greatly encouraged by these reports, it is a contrast to the "average person" that Lordo likes to describe, as an opposition against, Greeks, "Greeks", and Turks (read: not, "Turk").

[06] Reactions in the occupied area of Cyprus to the bomb attack in Ankara

Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (12.10.15) reports that a protest was held yesterday in the occupied part of Nicosia for the more than 100 peace supporters who lost their lives in bomb explosions that occurred last Saturday during the Peace Rally in Ankara's Railway Station Square.
A group of around three thousand persons gathered at Kuyulu Park in the occupied part of the divided Cypriot capital and marched towards the Turkish so-called embassy shouting slogans such as "Fascist Erdogan" and "Murderer Erdogan". The "police" created two cordons in order to prevent the crowd from approaching the "embassy". The participants in the activity read out the names of the victims during the bomb attack in Ankara and a statement regarding the incident.

The statement was issued by the Peace Platform, which is established by political parties such as the Social Democracy Party (TDP), the United Cyprus Party (BKP), the New Cyprus Party (YKP) and the Cyprus Socialist Party (KSP) as well as by trade unions such as Dev-Is, KTOS, KTOEOS, Cag-Sen, BES, Tip-is, Basin-Sen etc.

The statement said that efforts were exerted to carry more than a 100 [wounded] persons to the hospital with the peace banners, but the police threw tear gas while these efforts were exerted, "in spite of the committed crime". The statement expresses the following views:

"Just like the co-chairman of the [Peoples' Democracy Party] HDP [Selahattin] Demirtas said, this slaughter was materialized not by dark forces, but by forces that are not secret. The state is the one responsible for this slaughter. This is a slaughter directed against the peoples of Turkey. While during the state's own rallies the day before yesterday even a bird was not permitted to fly, why this weakness of [providing] security exists within the pro-peace people? While great security measures are taken for those who want war, why those who want peace cannot be protected and their security cannot be provided?

Explosions like the ones in Diyarbakir and Suruc were seen in Ankara. This means the following: Wanting peace in this country is tantamount to wanting to die. It is tantamount to walking to death for the sake of peace [?] We give our word to the victims for peace: We will carry the flag for peace until peace is reached".

Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (12.10.15) refers to the issue and describes the security measures taken by the "police" as "very strict" noting that the park and the surrounding area was searched for bombs. The paper writes that among those who participated in the protest against "terrorism" were Dogus Derya, self-styled deputy with the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) and the former "mayor" of the occupied part of Nicosia, Kadri Fellahoglu.

Furthermore, Turkish Cypriot leader, Mustafa Akinci said yesterday that the attacks in Ankara have deeply saddened everyone, adding that "if Ankara cries, Nicosia cannot laugh, we share Turkey's pain, we strongly condemn those who carried out this terrorist act". Akinci made this statement during a festival at occupied Komi Kepir village.

According to Kibris, the attack was condemned by many Turkish Cypriot "officials", such as the self-styled prime minister and the "foreign minister" of the breakaway regime Omer Kalyoncu and Emine Colak respectively, the former Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu, political parties and organizations.

Finally, Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (11.10.15) reports that the breakaway regime declared a three-day mourning in the occupied area of Cyprus as of yesterday. A letter of condolences has been sent by Kalyoncu to Prime Minister Davutoglu and by Akinci to President Erdogan.

[07] Turkish Cypriot columnists assess the bomb attack in Ankara

Writing in Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (12.10.15), the paper's general director Basaran Duzgun reports that the most important conclusion after the bomb attack which took place in Ankara last Saturday is that "the Middle East has come to Ankara". Under the title "Will this trouble come to us?" Duzgun points out that we had been used to seeing such explosions in Iraq, Syria and Southeast Turkey and recalls that within a period of two months three bomb attacks happened in Turkey: first in Diyarbakir, then in Suruc and finally in Ankara. He notes that the perpetrators of the bomb attacks are not foreign religious fanatics who came from Iraq or Syria, but "Turkish citizens who are bad copies" of these foreign fanatics.
"[?] Those killed belong always to the same section [of the society]. They are secular, intellectual, revolutionary Kurds and Turks. Actually these are those whom the religious murderers in the Middle East are afraid the most, because they are the alternative of the empire of fear based on Koran which they want to establish. [?] Therefore they should be murdered, terrorized, intimidated, so that the way for the religious reactionizm is paved.

The terrible atrocity in Ankara showed us that a big weakness of security exists in Turkey. Moreover, a mentality exists that has been so humiliated that throws pepper spray to the people who were wounded in the attack and those who were trying to help them. This mentality is so impudent that ties on TOMA vehicles [Translator's note: A vehicle used by the police in facing demonstrations] the killed people and drags them. [?]"

Wondering whether the situation in Turkey will be transferred in the occupied area of Cyprus, Duzgun notes that the assassinated persons in Ankara had a way of life similar to the one of the Turkish Cypriots and "from this point of view the Turkish Cypriots may turn into a target".

Finally, writing in Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (11.10.15), the paper's director Sener Levent reports that he does not want this Turkey in Cyprus, because Turkey means "blood, torture, barbarity and death". "Are you not ashamed to ask from a barbarian to become your guarantor", he wonders and points out that "when I see what they do to their own people, I can imagine what they did to the Greek Cypriots in 1974".

"If there is a Greek Cypriot who will accept Turkey's guarantees again, it means that he has a loose screw", he argues and expresses the hope that the Greek Cypriot leadership is so wise as not to accept Turkey's guarantees. He further asks those who talk about "terrorism" whether they do not realize that "the [Turkish] state itself is the terrorist".
