for recognition. Basically it appears that he “wants it all”. 4. Mr Tatar’s population calculations are astonishing and bizarre, ignoring the reality of large numbers of Turkish citizens who have been brought over to inhabit the empty properties of the evicted Greek Cypriots. 5. Yes we did have Enosis in 1974. It was Enosis (Union) of part of Cyprus with Turkey. Mr Tatar’s puppet state, with Turkish currency, the presence of a huge Turkish army, massive Turkish subsidies is all but in name part of Turkey.

In 2004, a referendum was held for a two-state federative country under UN control, to which the Greeks said no and the Turks said yes. In other words, it was the Greek Cypriots who did not want a solution, not the Turks. What needs to be done now is for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to be recognized by other states. Northern Cyprus has shown great development, especially in the last 10 years, despite the embargoes. If such an embargo had been applied to the southern part of Cyprus, there would have been no difference from Afghanistan.
In 1974 Turkey invaded the Republic of Cyprus and killed a lot of civillians too. The state that he proclaims is territories of the Republic and the fact that Turkey still has 40k troop is a violation of international law and human rights, due to the inability of the rightful owners to go back to their houses. And he is talking about human rights? Extremely provocative.
What about the human rights of the people and children of the whole massacred villages? What about the right to life of the entire school murdered by Greek Cypriots? You think property is the be all and end all of your hypocrisy! When it suits you you ignore the facts!

The problem Mr Tatar conveniently forgets is that there is no such thing as a Greek Cypriot or a Turkisk Cypriot. They are all Cypriots and the language they choose to speak is unimportant. Cypriots want Independance from both Greece and Turkey. That will require the removal of the Turkish Army and the 200,000 plus forced Turkish migrants and their dependants.
He has not conveniently forgotten anything. The terms Greek and Turkish Cypriot were created for the 1960 constitution. previously the British referred to the communities as Christian and Muslim. The term Cypriot is cultural and has nothing to do with nationality. Cypriot has been hijacked by the Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus . If the GCs had yes to Anan Plan they would have had most of Morphu and Varosha, no border and the Turkish troops would have been in the numbers given in the 1960 constitution of 650 only. Greece would have had 750. Your last comment is racist and smacks of the same kind of rhetoric of the BNP.

technically it is in the EU, because Cyprus legally owns the entire island. and cyprus is an eu member. the Turkish regime has set up a de facto state in Cypriot land. this doesn't stop cyprus from being the de jure owner. Cyprus does not however have control over the occupied parts.
@@olbiomoiros how can it own the whole land. You have villages that have always been 100% Turkish Cypriot and you also have Turkish titled land. Don’t forget the island had changed hands numerous times. Byzantine, Roman, Ottoman.
Greece as well as other countries has already officially recognized Northern Cyprus officially. By announcing that it will open a naval base in Southern Cyprus, it has accepted the fact that Southern and Northern Cyprus are separate countries. Since Turkey is a guarantor state in the order and treaty which Greece insists on, it is necessary to obtain permission from Turkey before such a declaration of building anything of strategic importance. Stating that they would not obtain it, they recognized and accepted the existence of Northern Cyprus and that the two are separate countries. Greece also conveyed its statements as it would be built in Southern Cyprus, that is, Greece stated that Southern Cyprus is a different country. Simple is that.

What did the UK do with its two military basis in Cyprus to prevent the turkish invasion of the Island? Why asking a non European country the right to be part of the European Union?
Let's be honest reading the comment section is an exercise in prejudice and ignorance. Clearly many have no clue on the history and dynamics on the island. Once you read the facts and stop spouting others biased opinions you realize the claim of 'invasion' is an utter sham, it was a clear 'intervention' to stop the ongoing slaughter of Turkish Cypriots on the island, the military intervention was a legal right given to Greece, turkey and the United Kingdom as guarantor powers. In fact Turkey even requested the United Kingdom to join them in the military intervention...as much as people want to claim it was an invasion, legally it far from it according to the conventions agreed upon.
but the intervention was to restor order, which was done. Why stay and make demands which were always on the agend from 1955. As for ongoing slaughter, not a single Turkish Cypriot was killed from 1967 and those that were killed were after the invasion in 1974, which itsef was a crime and there was no excuse.
@@sonnyjoannou9413 You tell me why entire Turkish Cypriot villages and a whole school of innocent children were killed 3 weeks after the intervention.

