“To protect the indivisible integrity of the homeland and the people…”<\/b>
\nThis sentence was simply stuck in my mind, repeating itself all day long, it echoed and kept growing.
\n“Of the homeland and the people…”\u00a0<\/span><\/b>
\nThe word hit the [old city<\/i>] walls of the capital and rebounded; it floated in the waters of the Mediterranean, glanced at the mountains, paused at the checkpoints, and then drowned in concrete.
\nIt knocked on the doors of the houses one after the other…
\nRemember when the keys used to remain on the doors, on the lock, and the neighbours would just turn the key and enter, coffee would be drunk in the courtyards, mattresses would be laid on the roofs, and people would sleep in the coolness of the night. Opened, closed: “The indivisible integrity…”
\n<\/b>The nights also got split like the courtyards…<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Whatever has come upon us, it came from this division.
\nOur homeland has been divided.<\/p>\n

We are being excluded from the world because the territorial integrity of the country of Cyprus has been violated.
\nWe cannot access the world directly…
\nWe cannot become part of the international community, neither in politics, nor in sports, nor culture…
\nBecause the safeguarding of territorial integrity was not believed in and observed…<\/p>\n

The guarantors who said [Cyprus was<\/i>] <\/i>“<\/i>indivisible”<\/b> divided the island…
\nWhereas they guaranteed to safeguard the constitution, independence, and territorial integrity [of Cyprus<\/i>] …
\nThey had rights deriving from international agreements…
\nThat turned into injustices…<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Whatever has come upon us, it came from this division.
\nNot just from the division of our geography, but also the division of our steps, our minds, our hearts, our faces…
\nWe no longer know where to look, where to run, and whom to believe in and trust.
\nOur faces, our languages, our words split in two…<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

If we are much lonelier despite having grown larger in numbers, the division is the reason…
\nThe division of the homeland and the people…
\nFor years, one\u2019s existence competed with the other\u2019s absence…
\nOne’s mourning became the other\u2019s celebration.<\/p>\n

The division led to the birth of landowners…
\nIt multiplied the show-offs…
\nIt created looting profiteers…
\nHomes lost their children, orchards turned their backs on life, streets separated, became ugly, and fell silent.
\nWe became both natives of and strangers to the island, both with a home and homeless, both with a homeland and without one…
\nWe couldn\u2019t make it work, as we kept dividing…
\nIn the scorching heat of July, where identities leaned on the identity-less, an oath to safeguard the “indivisible integrity of the homeland and the people”<\/strong> fell upon my ears, drenched in sweat, exhausted…<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

What do you understand from the word “homeland”?
\nWhen we say country…
\nWhen we hear the word homeland…
\nWe understand Cyprus…
\nSami took an oath yesterday: “\u2026.to safeguard the indivisible integrity of the homeland and the people…”<\/b> [Translator’s note: Sami \u00d6zuslu, elected representative of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP)<\/em>] <\/span>
\nThere is no end to the peace efforts of the previous generation or our generation.
\nBecause this struggle will continue from generation to generation…
\nThis country, this people, this geography is too beautiful to be divided…<\/b><\/p>\n

Vicious cycle!\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

I bought a simit [Turkish sesame bagel<\/i>] in the morning.
\n\u201c15 liras\u201d<\/strong>, said the girl.
\nFor one simit?
\n\u201cThe minimum wage has gone up\u201d<\/strong> she said.
\nShe too is a worker, a labourer, a minimum wage earner…
\n\u201cNow everything will become even more expensive…”<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s as if she almost felt sad about the increase…
\nBecause she knows, as the money that goes into her pocket increases, the number of items entering her home will decrease.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

A vicious cycle!
\nLawyer Cemre G\u00fcnsel summarized it very well.
\n” As purchasing power decreases, salaries are increased.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>
\nAs salaries increase, costs rise. As costs rise, prices increase. As prices increase, purchasing power decreases. As purchasing power decreases, salaries are increased.”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

That’s why the poor remain poor!
\nIn fact, they become even poorer…<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

I was having lunch at a well-known restaurant and asked the waiter, “the minimum wage has increased. What do you think?”<\/b>
\nHe replied like a well-prepared student: 15 thousand 750 Turkish Lira<\/strong>. [Translator’s note: \u20ac536, based on the European Central Bank exchange rate on 14 July 2023<\/em>]
\n“It’s not enough…”<\/b>
\nHe receives a salary of close to \u20ba20,000 [\u20ac681<\/em>] because he starts work at half past seven in the morning and finishes at ten in the evening.
\nWeekends included\u2026<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

“The landlord came this morning, raised the rent from \u20ba5,500 to \u20ba8,500 <\/b>[\u20ac187-\u20ac289<\/em>]. We told him we couldn’t pay, he told us to vacate the house… And to top it all off, the house is falling apart, it will collapse.”<\/b><\/p>\n

If the rent increases at the same ratio of the minimum wage increase…
\nIf the kitchen expenses increase at the same rate…
\nIf everything increases…
\nThen isn’t it a false cycle that we are experiencing?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

There is no life for the uninsured, unprotected and overworked minimum wage earners as long as economic growth is not achieved and as long as they are not relieved of the burden of heavy taxes!
\nIt won’t happen, as long this system, and the status quo are not dismantled…<\/p>\n

As the Parliament boils!<\/b><\/h3>\n

I went to the Parliament, and although the agenda discussions were short, the backstage was buzzing.
\nOne deputy said, “The Prime Minister might resign.”\u00a0<\/span><\/b>
\nI asked him, “Do we have a Prime Minister?”<\/b>
\nWe laughed!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

“Things won\u2019t run with obedience, instructions, and orders. The people gave a clear reaction. Things can\u2019t continue with this lot<\/strong>“, said a deputy from the National Unity Party [UBP<\/i>]…
\nCross my heart, he was from the UBP.
\nWe laughed!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Parliament doesn\u2019t convene until October.
\nI can\u2019t say if the government will stay or go…
\nAnd there is the “National Unity Party”<\/b> congress afterwards…
\nWe’re doomed!
\nThere will be the usual fights, the commotion, the shenanigans, and then either someone from MIT [Turkish Intelligence Service<\/i>] or the [Turkish<\/i>] Embassy will turn up, and what they say will happen. They will all bow their heads and say, “This is the best”. <\/b>Whiskies will be hidden under the table again, palms will be opened, and prayers will be recited “May we thank God.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
