Turkish Army is the Problem, Not the Solution!

The author argues that the withdrawal of the Turkish army from Cyprus is the top priority for securing the future of Cypriot Greeks. They highlight the growing sense of despair among Cypriots, who are seeking security and prospects in Greece. The author calls on the leadership of Cyprus to make the withdrawal of the Turkish army its main goal and to mobilize all forces in this direction, hoping for the support of Greece and the international community. They maintain that the presence of the Turkish army poses an immediate threat to the free areas and that its withdrawal is essential for achieving a sustainable solution. The author criticizes the political leadership of Cyprus and Greece for their lack of determination and prioritizing secondary issues, such as reducing military service or tax reform, instead of strengthening defense and security. The author condemns the doctrine of “deterrent weakness” and emphasizes the need for sacrifice and struggle for freedom. They express disappointment with the lack of capable leaders with vision and mission, and call for accepting even an unfair solution, as long as it is accompanied by the withdrawal of Turkish troops. Finally, they state that a united Cyprus, without the presence of the Turkish army, will have prospects for survival, even if the solution is imperfect. They argue that the withdrawal of Turkish troops will create the conditions for peaceful coexistence and give Turkish Cypriots the opportunity to live in a safe and free environment.