Can you explain why as soon as the Republic was born Turkey was sending over ships loaded with weapons, the Deniz being one of them. No one was punnished. Can you explain why as soon as the Republic was born a number of so called teachers came over from Turky, who all happened to have just left the military. Can you explain why Denktash had a couple of Mosques blown up or why two Turkish Cypriot Journalists were killed after they threatened to expose who gave the order. Can you explain the killing of Kavasoglou, (the killers are known) after he gave a speach as the the tactics used by Denktash and his ilk to foster division? All killings, no mattr who perpetuated them are a crime against humanity but the killings are not one sided.

The presenter is wrong when he says the "Turkish invasion of Cyprus is regarded as illegal by the United Nations" (6:04). Firstly, it wasn't an "invasion" but a legitimate military intervention under rights granted by an international treaty following the Greek invasion of Cyprus that aimed to annex the island to Greece. Secondly, the United Nations has never explicitly declared Turkey's 1974 military intervention in Cyprus, which brought peace to the island, as "illegal".
It's funny how this type of news is hijacked by uneducated and brainwashed Greeks and Greek Cypriots who have no inkling of the history of Cyprus and spout propaganda.
Well you should also complete the entire issue regarding legitmate rights of intervention. It was that in the event that an intervention was needed, it was to restore constitutional order which was done after the first phase, not carry out a further incursion, remain, change the demography and demand a state.
First mistake he is the one trying to cause a divide we are cypriots in the Republic of cyprus he trys to call us greek Republic of cyprus. This man needs get out. Illegslly occupying cypriot land
Embargoes against Turkish Cypriots are inhumane. We need confidence building measures which are meaningful. Fact remains Turkish Cypriots voted to reunify the island in 2004 and there were promises made by many in the international community none of which have ever materialised.. This is not up for discussion. Fact.
Unless the Turkish Cypriots vote for Turkish settlers to go home, for the Turkish forces to go home, for all Cypriots to be able to return to their legally owned properties on the North and South, under the banner and sovereignty of the European Union member, The Republic of Cyprus. Then Greeks will always vote no. Turkish Cypriots need to decide for themselves whether they are better off as a stranded, embargoed, illegal and unrecognised pseudo Republic, or to come back home as a genuine member of the free, and internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus.

FYİ request British government transcripts of parliament from 1974 u der freedom of information act, they were asked by Türkiye to intervene as it would be better for them to do so ,due to a Labour government at the time they refused and told Türkiye to do so.
In 1974 Turkish Cypriots held deeds to 32% of the land. GCs seem to think that because TCs were 18% of the population that is all the land they are entitled too. This is how they believe their own propaganda and the lies they are told. All the land that Larnaca and Paphos airports are built on and the surrounding land are Turkish Cypriot owned land. The GCs like to use "stolen land" in their rhetoric but forget that all those lands where the airports are were really stolen with no compensation to the original owners. They are the worse hypocrites on this planet and think they are the highest order of human beings when in fact they are the lowest. They murdered their way to independence to carry on with their dream of enosis and did not stop their plan of genocide to exterminate all TCs on Cyprus.
Peace on our island is crucial for our future. As young people, we have a unique opportunity to foster unity and understanding. Our vision is to create an environment where all communities, including those from Turkey and Greece, can thrive together. War and conflict have only brought pain and division. We firmly reject this path, choosing instead the power of dialogue and mutual respect. By embracing these values, we aim to build a society where cooperation replaces discord, and diversity is seen as a strength. Let's work together to make our island a beacon of hope and a model for peaceful coexistence. This is our chance to shape a future defined by unity and progress, benefitting not just our island but all nations involved.

