@@mikem8211 You say so but in reality it is not as you say that is why Turkish Cypriots live in the north not because they support Turkiye. Did you know that Turkish Cypriot citizens of the republic of Cyprus cannot open bank accounts or can not vote in the republic of Cyprus? Do you think this is something that fits to the definition of a European union country who gives equal rights to their citizens plus the children of Turkish Cypriots who happened to be born on the north de jure soil of the republic of Cyprus are not entitled to the citizenship if they have one parent Turkish Cypriot citizen and the other parent is Turkiye Turkish, can you show me a country in the world who doesn't give ids to the direct descendant of their citizens.

[@mikem8211]

@nonamenoname2767 You've taken the land illegally what don't you understand? You want the Greek Cypriots to recognise TRNC lose all our land & get no retribution when the island of Cyprus has been Greek for over 3000 years while the Turks have been there 300 and were only 15% of the population? You need to understand in Cyprus we don't care about Greece we care about our families and quality of life Cyprus is more prosperous then Turkey & Greece why would we join either when we can be rich ourselves? You want recognition and two state soloution we want the island as one as agreed in 1960 independence settlement. Now we're never ever going to change that view it's up to you what you do join us legally and tell Turkey to leave or it stays as it is forever. Even in a thousand years the world will never recognise TRNC it was an illegal land grab and no amount of time can change that. The flag of the Republic of Cyprus was made by a Turkish Cypriot brother and we wave it proudly Turkey and Greece (who do not get involved) have absolutely no business in Cyprus it's a sovereign country yes both side's done wrong but we live in the present if we unite everything will be find but you don't want that you want to be part of Turkey bit I thought the whole point was you didn't want us to join Greece yet we're fully independent and Erdoğan decides what happens in Cyprus and he's decided he wants our oil and gas and you lot are gonna let him take it yeah great neighbours.

And I dont even want to continue with the same examples, just give me the easiest answer for my question. why world war 2 happened? you said youre a historian, it happened because of germany's aggression towards his neighboring innocent countries right? now why greece's military coup that they made in the cyprus is not the same as the germany did in austria? or the way the greeks and Cypriots hunted turks as the same as the germans hunted jews? The fucking story of the history will always be written in the way the big countries wants. just imagine the similarities of the situtions I just told you. theyre same and turkey was 100% right to intervene. And even after the attack, Turkey was the only country that was willing to do a peace, a white peace where there willl be a one goverment for both of the ethnicities and not a devided country. Turkey was the side who was always fighting in the peace conferances they made to reunite the countries.. I suggest you to go and study your history a little bit more..

In 1974, the extremist military junta of Greece staged a violent, illegal Coup on Cyprus. The Greeks burned down the Cypriot presidential palace and established a pro-Greek puppet regime to rule Cyprus. Makarios, the democratically elected president of Cyprus, gave a speech stating that Cyprus had been invaded by Greece. In response to this illegal, extremist, pro-Greek invasion, the Turkish government partitioned the island.

[@Mozgor]

Turkey intervened in 1974 to stop the systematic genocide of the Turkish Cypriots which had been going on since 50’s. Britain wouldn’t get involved cos they have military bases in Cyprus and that’s more important to them than the safety of the Turkish Cypriots, so Turkey had no choice but to intervene. The 1960 agreement handing Cyprus over to Cypriot rule, only lasted 3 years before the Turkish Cypriots were thrown out of the government and marginalised. Then the coup d’etat in 1974 was what actually caused the intervention, so if EOKA hadn’t tried to annexe Cyprus to Greece the island would still be united today.

[@nickchristoforou7850]

If it was merely an 'intervention', it wouldn't have lasted 49 years. Also, there was no 'systematic genocide', and many of the 5,000 Greek Cypriots killed (1% of the population) were civilians. @@Mozgor

It's not disputed, it is illegally occupied territory, as per UN Resolution 541. It would be like visiting the "disputed country" of Luhansk, or Crimea, except it's worse, because northern Cyprus was ethnically cleansed of its MAJORITY Greek Cypriot population, their property seized and occupied for nearly 50 years.

[@ozzygiritli]

Funny how greeks always omit the actual ethnic cleansing attempt on turkish cypriots before 1974. Turkey didnt intervene for shits and giggles. If their intention was to take the island in its entirety, they easily had the power to

[@issavisisland9870]

Nothing is disputed. There is the Republic of Cyprus member of EU and UN. According to multiple UN resolutions since 1974: 1. North part of the Island is illegally occupied by the Turkish army 2. Greek refugees go back to their homes in the North part 3. Constitutional order to be restored as soon as Turkish troops get out of Cyprus Fullstop. Period

Northern Cyprus is under turkish military occupation since their barbaric invasion in 1974.

The Greek's shouldn't have massacred the Turks in 1974.

[@croatsweareserbiancatholic7521]

@@suhailshafi Completely the opposite. According to UN reports and resolutions, Turkish army is responsible for massive bombardings, executions and rapes even since 1964. I'm a historian ikr

​@suhailshafi 1974? There were plans for "taksim" since the 40's. Search Dentash shocking confession

[@oguzb.7033]

Greeks were bombing Turkish villages, Turks were under blockade, clearly a genocide was to occur, than Turkiye as a guarantor state, had to intervene according to international law to protect Turkish Cypriots.

[@Erol_808]

and why did Turkey legally intervene in 74', it was as a result 0f 14 years of ethnic cleansing with the final intent to genocide when greece tried to annex an independent country.

Interesting video Gabe. 👌

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, interesting travel location and there is a reason you went there it isn't that you really to go to Cyprus, although it's an interesting place but it puts you in the center of where you want to go next. So, you're not doing these long-distance flights, you're hopping to countries close by making the travel experience a bit easier for yourself. Then decide where you really want to go and spend some time in that country.
