The Turkish Occupation of Cyprus

There is a territory that is occupied and it is not the West Bank or Gaza. It is Northern Cyprus occupied by Muslim Turks. Since 1974 the Turks have ethnically cleansed the northern part of Cyprus of Christian Greeks. There is very little discussion about this since Christian blood is worth less than Muslim blood in the eyes of the progressive media.

The invasion and occupation has had disastrous consequences. About 142,000 Greek Cypriots living in the north – nearly one quarter of the population of Cyprus – were forcibly expelled from the occupied northern part of the island where they constituted 80% of the population. These people are still deprived of the right to return to their homes and properties. A further 20,000 Greek Cypriots enslaved in the occupied area were gradually forced through intimidation and denial of their basic human rights to abandon their homes. Today there are fewer than 600 enslaved persons (Greek Cypriots and Maronites).

Read the rest.

Why does no one ever complain about this occupation?


note from savage: I added this video to give everyone a visual as to what has gone on there in the last 4 decades.
