Unfortunately, the trauma of missing persons in Cyprus has been used as a weapon by the Greek Cypriot administration to attack Türkiye and their legal intervention of 1974. It is important we reveal the true facts ⬇️

#CyprusMissingPersons #CyprusHistory #Cyprus
The majority of Greek Cypriots that are missing and presumed dead are a direct result of the Greek invasion of Cyprus that occurred on the 15th July 1974. The bulk of the missing persons figure is due to event thats took place before Türkiye even intervened…

#Cyprus #Türkiye
US Ambassador Nelson Ledsky @USAmbCy @USEmbassyCyprus stated in 1991 that most of the Greek Cypriots that were killed, died as a result of Greek Cypriot in-fighting between supporters of Makarios and Sampson.

#Cyprus #CyprusHistory #CyprusTruths
Greek Cypriot newspaper, TA NEA, reported that the Greek Cypriot administration removed the dates of Greek Cypriots killed between the 15th-20th July in order to blame their deaths on Türkiye…

#Türkiye #CyprusPeaceOperation #KıbrısBarısHarekatı
In 1996 @cyprusmail reported that the Greek Cypriot administration have admitted that there are people already buried who have been reported as “missing” in order to further blame Türkiye for all casualties during the conflict.

#CyprusWar #Cyprus #Türkiye #CyprusPeaceOperation
George Lanitis from the Cyprus Weekly also revealed how not only journalists were fooled, but even the families victims were fooled. Their their loved ones had been killed by Greek Cypriot in-fighting rather than the Turkish intervention.

#CyprusPeaceOperation #Türkiye
The latest bodies to be found by the CMP were Greek Cypriots killed by EOKA-B forces. There was no involvement from any Turkish forces.

#CyprusTruths #Cyprus #CyprusMissingPersons
The Cyprus Missing Persons Committee currently state that 775 Greek Cypriots and 200 Turkish Cypriots are still missing. We thank the CMP for all their work. We hope the families of those who are still missing can soon find peace 🙏

More from @Young_Turk_Cyp

Sep 20, 2023
On the 17th September 2023, Kıbrıs Genç TV released their interview with Greek Cypriot leader, Nikos Christodoulides.

The interview exposed Christodoulides, his dishonesty and his insincerity on the Cyprus issue.

Read below for our breakdown 👇

#Cyprus #TRNC Image
Christodoulides was pivotal in collapsing the talks in 2017 and should not be trusted.

He has been exposed by both Drousiotis and Mavroyiannis for his actions in Crans Montana.

Resuming talks from “where they left off” is a non-starter.

Time to accept #2statesinCyprus

His obsession with EU involvement was almost cringey to watch.

The EU’s role in Cyprus as an impartial mediator is completely compromised.

South Cyprus is a member whilst the TRNC is not. Enough said.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS:

For over 3 weeks, Greek Cypriot troops entered the villages and raped the women, girls and young boys.

14th August 1974 - Türkiye initiated the Phase 2 of the Cyprus Peace Operation.

The Greek Cypriot troops wanted to ensure that there were no eyewitnesses remaining after the atrocities they committed.

All Turkish Cypriot women, children and elderly were rounded up and massacred by the Greek Cypriot soldiers.

126 Turkish Cypriots were slaughtered in total: 89 from Muratağa & Sandallar and 37 from Atlılar.

The youngest victim was a 16 day old baby & the oldest was a 95 year old man.

Their bodies were thrown into mass graves with evidence of torture and mutilation.

1st September 1974 - their bodies were discovered with the UN and international press present.
On the 1st September 1974, a Turkish Cypriot shepherd saw a hand sticking out from the ground.

It was due to this that the mass grave of Turkish Cypriot women, children and elderly were discovered.

The UN and international press were present at the scene.

THE GREEK INVASION OF CYPRUS - 15TH JULY 1974 (Photo Archive)

In just the first 5 days of Greece’s invasion, over 450 Greek Cypriots had been killed with over 10,000 being arrested as “prisoners of the Greek state.”

👇 #GreekInvasionOfCyprus1974 Image
ELDYK forces (Greek army stationed in Cyprus), elements of the National Guard and EOKA-B all carried out the invasion with direct orders and support from Greece.

Here are there tanks rolling through Nicosia/Lefkoşa 👇

THE GREEK INVASION OF CYPRUS!

Despite the Greek Cypriots successfully taking over government in 1963 with their illegal and bloody coup, some were still discontent.

Greece & EOKA-B wanted Cyprus to be annexed and on the 15th July 1974 they carried that plan out…

#Cyprus Image
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 👇

From Cyprus gaining its independence to the #BloodyChristmas1963 massacres.

Turkish Cypriots endured 11 years of ethnic cleansing on the island before Türkiye brought peace to the island.

#Cyprus Image
GREEK CYPRIOT CIVIL WAR 👇

For nearly 4 years the Greek Cypriots killed each other.

Hundreds died as EOKA-B terrorists clashed with Makarios and his governmental forces.

EOKA-B had the full support of Greece with plans to fully annex the island.

59 years since the Bloody Christmas massacres & Greek Cypriot coup of the Republic of Cyprus took place.

On this day, Turkish Cypriots began to be slaughtered and forced from their homes, villages and livelihoods.

Cyprus was divided in 1963, not 1974.

#BloodyChristmas1963
Less than 3 years after its establishment, the Greek Cypriot leadership had already become tired of sharing power with the Turkish Cypriots.

They’re hunger for Enosis had not subsided, and the genocidal Akritas Plan was created to ensure total dominance over the island.

#Cyprus
The Bloody Christmas massacres were carried out during this time on purpose.

The Greek Cypriot leadership hoped that because it was Christmas, foreign reporters would not be present to record the mass killings of Turkish Cypriots.

In August 2022 @RishiSunak left a bitter taste in the mouths of Turkish Cypriots as his anti-Turkish letter to the so-called “Conservative Friends of Cyprus” was released to the public.

Now he is the UK’s Prime Minister…

#RishiSunak #PrimeMinister #TurkishCypriotsExist #Cyprus
In his letter, Sunak revealed his very misinformed and narrow minded view on the Cyprus issue. It was filled with historical falsehoods regarding the events of 1974 and a lack of awareness surrounding current issues such as Varosha and the drilling within the EEZ’s.

#RishiSunak
@BTCAOfficial The British Turkish Cypriot Association responded to @RishiSunak letter immediately after. However, the new Prime Minister never replied. Unfortunately this suggests his anti-Turkish views on the Cyprus issue are true…