Particularly when the Turkish Cypriots were Christians converted into Islam by an invading and occupying power like the Ottoman empire.
Yes there were incidents between the two communities mainly fueled by outsiders like Turkey which had played its geopolitical game in the Eastern Mediterranean as evidence has clearly shown over the last 50 years, and even more today.
Some interesting points. But didn’t mention the facts.
1 - Turkey invaded twice. The second invasion happened after the coup collapsed. So there was no need for the second invasion as the status quo had been re-instated.
2 - The whole of Cyprus is in the EU not just the free areas. He talks about the Greeks as being a separate state. All Cypriots are represented by the Republic of Cyprus. With 1000,s of Turkish speaking Cypriots claiming their ID cards, passports and some even living in the free areas.
3 - His idea of a Turkish Cypriot state is an area we’re limited Greek speaking Cypriots can live. This goes against all European laws on the rights of Europeans to live and own property anywhere in the EU.
4 - As a property owner in the occupied areas. I am forbidden from enjoying my property. They claim that my land and house has been forcibly exchanged. This goes against every fundamental human right law. We’re as all Turkish speaking Cypriots have the right to re-claim their property in the free areas.
He didn’t address any of these issues
You aint getting sh.. go cry to eu😊
As someone who has lived in Cyprus since 1982 I would actually be inclined to agree with a lot of what Mr. Tatar says BUT what he fails to remember is that there was 2 phases to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus - the first. Which could have been somehow justified as it came against the backdrop of a Greek Cypriot coup against the legitimate leader of the Republic of Cyprus at the time - archbishop Makarios AND there was an obvious danger to the Turkish minority on the island as Greek nationalists now held power. However, once the dust had settled and an agreement was in reach the Turks pulled out and put into action the second Phase of the invasion which was in blatant breach of international law. One can also assume that this had been in the plans for a long time. The Turkish minority and (Denktash) always favoured Taksim - 2 separate chucks of the island for the 2 communities and this is what they forced. Let's not even mention the shipping in of 100,000's of mainland Turks to change the ethnic makeup asap following the invasion. Hence the "Republic of Northern Cyprus" has no place in the international community.
Maybe you should consider that the Greek Cypriots and Eoka were still killing Turkish Cypriots after "the dust settled". All Turkish enclaves were under siege and under attack and that ended on August 16 1974, after the second phase. Maybe explore the reasons for the 2nd phase more before you make such statements. The Turkish Cypriots had no part in the Greek coup and the Greek invasion on 15 July 1974 but they came under attack. You suggest that Turkiye should have sat back and watched a genocide taking place. I lost relatives during the time between 15 July and 16 August, murdered, not victims of any war.

Answer panturkic the area!!
Well said Thankyou!
There is no answer. Only bla bla
The Republic of Turkey is the invader and occupying power. They forcibly removed the native Greek Speaking Cypriot population, preventing them from rightfully returning, they forced Turkish Cypriots to relocate to the area under occupation, turkey transfered it own population (settler colonialists) to change the demographics. The Turkish Cypriot Community Leadership made a declaration of independence that was condemned legally invalid and asked for its withdrawal.
The population exchange was agreed between the leaders of both communities in Vienna. No one was forced to move anywhere if they did not want to.
@@ismailhassan7165 this is a fallacious statement. There was no population exchange agreement. I believe you are referring to the Clerides and Denktas communique 02/08/1975. Denktas failed to implement this. The communique stipulated that Turkish Cypriots still remaining in the government controlled areas were free to move to the occupied territories and the Greek Cypriots still remaining in the occupied territories (around 20,000) were free to stay there and to be provided with facilities to lead a normal life, additionally Greek Cypriot who were now in the government controlled areas who had family in the occupied territories would be allowed to return. The 20,000 Greek Cypriots who attempted to remain trapped under occupation; were subjected to a systematic policy of human rights violations, harassment, discrimination, persecution, psychological torture, not even 300 Greek Cypriots remain.
Correct!@@TerryLefteri

I mean, the guy is right. Turks genocided half of Anatolia, and the UN recognised that land as Turkish.
Now Azerbaidjan genocides two areas and gets legaly the land by some birocratic gymnastics.
I bet he is outraged. They killed millions and got away with it. Now, people surely can get over them killing half an island.
People have forgotten that Cyprus was rented to the British by the Ottomans and that at one point Greece, Turkey and England had signed a treaty. However, when the treaty was violated and it was enforced at one point that Cyprus should be joined with Greece, the Turkish Cypriot minority had found themselves part of a civil war between those that wanted Cyprus to be united with Greece and those that didn't. Bülent Ecevit visited England to ask for help. As always, England turned their noses and Turkey who had signed the Treaty too intervened to stop the bloodshed. The UN may not recognise the northern part, which consists of many Turkish Cypriots who left their homes from Larnaca and Limassol, but they know how to benefit from the beaches here and live comfortably doing nothing! He is right! It is not fair and Turkish Cypriots have been isolated for more than 50 years. The more Turkish Cypriots are isolated, the more chance there is you will be dealing with Israel soon because they are buying the land as part of another mission. Believe me, Cypriots can see this happening and that is also another reason why international laws do not want us united. Whether you recognise us or not, Turkish Cypriots exist and have done since 1500s. An EU stamp means nothing. We exist!

