Ertugruloglu: Motherland Turkey is on Our Side

"We are very lucky because the motherland Turkey is on our side," said the "foreign minister" Tahsin Ertugruloglu from Istanbul. Speaking at a conference in Istanbul, he claimed that the old world order has collapsed and that the five permanent members of the UN Security Council “reward” the Greek Cypriots and “punish” the Turkish Cypriots. Mr. Ertugruloglu stated that the non-recognition of the pseudo-state is linked to misinformation and that Turkish Cypriots are treated by the international community as a kind of “international illegal formation”. He also pointed out the support provided by Turkey to address the difficulties faced by Turkish Cypriots. Mr. Ertugruloglu accused the international community of injustice and emphasized that Turkey will oppose it. He reiterated that Turkey is on the side of the Turkish Cypriots and will continue to support them. The statements by Mr. Ertugruloglu reflect the Turkish narrative on the Cyprus issue and the attempt to portray Turkish Cypriots as victims of injustice by the international community.
