Every year, the so called TRNC commemorates its independence. That day is today. You see Turks commenting on social media with celebratory posts like: Its the 39th anniversary of the TRNC. Cyprus is Turkish, it will remain Turkish.
When there is a retort of how can anyone celebrate the removal of a people from their own country ... you are given a reply depicting photos of the brutal 1963 bathtub massacre in Nicosia. Some Turks use these images as justification for the brutal destruction of anything Greek in the north of Cyprus.
Obviously there is NO excuse for killing children, ever. I do not know what kind of sick individual can do such a thing. A Turkish journalist by the name of Uzay Bulut recently published an article about the massacre. You can read what she has to say here. The author, Ms. Uzay Bulut, is a journalist and political analyst formerly based in Ankara. I do not believe she is currently residing in Turkey and that is a good thing. One can only assume writing articles like this in Mr. Erdogan's Turkey can be life threatening. Selamun aleykum, Ms. Uzay Bulut, where ever you may be...
