Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday dismissed any link between the occupation of one-third of northern Cyprus by Turkish forces and the situation in Gaza.

The Turkish premier made the comment when asked to comment on a report that an Israeli vessel would sail to Cyprus to protest the Turkish occupation of one-third of the island republic.

“The Turkish military is not an occupier on Cyprus, rather it is on the island for the needs that arise from Turkey’s capacity as a guarantor power,” he told reporters.

“If the ship goes to south Cyprus {the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus} then the issue does not affect us,” he said.

“The Turkish military … is there (Cyprus) to ensure the peace and due to the needs that arise from Turkey’s capacity as a guarantor power. Whatever other claim is unacceptable. After all, soldiers are present in south Cyprus as well,” he said.

Erdogan made the comments during a press conference in Istanbul with visiting Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, on the sidelines of a Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, or CICA.

Zionists will try anything point the finger back after being protested against. Inshallah in 12 years the end will be quick & swift for Israel.

No, but Turkey occupies 1/3 of SOVERIGN Cyprus and settles it. Turkey opresses its Kurdish minority. Turkey murdered 300,000 Assyrians, 400,000 Pontic Greeks and 1.5 million Armenians.

Truth

Did you know that most of the Turks of Northern Cyprus were brought in from the Turkish mainland? Why? Because the Turkish Cypriots were leaving the island and the Turks would have no one to “protect”. The Turks are a people who came from Mongolia that mixed with all the people and cultures that they ran into on the way to Asia Minor and now have taken over land that was not theirs. With all the lies they used to keep a hold onto this country it will be a never ending battle. They must lie all the time because it all started from a lie and their whole country is based on lies. Their tourist attractions are Greek and Roman. That’s it. Their Mosques are based off of the Greco Roman Christian Churches. Their food is mostly Persian with Greek, balkan and other influences. The crescent moon and star was the symbol of Constantinople because of the patron goddess of Artemis because they wanted to be the continuation of the Byzantine Empire so bad. The Greeks with “the books” left when they took over so when the Greeks left they brought knowledge to Europe and started the Renaissance. Once the Turks took over all the schools of philosophy and all that was ended and knowledge stopped. Once the Turks tell the truth about Cyprus and all this they will loose the land they’re on and not just Cyprus. It’s funny because they stole land with military power and now are saying that they are protecting their people from the military that was going to take over Cyprus. There would be more peace if the Turks just went home to Mongolia and left us alone.