@Hasanbas-rv3vm all Cypriots should live as equals. Nobody gets wiped out and no apartheid, no motherlands
Yeah right.. A peace operation that is ongoing for 50 years! At the time, Turkey was one of three guarantor powers for the constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. If any they only had the right to take action only to reestablish the constitution being threaten by a coup.. All the war crimes that took place since not only shout invasion but also their barbaric nature against a small island. Turkey took over cyprus for them selves, holding both Greek and Turkish Cypriots as hostages for Turkeys geopolitical interests..
1. The claim that Turkey acted legitimately as a guarantor power is bogus since upon their “intervention” they never restored constitutional order and returned the legitimate President to power. In fact they never even suggested such an eventuality.
2. The co-founding of the republic had a clear statement of proportionality contained therein. Mr Tatar chooses to ignore that element and substitutes proportionality with numeric equality.
3. Mr Tatar did not provide an answer as to what the “TRNC” would be prepared to give in exchange for recognition. Basically it appears that he “wants it all”.
4. Mr Tatar’s population calculations are astonishing and bizarre, ignoring the reality of large numbers of Turkish citizens who have been brought over to inhabit the empty properties of the evicted Greek Cypriots.
5. Yes we did have Enosis in 1974. It was Enosis (Union) of part of Cyprus with Turkey. Mr Tatar’s puppet state, with Turkish currency, the presence of a huge Turkish army, massive Turkish subsidies is all but in name part of Turkey.
Turkish Cypriots from my understanding are a minority in Northern Cyprus mainly due to settlers from Turkey since 1974

You forgot to mention about the land stolen from the Turkish Cypriots by eoka , or doesn't that suit your agenda?🤦
In 2004, a referendum was held for a two-state federative country under UN control, to which the Greeks said no and the Turks said yes. In other words, it was the Greek Cypriots who did not want a solution, not the Turks. What needs to be done now is for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to be recognized by other states. Northern Cyprus has shown great development, especially in the last 10 years, despite the embargoes. If such an embargo had been applied to the southern part of Cyprus, there would have been no difference from Afghanistan.
In 1974 Turkey invaded the Republic of Cyprus and killed a lot of civillians too. The state that he proclaims is territories of the Republic and the fact that Turkey still has 40k troop is a violation of international law and human rights, due to the inability of the rightful owners to go back to their houses. And he is talking about human rights? Extremely provocative.
Mr Tartar Its not Nothern cyprus its the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus scince 1974
The land belongs to the Greeks. On one hand, they accuse Israel of “occupation”, yet they stole land in Cyprus and Turkey from the Greeks! Hypocrites.

Greece ruled cyprus from 1100bc until 1200 ac=2200 years. During the crusaders and Venetian era they kept their national identity and orthodox faith. Turks occupied Cyprus but very few of them settled to the island . The majority of "Turkish" cypriots are actually violently turkified greeks="kilic musulman"...

@@odysseasntalias5950 Go and read a proper history book. Also Cyprus was not sold, it was leased to pay the Ottoman debt for financing them in Crimea.

The problem Mr Tatar conveniently forgets is that there is no such thing as a Greek Cypriot or a Turkisk Cypriot. They are all Cypriots and the language they choose to speak is unimportant. Cypriots want Independance from both Greece and Turkey. That will require the removal of the Turkish Army and the 200,000 plus forced Turkish migrants and their dependants.
He has not conveniently forgotten anything. The terms Greek and Turkish Cypriot were created for the 1960 constitution. previously the British referred to the communities as Christian and Muslim. The term Cypriot is cultural and has nothing to do with nationality. Cypriot has been hijacked by the Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus .
If the GCs had yes to Anan Plan they would have had most of Morphu and Varosha, no border and the Turkish troops would have been in the numbers given in the 1960 constitution of 650 only. Greece would have had 750.
Your last comment is racist and smacks of the same kind of rhetoric of the BNP.

Stay happy in your small deluded world.
technically it is in the EU, because Cyprus legally owns the entire island. and cyprus is an eu member. the Turkish regime has set up a de facto state in Cypriot land. this doesn't stop cyprus from being the de jure owner. Cyprus does not however have control over the occupied parts.
@@olbiomoiros how can it own the whole land. You have villages that have always been 100% Turkish Cypriot and you also have Turkish titled land. Don’t forget the island had changed hands numerous times. Byzantine, Roman, Ottoman.
Greece as well as other countries has already officially recognized Northern Cyprus officially. By announcing that it will open a naval base in Southern Cyprus, it has accepted the fact that Southern and Northern Cyprus are separate countries. Since Turkey is a guarantor state in the order and treaty which Greece insists on, it is necessary to obtain permission from Turkey before such a declaration of building anything of strategic importance. Stating that they would not obtain it, they recognized and accepted the existence of Northern Cyprus and that the two are separate countries. Greece also conveyed its statements as it would be built in Southern Cyprus, that is, Greece stated that Southern Cyprus is a different country. Simple is that.

