They made such a ruckus that I came to the point where I almost said, \u201cThis Peacekeeping Force has really gone bonkers\u201d!
\nI mean why aren\u2019t they letting the kids into the field?
\nAnd I didn\u2019t see an official statement either…<\/p>\n
-*-*-<\/p>\n
Then I took a look at the Facebook page of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus…
\nThe issue doesn\u2019t seem to be the way it was exaggerated…<\/p>\n
-*-*-<\/p>\n
Actually the matter is quite simple:
\nThe UN Peacekeeping Force in summary is saying;
\n\u201cAccess to the pitch is as it used to be in the past. There have been no changes made. As it was in the past, access can only be through the crossing points agreed upon by the two sides. We are ensuring violations are prevented and the status of the buffer zone is protected. We are working with both sides to facilitate civilian access to the buffer zone and we are committed to work with the two sides.\u201d<\/p>\n
-*-*-<\/p>\n
In short, the UN Peacekeeping Force is not allowing the creation of new access points to the Taksim Field.
\nSo sit down, discuss and reach an agreement!
\nNo! \u201cWe\u2019ll take care of it\u201d is what our hawks are saying!<\/p>\n
-*-*-<\/p>\n
The hawks actually have one goal: \u201cTo create tensions\u201d…
\nWell, then whose interests do these tensions serve?
\nQuite obviously not ours!
\nWell then, are those creating the tensions idiots?
\nNo, they\u2019re not; \u201cWhat can they do, they\u2019re Erdo\u011fan\u2019s bootlickers!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ah that EOKA B ahhhh!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The man is saying, \u201cCriticize the Greek Cypriots as well… you don\u2019t criticize them at all…\u201d -*-*-<\/p>\n Secondly: Let\u2019s say I\u2019m not criticizing them; would I be wrong for not doing so? -*-*-<\/p>\n Come out if I say Ge\u00e7itkale [Lefkoniko<\/em>], eat an apple if I say Lefkoniko! [Translator<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s note: based on a Turkish rhyme for children<\/em>] -*-*-<\/p>\n I think Mr Asil [Nadir<\/em>] didn\u2019t know either… -*-*-<\/p>\n Anyway! -*-*-<\/p>\n One last question; Anastasiades is stepping down soon… The Economist: Erdo<\/strong>\u011f<\/strong>an could foment fiercer territorial quarrels with Greece and Cyprus<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The prestigious weekly British journal The Economist, in its latest edition dated January 21, 2023, published an article on Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan\u2019s regime. -*-*-<\/p>\n The cover of The Economist was prepared by Eiko Ojala. Ojala\u2019s front page illustration shows the crescent on the Turkish flag merging into Erdo\u011fan\u2019s silhouette.<\/p>\n -*-*-<\/p>\n The Economist said \u201cTurkey is on the edge of becoming a full-blown dictatorship,\u201d calling on Western leaders to speak out against Erdo\u011fan\u2019s \u2018anti democratic\u2019 moves while saying it was not too late \u201cto pull Erdo\u011fan back from the brink.\u201d<\/p>\n -*-*-<\/p>\n According to The Economist, \u201cWestern leaders\u201d or the \u201cUS and the EU\u201d, \u201c…have too often held back from criticizing Erdo\u011fan for fear of alienating a pivotal if troublesome ally.\u201d<\/p>\n -*-*-<\/p>\n Again, according to The Economist, \u201c… No one wants a country as important as Turkey to go completely \u2018rogue\u2019. All are aware that a resentful, isolated Turkish president could do great mischief. He could foment <\/strong>fiercer territorial quarrels with Greece and with Cyprus…<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n -*-*-<\/p>\n This point is extremely important! -*-*-<\/p>\n Yes, perhaps Kasoulides might be right to a certain degree; It would be easier [to start a war<\/em>] with minds like Tatar and Tahsin [Ertu<\/em>\u011f<\/em>rulo<\/em>\u011f<\/em>lu<\/em>] at the helm, which is another disgrace!<\/p>\n -*-*-<\/p>\n And can you please take a look at where we’re at? [Photo insert: Cover of The Economist dated January 21-27, 2023, with the headline <\/em>\u201c<\/em>Turkey<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s looming dictatorship: A special report on Erdo<\/em>\u011f<\/em>an<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s empire.<\/em>\u201d<\/em>]<\/p>\n Source: WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF TENSION AT TAKSIM FIELD?<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFirstly: I criticize them quite a bit, it\u2019s clear that this person doesn\u2019t follow [me<\/em>], he is just trolling me…<\/p>\n
\nBecause, is it the Greek Cypriots who have been tricking us all these years?
\nIs it the Greek Cypriots who are telling our women, \u201cYou should be your men\u2019s slaves\u201d?
\nIs it the Greek Cypriots who are trying to use us for political, strategic and economic interests?
\nI know you\u2019re going to get angry when I ask this but, \u201cIs it the Greek Cypriots who are exploiting us?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDo you see?
\nA truly Martin Niem\u00f6ller situation…
\nPeople never knew that \u201cone day it will be the turn of those who remain silent in the face of today\u2019s injustices\u201d!<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s as if the words that began with, \u201cFirst they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist…\u201d were written for Mr Asil…<\/p>\n
\nMy dears, get off my case; please take a look at yourselves:
\nLet\u2019s say that Yorgos, the new Archbishop of the Greek Cypriot Orthodox Church said; \u201c…Turkish Cypriot women will give themselves to their men whenever they ask for it: The Bible commands it so…\u201d
\nWould \u201cyou\u201d or Erhan Ar\u0131kl\u0131; say: \u201cThis is freedom of thought\u201d?<\/p>\n
\nIf he were to say, just before he leaves, \u201cTurkish Cypriots are lazy, spoon-fed parasites;
\nWho would be better, Erdo\u011fan or HIM?
\nGet over it…
\nIt’s always the Greek Cypriots\u2019 fault!
\nThat\u2019s right!
\nIt is always that wretched EOKA B!
\nJust sit the hell down!
\nMay God wipe them off the face of this earth!<\/p>\n
\nThe headline on the cover reads: \u201cTurkey\u2019s looming dictatorship: A special report on Erdo\u011fan\u2019s empire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPay attention, Cypriot Foreign Minister Kasoulides spoke to Bug\u00fcn K\u0131br\u0131s [online newspaper<\/em>] and said something like, \u201cIf we were to have a Turkish Cypriot leader who supports peace, this could have an impact on Turkey.\u201d
\nThe problem is not with the Turkish Cypriot leadership…
\nThe problem is the essence of the issue…
\nAnd The Economist summarized the essence best…
\nHe could start a war in Cyprus if he wishes…<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nOn the one hand, the economy has hit rock bottom; on the other, a gloomy community, without electricity, without roads, without a penny, deceived with non-stop propaganda and lies such as, \u201csocial housing will be built, electricity will be brought [from Turkey<\/em>]\u201d!
\nAnd an \u201cErdo\u011fan\u201d who might start a war any moment \u201cfor his own pleasure\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n
