I sincerely hope that Turkey Does NOT Win this as there actions against Northern Cyprus in Accepting the Greek Cypriot South as the Republic of Cyprus, and rejecting the TRNC based, Turkish Cypriot participation, in the Recent "MED Games" in Mersin had seriously disappointed my people. We have always respected Turkey and backed it at every stage regardless, but it's recent rejection of our status in the MED Games, it's lack of support or for not Rejecting the Greek Cypriot ROC's participants has proven to my people that Turkey truly has an issue with its Official relation with the TRNC, and actually Recognises the Greek Cypriot (ROC - Republic of Cyprus) as its legitamate Government. The Turkish Cypriots in Both the TRNC and in the UK were shocked. To this end, I would rather see Turkey not win this that to see the Greek Cypriots once again laugh in the face of the Turkish Cypriots, as they have been doing over the last month. If the tables were turned and the Greek Cypriot held the MED GAMES, would they have rejected their Greek Cypriot KIN regardless of the Political Scenario or Pressure from any Olympic or FIFA Officials or would they have stood by their Greek Cypriot Brothers and sisters. I am afraid that Turkey has broken our hearts in Northern Cyprus. We are isolated already without now having been rejected by our Turkish brother in Turkiye. I love Turkey, I worship all that Turkey has done in the past, and still does now, but just do not understand why Turkey just does not Annex Northern Cyprus seeing that it can not get our TRNC recognised politically by the UN or Allow us to take part in the MED Games; for instance. I hope our cries have been heard. Thank you. Mustafa Ahmetoglu, Lecturer at the East Med University in Gazi-Magosa, Kibris.
Your cries will be heard Mustafa and Turkey will probably not win it.
