They told the camel, ‘Your neck is crooked’, and he said ‘Which part of me is straight, anyway?’
Just like the established order we live in, which we call the TRNC.
For a state to survive, it must be built upon ‘justice’.
However, the TRNC is precisely the name of the geography of usurpation, thanks to its property regime, and isolation, thanks to its freedom regime.
This is a system in which Ersin Tatar was given the title of ‘President’.
Tatar, who participated in opening ceremonies with Turkish officials despite the warnings of the Supreme Committee of Elections during the presidential election period, who reaped the benefits of all acts of defamation and lynching against Mr. Akıncı, and who, out of nowhere and almost surprisingly, has become a consequence of the coup against the will of Turkish Cypriots under the guise of ‘community leadership’.
Tatar is someone who has no foreign policy background to come close to the candidate he was running against, but who eventually won in the second round of elections after he traveled from village to village with the intervention of bureaucrats.
The talks of ‘two-statehood’ and ‘blue homeland’, which were voiced after he came to office, have cost us the last four years.
During this time, Turkish Cypriots were thrown into outer space, lost faith in democracy, witnessed how easily their will was taken away from them through elections, and fell into a sharp sense of loneliness.
Tatar could not do anything he promised. He could not be expected to do it anyway.
Because Tatar, who came to office against the will of Turkish Cypriots and got elected through the intervention of foreign elements, did not have such an aim in the first place.
As a result of all that we have experienced, this is the photo frame we have encountered: Due to all the interventions we were exposed to, ‘political powers’ that are brought into line in military facilities; ultra-nationalists who bow to the boots of army officers, or liars who keep telling that we have established a state.
It seems like all the games set up to exclude Turkish Cypriots from politics and democracy in their own country have been successful.
Because today, it is the Greek Cypriot leadership who is drinking the cappuccino in the picture with Erdoğan.
Ersin Tatar and US, those who are no longer the subjects of their own country, are simply watching.
Congratulations to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which knows diplomacy and is somehow useless, and congratulations to Ankara politics!
Yes, this your success to own, masters…
We can keep running our daily errands in the deep peace of not being accepted even as an interlocutor in our own country.
So, how do you like your cappuccino?
