What is really happening in Cyprus? by Behcet Kaya

 

In Cyprus, in the village of Pile, Turkiye willingly gave up a section of land for the peaceful co-existence of the two ethnic groups living there.

(Pile in Turkish, Pyla in Greek), is located in the Larnaca District of Cyprus. It is one of only four villages within the United Nations Buffer Zone, the other three being Athienou, Troulloi and Deneia. Pile is located in the eastern part of the island, adjacent to the British Sovereign Base Area of Dhekelia.

In Pile there are three churches for the Cypriot Greeks and a mosque for the ethnic Cypriot Turks. The Turks have their own Muhtar, and the Cypriot Greeks have their own leader. These two ethnic groups have lived together peacefully for well over fifty years.

However, a problem has arisen.

Cypriot Greeks recently built their own road to go to the Greek side of Cyprus. The British are allowing them to travel without any issues.

The Cypriot Turks also want to freely go to the Turkish side of Cyprus, but the British are excerpting heavy control over their travel.

So, the Greeks are permitted to travel to their side without issue, while the Turks are not. The British don’t even allow a Turkish ambulance to pass without heavy control.

In response to these controls, the Turks decided to build a road to cross to Turkish side. However, with the Greeks’ influence over the UN, the UN Peace Keeping Force is now hampering those efforts.

This is absolutely a double standard by the United Nations. The Peace Keeping Force is supposed to be fair to both ethnic groups, not just one side.

The latest upheaval is that the UN and the Greeks have erected barbed wire and laid concrete on the road the Turks are building. In response the Turks brought in heavy earth moving equipment and pushed the concrete and barbed wire aside. Along with that they have pushed the UN Police and the Greeks aside, which has resulted in the chaotic brawls we are witnessing on TV.

The Greeks, as usual, are trying to make this an international issue by escalating the situation even further. They have gone to the UN five permanent members to try and have the Turks condemned for their actions. The measure was not passed due to Russia vetoing the condemnation.

The bottom-line issue is this:

Europe and America expect their puppets to bow down to them. To elicit the expected “Yes, Sir.”

But inside Turkiye those puppets are no longer around to bow down.

A bit of history:

In the 1980’s the Turkish president was Kenan Evren, a puppet of the U.S. He came to power through a CIA coup that overturned the democratically elected government. Why? Because the democratically elected government vetoed the Greeks joining the military arm of NATO. After the coup, he voted for Greece to join.

Fast forward to today. Those puppets no longer control the Turkish government. There is a new Turkiye without the domestic traitors.
