Cyprus: Erdoğan’s immoral attack on Mitsotakis and Dendias – He expressed pride in the “peaceful” massacre – “Reunification of the island” is Athens’ response
Erdoğan, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the invasion, was in Megalonisos and proceeded to a recital of nationalism and imagination.
The “Sultan” spoke to the Turks of the Occupied Island and declared “proud” of the… Peace Operation that took place 50 years ago, baptizing the rapes and murders of his country’s troops as acts of freedom.

“We experience the rightful pride of reaching the 50th anniversary of the July 20 Peacekeeping Operation, which our heroic Armed Forces carried out shoulder to shoulder with the Turkish Cypriot people. The Turkish nation once again showed the whole world its unwavering commitment to independence and future with this operation, the Turkish Cypriot people continue their struggle for independence, which they have crowned with victory, with determination, with the support of the Motherland Republic of Turkey and looks to the future with hope and confidence. I wholeheartedly believe that the freedom gained as a result of hard struggles, at the cost of the lives of our martyrs, will continue forever. I thank our veterans, may they rest in peace,” Erdogan said.
Erdogan attacked the Republic of Cyprus, saying that “in the southern part of the island there is a damaged administration”, while launched spikes against Defense Minister Nikos Dendias and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “Recently, the Greek Minister of Defense made absurd statements. I met with Mr. Mitsotakis and I told him: “Don’t make fun of us”, he replied “I don’t think so”. Extremely irresponsible steps are being taken. You can’t wash yourself twice with the same water,” he claimed.
“Ignoring the realities on the island leads nowhere,” Erdogan said, pointing out that “we believe that a federal solution is not possible for Cyprus.”
“I hope we will see the days when the leaders of the island’s guarantor countries will visit both states together,” Erdogan added.
“Our support remains for the TRNC, which was founded on the blood of our martyrs, to become a strong, prosperous and reliable state,” he concluded.
Cyprus: Paid response from Athens to Erdogan’s provocative statements
The answer did not take long to come from Athens as, as stated by diplomatic sources, “Greece, in agreement with the Republic of Cyprus, remains firmly committed to the solution of the reunification of Cyprus, within the framework of the decisions of the United Nations Organization”.
Specifically, the diplomatic sources reported:
“The Greek positions on the Cyprus issue have been clearly formulated and fixed for decades. They are expressed jointly by the Greek Prime Minister and the Greek government. Greece, in solidarity with the Republic of Cyprus, remains firmly committed to the solution of the reunification of Cyprus, within the framework of the decisions of the United Nations Organization, and will continue to do so. There is no question of deviating from this position in accordance with international law, nor could it be. Besides, the Prime Minister will be appointed tonight from Nicosia”.
In Nicosia, the Prime Minister for the 50th anniversary of the invasion
With the sirens sounding at 5.30 in the morning, the commemorations for the 50th anniversary of the invasion of the Turkish troops in Cyprus began in Nicosia.
For the first time in Nicosia on the day of the “black anniversary” the Prime Minister will attend, who in the evening in his speech, in addition to condemning the invasion, is expected to repeat Athens’ desire for the resumption of talks as the only way out for the solution of the Cyprus problem.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis will arrive in Nicosia in the afternoon and his speech is eagerly awaited, while the presidents of SYRIZA and PASOK have been present at the memorial events since this morning.
According to information from MEGA, in his speech the Prime Minister will also include elements of historical retrospection, as today marks half a century since the Turkish invasion and occupation with Attila’s troops.
With his post on the “X” platform this morning, Mr. Mitsotakis emphasizes:
“Half a century since the national tragedy of Cyprus. We honor those who were lost. And we claim a European state, united, based on UN resolutions. No foreign occupation army. And as the poet wants it: “A green leaf thrown into the sea”.
Meanwhile, on the eve of the “black” anniversary of “Attila”, the Turks proceeded with unimaginable provocations.
To the “one night suddenly” of the Turks, the Greek Ministry of Defense replied “we are everywhere”, but also that it is ready to defend the Archipelago, making two meaningful retweets, of GES and GEETHA respectively.

Christodoulidis “sees” developments in the Cyprus issue
In his statements yesterday, the president of the Republic of Cyprus pointed out that soon there will be some developments towards the resumption of talks on the Cyprus issue.
“The day that dawns tomorrow is difficult, it is difficult for all of us and the issue of missing persons is the most tragic aspect of this ongoing occupation,” he told reporters attending the event of memory and honor for the Disappeared.
He added that “if we really want to honor the memory of all those people who sacrificed themselves so that we can exist today, for the Republic of Cyprus to exist, for institutions to exist, we must do everything possible, despite the difficulties – not I misrecognize, I know them first-hand – to start the dialogue again. And I think, based on the information I have, the data I have in front of me, that we will soon have some developments in this direction. Let’s hope that these developments will also lead to the actual resumption of talks.”
