The Greek Cypriot terrorist organization EOKA began systematically attacking the Turkish Cypriots in 1958. Over time, these attacks turned into genocide with torture and brutal murders against the Turks. As a matter of fact, the barbaric and brutal massacre committed by EOKA in front of the whole world on December 23 in 1963 has been engraved in the memories as the "Bloody Christmas".
 
The terrorists and their cowardly supporters continued their attacks for a long time to destroy our kinsmen, regardless of children, women or elderly. The heroic TAF (Turkish Armed Forces) took action in July 1974 to put an end to this persecution and to establish peace on the island that turned into a fire scene.
 
Within the framework of guarantor rights, the security of both Turks and Greeks was ensured through the Cyprus Peace Operation, which took place 48 years ago.
 
Those who call the Cyprus Peace Operation an occupation and those who ignore the historical facts are the ones who try to prevent the world from seeing the massacres between 1958-1974. There has not been a single loss of life on the island since the Peace Operation and peace, tranquility and serenity have been brought to the island by TAF.
 
It should now be seen that the only solution in Cyprus is a two-state structure. We will always continue to stand by our Turkish Cypriot brothers in their just cause!
