<\/div>

The very heavy \u2018bill\u2019 of Turkey’s sudden abandonment of the \u2018federal solution\u2019, which it had adopted as a \u2018national policy\u2019 before the 1960s, is becoming increasingly evident…<\/p>\n

Mr. Tatar’s \u2018parrot-like\u2019 compliance with Erdo\u011fan’s \u2018separatist\u2019 policy has caused great harm on the part of Turkish Cypriots.<\/p>\n

In fact, it is possible to see this model of relationship, based on \u2018subsequent consent\u2019 in Turkish Cypriot politics, in every period.<\/p>\n

Before the 1960s, there were those who complied with the English…<\/p>\n

They served the Colonial Administration as \u2018obedient servants\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

From the 1930s onwards, those defending the \u2018Six Arrows\u2019 [Editor\u2019s note: The \u2018six arrows\u2019 represent the fundamental pillars of Kemalism, that are Republicanism, Folkism, Nationalism, Laicism,\u00a0Statism, and Reformism.<\/em>] the Kemalists, the fanatics of Turkey stood up against these \u2018British henchmen\u2019…<\/p>\n

But they too have always overdosed on \u2018servility\u2019…<\/p>\n

This bad legacy of the colonial period found reflection in the following periods and never allowed Turkish Cypriot politicians to form a more \u2018autonomous\u2019 political stance vis-\u00e0-vis the Turkish Republic.<\/p>\n

\u2018Letting Turkey off the hook\u2019 and \u2018being in solidarity with Turkey\u2019 became intertwined…<\/p>\n

Turkish Cypriots have never been able to adjust the \u2018dose\u2019 of this stance in politics.<\/p>\n

Often times, the leftist parties also failed to \u2018establish good relations with Turkey\u2019.<\/p>\n

For this reason, over time, neither the \u2018Qur\u2019an Courses\u2019 could be prevented, nor any \u2018limit\u2019 could be placed on the rise of minarets all over this \u2018secular\u2019 state, as inscribed in its Constitution.<\/p>\n

Now, there are mosques and minarets inside university campus\u2019 and at the foot of court buildings…<\/p>\n

We have also normalized the university that screams \u2018I am not actually a centre for science\u2019…<\/p>\n

And the rise of mosques and minarets in the courtyards that will keep the judiciary and the legislature in its shadow…<\/p>\n

In the past, there were politicians, particularly like B\u00fclent Ecevit, who recognised and respected the unique \u2018political culture\u2019 of Turkish Cypriots.<\/p>\n

However, there were also those who thought of this place as \u2018a three-ring circus\u2019 and tried to rule it as they please…<\/p>\n

The AKP, on the other hand, set out to \u2018transform\u2019 this piece of land\u2014just as it did in Turkey\u2014and went much further than previous Turkish governments. Of course, with the help of our above-mentioned \u2018character\u2019 traits, they achieved some remarkable success.<\/p>\n

Our political institution, which resembles a \u00a0\u2018paper castle\u2019, was levelled to the ground by a blow from Erdo\u011fan…<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there has not been a serious \u2018reaction\u2019 at a societal level against Ankara, who said \u201cThe discussion on federation has come to an end\u201d…<\/p>\n

The AKP, in the process of interfering in the elections, almost ran over us like a steamroller with its \u2018alaturca\u2019 harshness.<\/p>\n

He created an astonishing atmosphere of \u2018surrender\u2019 through a series of \u2018reputation assassinations\u2019.<\/p>\n

That’s what he wanted, and that’s what he achieved.<\/p>\n

Both in politics and amongst the general population…<\/p>\n

In 2017, a politician emerged from this society who was able to resist these \u2018policies of subsequent consent\u2019, and insisted that Turkish Cypriots should be able to decide for themselves: Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131…<\/p>\n

Since 1987, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 had been saying, \u201cJingoism based on the Motherland-babyland rherotic must come to an end, and TC-TRNC relations should be re-interpreted on the basis of mutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Crans Montana in 2017; he fulfilled the requirements for Turkish Cypriots to \u2018decide for themselves\u2019…<\/p>\n

As Anastasiades also acknowledged recently, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 took the initiative by respecting the \u2018sensitivities of the Greek Cypriot community\u2019, made proposals and contributed to the negotiation process.<\/p>\n

However, just as it did not happen at the time of the Annan Plan, it did not happen again in Crans Montana…<\/p>\n

At that stage, Turkey had signaled that it would show flexibility in its \u2018the right of unilateral intervention\u2019. This was also announced by the UN Secretary General.<\/p>\n

However, when the process of Crans Montana collapsed, Turkey embarked on a very adventurous path. It reneged on its age-old thesis of federation, and adopted the \u2018separatist policy\u2019, formulated as the \u2018two state\u2019 solution.<\/p>\n

And then here, they found a \u2018local political figure\u2019 who would tirelessly market this policy, day and night.<\/p>\n

For the past five years, they have been carrying on with this \u2018ceremonial\u2019 politics in unison, based on pure \u2018jingoism.<\/p>\n

AKP has fully diffused into our society.<\/p>\n

Politicians who had been serving as AKP’s \u2018footman\u2019 got used to this over time and bowed down.<\/p>\n

Tatar, who said \u2018no talks in the absence of recognition\u2019, never felt the pressure of global public opinion in this process.<\/p>\n

He freely marketed the \u2018separatist politics\u2019 as he wished. No one cared about this.<\/p>\n

Tatar did not even feel the slightest bit of the international pressure that Denkta\u015f received in the past.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary-General Guterres, on the other hand, was contented with \u2018managing the situation\u2019 for \u2018Erdo\u011fan’s sake\u2019.<\/p>\n

This situation, of course, played into the hands of Christodoulides…<\/p>\n

Thanks to Tatar, the man presented himself as a politician set out for \u2018peace\u2019 before the EU and the West.<\/p>\n

For the Greek Cypriot side, the Turkish side’s dream of \u2018two states\u2019 was like a perfect plate of \u2018kataifi served with clotted cream\u2019…<\/p>\n

And Christodoulidis skimmed the cream of this setting.<\/p>\n

He has achieved what no Greek Cypriot president has dared to do.<\/p>\n

He has buried \u2018strategic partnership\u2019 with Russia in the past, and turned its face to the West, to the USA.<\/p>\n

And he received more than enough in return.<\/p>\n

From now on, the \u2018Republic of Cyprus\u2019 has a \u2018security shield\u2019 for itself with the army trained by the USA and superior weapons that will come from there.<\/p>\n

Against whom?<\/p>\n

Against Turkey, of course…<\/p>\n

The Greek Cypriot side instantly took a position where Turkey has spoilt its relations, and expanded its \u2018front line\u2019 to protect itself.<\/p>\n

Currently, France can act as it wishes in these lands…<\/p>\n

Israel has taken the \u2018Republic of Cyprus\u2019 under its wings.<\/p>\n

So who has made these international strategic steps of the Greek Cypriot side possible?<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, Turkey’s change of course and its withdrawal from the idea of federation, the Turkish Cypriot side’s withdrawal, and Tatar’s \u2018Mr. No\u2019 behaviour are the main reasons for these developments.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the bill of the past five years has been very heavy.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, all this has cost us very dearly…<\/p>\n
