The above are
UN resolutions. Now show me somewhere, except Turkish propaganda, that says that Republic of Cyprus is illegal. Is this what they teach you and brainwash you? Turkey is the
only country that does not recognize Republic of Cyprus and the
only country that recognizes the "trnc". You never thought why is that?
Did you really think that you can take land that is inhabited by 200.000 Greek Cypriots with a Greek Cypriot history of 3500 years, and just 50.000 Turkish Cypriots, and declare that part as "Turkish". Whats so Turkish about it apart that the Turkish army
ILLEGALLY occupying it?
It is time to accept the
FACTS and stop pretending to be the innocent victims when everybody knows you are the ones who support illegality and aggression in Cyprus.
