...it seems that Erdogan has opposition in Turkey. and it seems that this opposition has ideas that can propel a Turkish image which respects Universal Human Rights.When Kürkçü mentioned the "invasion of Cyprus", CHP Istanbul Deputy Mehmet Akif Hamzaçebi requested permission to speak. He said, "The intervention of the Turkish Republic in Northern Cyprus as the result of the Peace Movement in 1974and the deployment of Turkish troops was assessed as an invasion. [The military] went there with the aim to prevent deaths and killings caused by the Greeks".

"I am sorry that the minister feels sorry but it was good if he did not feel that sad just because of my words since these words can be heard at all international forums. Resolution No.550 of the United Nations Security Council reads, 'The Security Council is gravely concerned about the further secessionist acts in the occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus which are in violation of resolution 541(1983), namely the purported "exchange of Ambassadors" between Turkey and the legally invalid "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" and the contemplated holding of a "Constitutional referendum" and "elections", as well as by other actions or threats of action aimed at further consolidating the purported independent state and the division of Cyprus'"
"A certain part of the people in Cyprus thinks likewise. I invite everybody to remember now the debate on history that we should have had long before instead of proudly speaking here".
Kürkçü also referred to the "Apology for Dersim" by the prime minister and asked, "Who knows how proud the ministers were at the time in Dersim in the 1930s?"
"But now the Prime Minister apologizes on behalf of the ministers of the time. Maybe the Cyprus Operation will be evaluated differently in terms of Turkish history and world history in the future. Then, there will be the need to resort to the Resolution of the UN Security Council and to people who think like me. That is why these opinions are a real shame if they will not be said under the roof of this parliament. This is the place to discuss this issue".
...the Kurds and Cypriots are linked by this debate, can the opposition use this as a lever toward election gain?
...are the people of Turkey not so easily lead toward the hostilities that their present leadership excels in.
...is the opposition a saving Grace?
