Thanks for sharing the translation.
It’s such a complex issue without considering or being able to understand what Cypruots on the other side of line are going through.
It’s great to see them pushing back.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m sick of having to convince Cypriots of our suffering thanks to all colonial powers.
Oh, so Turkey wants what they stole from Greek Cypriots with their own army for themselves? What a great surprise!

Everybody knows that and it couldn’t be in any other way. The pseudo-state exists only because Turkish troops illegally occupy part of Cyprus. Without Turkey there is no pseudo state.
