The Bulgarian press discusses the possible annexation of the territories of Cyprus by Turkey

The Bulgarian press is discussing the possible annexation of the territories of Cyprus by Turkey. The reason for such assumptions was the recent statement by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar about their intention to open the suburb of the Cypriot city of Famagusta Varosha for "development" and settlement.

It is worth noting that the UN and the EU have already condemned such a decision and called on the Turkish leader to adhere to the norms of international law. Nevertheless, Erdogan called the Cyprus issue the main national problem of Turkey and stressed that he did not intend to wait another 50 years.

Recall that in the summer of 1974, the Greek military junta staged a coup in Cyprus, trying to annex the island. Under the pretext of protecting its community, Turkey sent troops to Cyprus.

As a result of the confrontation, Turkey captured 37% of the island, which led to the split of the latter into two separate parts. During the year, the Turkish Cypriots moved to this territory, evicting the Greek population from there. Today this territory is recognized only by Ankara and is called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

The once prosperous resort of Varosha is located right on the contact line. It was also occupied by Turkey, but to this day it has not been inhabited by Turkish Cypriots and has the status of a military zone.

Now Erdogan and the government of the TRNC, apparently decided to put an end to the long-standing issue and open Varosha for settlement.

At the same time, the Prime Minister of the unrecognized republic, Ersan Saner, assured that the Turkish Cypriot authorities intend to act in accordance with the decisions of the ECHR in relation to the property of the Greeks located on the territory of Varosha.

According to Bulgarian analysts, the recent visit of Turkish President Recep Erdogan to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the statements made there are a tactical move by Ankara aimed at putting pressure on the Greeks and their partners. However, there are those who have gone even further in their conclusions and interpreted these actions as the first step towards the future annexation of Northern Cyprus by Turkey, the government of which seems to be increasingly losing its independence. The Bulgarian press believes that if the annexation of the territory of Cyprus takes place, then Turkey may extend this practice to other territories, including northern Syria.

As long as the Turks are joining the European Union, northern Cyprus will be in its current state. And if it is annexed to Turkey, then it is necessary to prepare for major events in that region, and Turkey's neighbors should be on their guard.

[URAL72]

Yes, they are not scampering anywhere, for 15 years already. This is just a political game in which the Turks play the role of discriminated blacks and have a small gesheft from this. It is more important for them to remain in the Islamic world, and joining the EU will greatly damage this. In addition, they will not agree to gay liberalism, which is now causing problems for Hungarians and Poles.

Erdogan wants to shove too many of his paws everywhere, will he overstrain? maybe in vain they didn't overthrow him and shoot down his helicopter in due time

[Babermetis]

Goodbye Cyprus! As in ancient times, the island will become a gathering place for human scum. This time, the veterans of ISIS and the grouping of fighters who carry out lawlessness in the conflict zones in the Middle East.

In ancient times, Cyprus was the site of advanced civilizations.
And countless artifacts have been found to support this.

There was also such a pirate "state" "Kilikia". During the Roman Empire. It is very difficult to assume that the state entity drawn on the map did not have a strong point as an island in Cyprus (and not only on it). From where all the sea traffic led show-offs all over the sea.

The Bulgarian press is discussing the possible annexation of the territories of Cyprus by Turkey ... According to the Bulgarian analysts ... The Bulgarian press considers ...

What kind of "static"? There is not a single link to the sources in the Bulgarian press, and the photographs were used from the Turkish Ministry of Defense. With the same confidence, one could write instead of "Bulgarian" - any other. The quality of materials at VO has dropped dramatically recently.

And what is the general number of people living in Bulgaria? And how interesting is this information for the Russian-speaking of the Globe !?

And what is the general number of people living in Bulgaria?

It's not hard to look at the wiki. But it doesn't matter, people are like people.

And how interesting is this information for the Russian-speaking of the Globe !?

Question to the one who published on the VO of this anonymous reprint. The article looks like a local VO essay, a bored "writer".

It's not all that simple. This is the area of ​​responsibility primarily of the Anglo-Saxons, and for some time now the Russians. 3% of the island belongs to Great Britain under its WB, where Americans can often be seen ...

[TermNachTer]

Considering how many ethnic Turks live in Bulgaria, it's time for the brothers to think - who will protect them from the Turks now? Not to offer NATU, we are looking for other options))))

[Tank hard]

The Bulgarian press believes that if the annexation of the territory of Cyprus takes place, then Turkey may spread this practice to other territories, including northern Syria.

And including Bulgaria over time. And the United States "does not abandon its", we remember Afghanistan.))

And including Bulgaria over time.

You are mean. Now "Bulgarians" will minus you. However, you are right there is no one to repeat the operation "Rhodope" ... and NATu Bulgaria needs like a saddle for a cow ...

[stankow]

You are being trolled, gentlemen, nothing like that in Bulgaria. the press is not discussed. Let the author quote what edition?

[Seamaster]

This does not mean the whole of Cyprus, but its northern part, which has already been occupied by the Turks for 45 years. Although there is talk between the two communities about the unification of the island, no one needs it. The southern, Greek part is quite rich, and the northern, Turkish part is like a Turkish village. Plus, hundreds of thousands of Turks have already moved there from the mainland. Would Moscow like to unite with the suburb of Dushanbe?

[AC130 Gunship]

I was in Cyprus at 97m. On the Cyprus side. The heat in summer is terrible. The sea is empty. In the mask, only the packages at the bottom are visible, nothing else. One road along the sea - that's the whole city. Prices are crazy for everything, including ice cream and beer on the street. And at every meter they try to drag you to a 3-hour presentation to sell you a timeshare.
In short - Cyprus was not impressed. From the word in general. From the pros - only elderly topless German women on the beaches. And -all

[Andrey Chizhevsky]

Middle-aged German women topless - it's hard to even call that a plus.

[Alex Justice]

the Greek military junta staged a coup in Cyprus, trying to annex the island. Under the pretext of protecting its community, Turkey sent troops to Cyprus.

Reminds Ukraine 2014. The difference is that Russia was afraid to send troops.

[Konnick]

Varosha is located on the Turkish side of Cyprus and used to be the best resort with the best beaches. Now there is a buffer zone and visiting it is prohibited, and between this zone and the Greek village of Deryneia there is a strip 300 meters wide where UN peacekeepers are patrolling. The Greeks did not make Derinia a buffer zone, so the Turks did not capture anything. And the title of the article distorts the meaning - Varosha still belongs to the unrecognized republic of Northern Cyprus.
And the gorgeous beaches go to waste.
