More videos are emerging from yesterday. In the Greek Cypriot South, members of the far-right ELAM party - protesting the anniversary of the 20 July Peace Operation - set fire to the flags of Türkiye and the TRNC. As the flags burned, they chanted: “Burn it well, set it alight - write Enosis on the wall with the ash,” a call for the union of Cyprus with Greece. In their hands, they carried Greek flags. The footage was shared with the caption: “We’re burning the rags.” At the Metehan crossing, young men dressed in black, members of the Greek Cypriot paramilitary-linked ELAM, were filmed chanting: ⚫️ “Cyprus is Greek.” ⚫️ “Turks out.” ⚫️ “Greek soil will be your grave.” This is who stands at the border on the anniversary of the operation that brought peace to this island. This is the ideology Turkish Cypriots were protected from in 1974 - and it has not gone away.

Ahead of the 52nd anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation, a fascist Greek Cypriot crowd gathered at the Metehan crossing, shouting at Turkish Cypriots driving home. Not one “Cyprus” flag in sight - only Greek flags and Grivas flags, whose EOKA campaign killed thousands of Turkish and Greek Cypriots.

“The people of Northern Cyprus deserve to have their state, their institutions and their legal order recognised as a state.” - Maximilian Krah, German MP Speaking to BRT, Krah - Cyprus and Türkiye rapporteur on its European Affairs Committee, and a former MEP - explained why he and Achim Köhler will visit Northern Cyprus despite being blocked twice by the Bundestag’s Human Rights Committee. 📌 They sought to examine the human rights situation on the ground. Permission was refused. Some German parties, he argued, do not want the reality seen first-hand. “They blocked us, but we will still come.” 📌 The status quo is unsustainable, and no more time can be lost waiting on the Greek Cypriots. 📌 Why Cyprus is back on the agenda: Türkiye’s rising power, the strategic importance of the Eastern Mediterranean, and human rights. 📌 The rights of both Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots - property above all - must be addressed, and everyone’s human rights respected. 📌 To German politicians: “Raise your voice and demand that the Cyprus problem be solved. We believe Cyprus deserves a solution.”

Hasan Piker, you’re wrong about Northern Cyprus — here’s the truth. It’s deeply disappointing to see someone of Turkish descent, like Hasan Piker, refer to Northern Cyprus as an “illegally occupatoon" without acknowledging the real history and the struggles of Turkish Cypriots. Let’s set the record straight: The Republic of Cyprus, founded as a partnership between Turkish and Greek Cypriots in 1960, was shattered in 1963 when our people were subjected to massacres. Turkish Cypriots faced annihilation during the continued ethnic violence that followed. By 1974, when Greece launched a coup to annex the island on the 15th July, we were on the brink of genocide. It was Türkiye’s intervention that saved us from total destruction. Since then, there have been 50 years of peace on the island, with Turkish and Greek Cypriots living in harmony as two separate states. As Turkish Cypriots, our identity is not rooted in illegal occupation, but in survival, resilience, and the desire for peace. It’s a shame that someone with such a large platform, and a shared heritage, fails to recognize this. hasanabi it’s time to learn our history and use your voice to tell the truth. #TRNC #KKTC

FRENCH FORCES TO BE STATIONED IN SOUTH CYPRUS Macron: “When Cyprus is attacked, it is Europe that is attacked.” Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides confirms a SOFA agreement to host French forces. France already has access to the Evangelos Florakis Naval Base at Mari

Warplanes over the beaches of South Cyprus. Greek F-16 fighter jets stationed in the South have been filmed flying low over the coast to land at an airbase, with tourists reportedly left unsettled by the noise and the sight. This is the reality of the Christodoulides administration’s choices. Under his leadership, South Cyprus has been turned into a military hub for foreign powers - Greek jets, French bases, Israeli weapons, and foreign troops on an island that markets itself as a peaceful holiday destination. It is no surprise that the South is now suffering its sharpest tourism downturn in years, with revenues and arrivals down by around a third - and some reports putting the fall as high as 40%. You cannot fill an island with warplanes and foreign soldiers and expect the tourists to keep coming.

18-year-old Greek Cypriot soldiers say “we are ready” at the border in Cyprus. Ready for what? Türkiye has maintained peace for 50+ years. In 2025 alone, Greek Cypriots carried out 2.39 million border crossings into Northern Cyprus. There is nothing to be “ready” for…
