Columnist calls on the nationalists to close the roads of occupied Morfou and prevent the Greek Cypriots from going to Agios Mamas Church
Writing in his column in Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Volkan newspaper (31.08.09), Hasan Ozerdem calls on the nationalist organizations in the occupied areas of Cyprus to gather the people in occupied Morfou next Tuesday (2 September) in order to prevent the Greek Cypriots who want to attend the service planned to be carried out at Agios Mamas Church.
Noting that the service should not be carried out at Agios Mamas Church because it is used as a museum by the breakaway regime, Mr Ozerdem alleges that the Greek Cypriots should go to Apostolos Andreas Monastery if they want to carry out a service in the occupied areas of the island. He argues, inter alia, the following:
“…The Greek Cypriots believe that they seized everything. Look, the tender for repairing the road in Yesilirmak area [Tr. Note: Occupied Limnitis area], which is within the borders of the TRNC, has been materialized by excluding the TRNC. It is said that they are not taking into consideration the objections of the government. If even this government allows this, the Turkish Cypriot people should fasten a rock on its feet and jump the sea. Stopping these is left to the people with national sensitivities. The national associations should gather the people on Tuesday and block the roads at the entrances of Morfou. Come. Let us show our national characteristics. Let us not allow the murderers of the Turks, the Greek terrorists to pass. If it is needed, let us show the reaction of the people against the government, but mostly against Talat and the representative who behaves as friend of the Greeks. Let us show that it is not possible to live together with the Greeks. Come and let us change the course of the history on Tuesday. Mr Talat should see and understand that the Turkish Cypriot people are not a flock of sheep and that he is not the shepherd of this flock.
