Türkiye on Sunday slammed the upcoming tv sequence, Famagusta, set to air on a digital platform, saying it serves the propaganda of the Greek Cypriot administration by “distorting historical facts.”
In an announcement on X, the Foreign Ministry expressed robust disapproval of the sequence, which it mentioned “misrepresents” the occasions of 1963-74.
“This series constitutes a great disrespect to the sacred memories of the Turkish Cypriots who were massacred by bloodthirsty Greek Cypriot mobs between 1963-74,” the assertion mentioned.
“These kinds of futile attempts to present the facts differently than they are only strengthen our determination to fight for our national cause, the Cyprus issue,” it added.
The island of Cyprus has been mired in a decades-long dispute between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, regardless of a sequence of diplomatic efforts to attain a complete settlement.
Ethnic assaults beginning within the early Sixties compelled Turkish Cypriots to withdraw into enclaves for his or her security.
In 1974, a Greek Cypriot coup geared toward Greece’s annexation of the island led to Türkiye’s navy intervention as a guarantor energy to guard Turkish Cypriots from persecution and violence. As a end result, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) was based in 1983.
The Greek Cypriot administration was admitted to the EU in 2004, the identical 12 months Greek Cypriots thwarted a UN plan to finish the longstanding dispute.