Let's be honest reading the comment section is an exercise in prejudice and ignorance. Clearly many have no clue on the history and dynamics on the island. Once you read the facts and stop spouting others biased opinions you realize the claim of 'invasion' is an utter sham, it was a clear 'intervention' to stop the ongoing slaughter of Turkish Cypriots on the island, the military intervention was a legal right given to Greece, turkey and the United Kingdom as guarantor powers. In fact Turkey even requested the United Kingdom to join them in the military intervention...as much as people want to claim it was an invasion, legally it far from it according to the conventions agreed upon.
but the intervention was to restor order, which was done. Why stay and make demands which were always on the agend from 1955. As for ongoing slaughter, not a single Turkish Cypriot was killed from 1967 and those that were killed were after the invasion in 1974, which itsef was a crime and there was no excuse.
@@sonnyjoannou9413 You tell me why entire Turkish Cypriot villages and a whole school of innocent children were killed 3 weeks after the intervention.

Can you explain why as soon as the Republic was born Turkey was sending over ships loaded with weapons, the Deniz being one of them. No one was punnished. Can you explain why as soon as the Republic was born a number of so called teachers came over from Turky, who all happened to have just left the military. Can you explain why Denktash had a couple of Mosques blown up or why two Turkish Cypriot Journalists were killed after they threatened to expose who gave the order. Can you explain the killing of Kavasoglou, (the killers are known) after he gave a speach as the the tactics used by Denktash and his ilk to foster division? All killings, no mattr who perpetuated them are a crime against humanity but the killings are not one sided.

The presenter is wrong when he says the "Turkish invasion of Cyprus is regarded as illegal by the United Nations" (6:04). Firstly, it wasn't an "invasion" but a legitimate military intervention under rights granted by an international treaty following the Greek invasion of Cyprus that aimed to annex the island to Greece. Secondly, the United Nations has never explicitly declared Turkey's 1974 military intervention in Cyprus, which brought peace to the island, as "illegal".
It's funny how this type of news is hijacked by uneducated and brainwashed Greeks and Greek Cypriots who have no inkling of the history of Cyprus and spout propaganda.

Embargoes against Turkish Cypriots are inhumane. We need confidence building measures which are meaningful. Fact remains Turkish Cypriots voted to reunify the island in 2004 and there were promises made by many in the international community none of which have ever materialised..
This is not up for discussion. Fact.
Unless the Turkish Cypriots vote for Turkish settlers to go home, for the Turkish forces to go home, for all Cypriots to be able to return to their legally owned properties on the North and South, under the banner and sovereignty of the European Union member, The Republic of Cyprus. Then Greeks will always vote no. Turkish Cypriots need to decide for themselves whether they are better off as a stranded, embargoed, illegal and unrecognised pseudo Republic, or to come back home as a genuine member of the free, and internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus.

This was the facts of the last event 1974 why is this glossed over? But Turks did to Armenians always talked about etc (not right) yet the people who didn’t hurt anyone continue to suffer they are not in control and don’t want to join turkey, and turkey haven’t taken the north but do finically assist positioning themselves more there. TC been there over 500 years Greeks way longer , you can’t illegally occupy if you be been there for centuries, focussing on Turks from mainland moving there , the world moves around so pointless argument look how diverse uk is . so the families had families who had families I believe unification better as TC do have Cyprus passports etc can’t have it both ways, but GC must give more EU money as it’s for whole island but they don’t, don’t split unify our brothers n sisters together 🙏🏽❤️🇬🇷🇹🇷🇨🇾🧿
Friend, there is no brotherhood with invaders. The discussion is not about TC but about Turkey's interests. All Turkish forces can redraw from the foreign land, and peace-unification talks can be re-shaped. Is this a possibility? No. So end of story. Invaders have no rights.
@@IOANNOU28 the longer this goes GC have turned down so many times and no incentive to unify now, on the so more mainland Turks came , the families have had families what a mess 🧿 one day 🤞🏽 I don’t want to see two states I want to see unification living together before Turkey in Greece and Britain interfered
@@Tanertherapy Unification will never happen. Unification is about mutual benefits.
Do you see any for the GC?
The only clear fact is this: No benefits or any sort of recognition should ever be given to intruders. This sends an obvious message to the world.
@@IOANNOU28 Weil never know unless we try we MUST MOVE FORWARD there benefits for both and would mean great things for the whole island
CYPRUS is GREEK END OFF
