given the massacre of the muslim population of karabag by armenians in article apr kpc com henrik quayle kpc com writes let me clearify mr turkish armenia is not getting itchy she is simply letting the world know that she will no longer sit there quiet and let turks get away with their famous tricks armenians do remember of the turkish invasion of the greek island of cypress while the world simply watched and the turkish karabag is next as for cyprus in turkiye stepped into cyprus to preserve the lives of the turkish population there this is nothing but a simple historical fact unfortunately the intervention was too late at least for some of the victims mass graves containing numerous bodies of women and children already showed what fate had been planned for a peaceful minority the problems in cyprus have their origin in decades of oppression of the turkish population by the greek cypriot officials and their violation of the co founder status of the turks set out in the constitution the coup d etat engineered by greece in to execute a final solution to the turkish problem was the savage blow that invoked turkiye s intervention turkiye intervened reluctantly and only as a last resort after exhausting all other avenues consulting with britain and greece as the other two signatories to the treaty to protect the integrity of cyprus there simply was not any expansionist motivation in the turkish action at all this is in dramatic contrast to the greek motivation which was openly expansionist stated as enosis union with greece since the creation of independent cyprus in the turkish population although smaller legally had status as the co founder of the republic with the greek population the greek cypriots with the support of enosis minded greeks in the mainland have consistently ignored that status and portrayed the island as a greek island with a minority population of turks the turks of cyprus are not a minority in a greek republic and they found the only way they could show that was to assert their autonomy in a separate republic turkiye is not satisfied with the status quo she would rather not be involved with the island but given the dismal record of brutal greek oppression of the turkish population in cyprus she simply cannot leave the fate of the island s turks in the hands of the greeks until the turkish side is satisfied with whatever accord the two communities finally reach to guarantee that history will not repeat itself to rob turkish cypriots of their rights liberties and their very lives source cyprus the tale of an
