A game similar to Ukraine is being played in Cyprus, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar has claimed, claiming that 300 million euros worth of offensive weapons have been given to the Republic of Cyprus. In an interview with the Turkish newspaper Turkiye, Ersin Tatar said that "what happened in Ukraine showed the whole world how right we were."[/B]
In an interview with the Turkish newspaper Turkiye, Ersin Tatar said that "what happened in Ukraine showed the whole world how right we were. In the past, the Greek Cypriots were armed for defensive reasons. Now, the general idea has changed and 300 million euros of offensive weapons have been given to southern Cyprus recently. The Greek Cypriots are trying to shed blood and drag Cyprus back to the chaos before 1974."
The Turkish Cypriot leader argued that "the forces arming the south, on the other hand, open the issue of Turkey's guarantees for discussion in the north." He also argued that the primary goal is to create a Cyprus without Turkey and then turn the entire region into an EU island with a Greek Cypriot identity. "The powers that want to swallow Cyprus want Cyprus' airspace, but also the Mediterranean Sea, which is of great importance because of its energy and strategic nature," he argued.
According to Ersin Tatar, "we did not reach this point in one day in Ukraine. Right now, while the cities in Ukraine are being destroyed, the people of Ukraine are fleeing the country and their lives, there is neither the EU nor the US. All the events are happening before the eyes of the world and no one can tell us that they will not be repeated in Cyprus. Because a similar scenario is being applied here too, and every way is being tried in the name of instability. If they succeed in destroying Turkey's guarantees, there will be new and much more chaos in Cyprus."
The Greek Cypriot side and the Western allies see Cyprus as a Greek island, he said. "The Greek Cypriots have never been sovereign here, in any period of history. But our ancestors ruled here for 350 years. They have no authority. We became masters of this land. On the mountain of Cyprus (Pentadahtylos), there is a Turkish trace on its stone. They cannot erase it. We will not allow this. Together with the motherland, we have the power to loosen all plans," Ersin Tatar also claimed.
