21. Newspaper: POLITIS Article Title: Είναι η ώρα των Τ/κ Article Title in English: It is the time of the T/C Author: Antonis Paschalidis Date: 4/7/2003

Article Summary: The Cyprus problem has no hope of a solution unless cooperation and common struggle between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots is achieved in advance. However, this cooperation is not at the desired level mainly due to the Cypriot political forces which remain attached to the basic political lines drawn by Ankara and the National Security Council. It is essential that the political leadership of the Turkish Cypriots break free from the guidance of the Turkish generals and articulate its own political discourse. The Greek Cypriot political leadership and the legitimate governments of the Cypriot Republic from 1974 until today have taken brave steps which have not received the corresponding response from the Turkish Cypriot side. The Turkish Cypriot political forces as well as our Turkish Cypriot compatriots must realize that they are called to live as equal citizens in a state. It is not possible for them to claim extra privileges by avoiding the obligations that every Cypriot citizen has. It is the time of choices for the Turkish Cypriots. Either they will choose the state of which they are citizens, or they will remain subservient to Turkey by choosing international isolation. As they massively demonstrated their desire to join the E.U., they must also today force Turkey to withdraw its troops and let the Cypriot people, as a whole, freely decide on their future. Turkish Cypriots must realize that they are obliged to make sacrifices. It is not possible for them to expect to be supported by the Republic of Cyprus and the EU. at the same moment they accept their manipulation and the economic support of Turkey. KEA calls on Turkish Cypriots to shake off the chains of dependence on Ankara, without this meaning that they have to give up their national identity and their particularities. They must enter the E.U. as Turkish Cypriots and not as a Trojan Horse of Turkey that is being used in a blackmail way to promote the interests of some Turkish generals and the Turkish establishment.

Article Summary: The Turkish/Cypriot parties have been thrown into the election battle for good. In statements to the Greek Radio Station in London, Mehmet Ali Talat claimed that what Ankara wants is a solution to the Cyprus problem to facilitate Turkey's accession process. If that can be done with Rauf Denktash, he will support him. At the same time, he expressed certainty that the tripartite coalition would win, without excluding the possibility of securing a majority for his own party. On the other side, the DP leader claimed that the parties supporting the Anan plan are hiding from their voters that 45000 TCs will be displaced. The vice-president of the "Solution and EU" party stated that those who believe that by reaching a solution the settlers will be sent to Turkey are lying, on the contrary they will become EU citizens. The general coordinator of the nationalist "National People's Movement" has signalled that he will resist the Annan Plan. READ ARTICLE

35. Newspaper: POLITIS Article Title: Πρώτα η λύση και μετά η Τουρκία Article Title in English: First the solution and then Turkey Author: Myria Antoniadou Date: 23/11/2003

Article Summary: The decision not to make Turkish one of the official languages of the European Union is primarily a political decision, according to statements made by European Union officials to the newspaper. “Since no solution was reached in Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriots do not join the union together with the Greek Cypriots, then there is no point in including the Turkish language. The day the Cypriot issue is resolved, the Turkish language will also be included.” Language is used as a lever of pressure for the solution of the Cyprus problem, but this may be unfair to the Turkish Cypriots on an individual level because, for example, they will have difficulty in the competitions for a place in the EU since there is an examination in the official language of the country. At every opportunity, Turkish Cypriots urgently raise the issue of the official language with which the Cypriot republic joins the European Union, that is, Greek. They complain that this puts them at a disadvantage, and they have raised the issue at various levels, like a question to the President of the Republic by a young Turkish Cypriot intern at the committee, during his speech in October in Brussels, and last week in the European Parliament by the leaders of the Turkish Cypriot opposition.

Article Summary: Yesterday, parliamentary elections were held in the occupied territories, where the Turkish Cypriot opposition won, as the parties supporting change, i.e. the CTP and the Peace and Democracy Movement scored a significant victory, securing over 50% of the votes. The CTP seems to finish first, the UBP second, the Peace and Democracy Movement third and the DP fourth. Despite the fact that the victory is marginal, it is equally important since the parties of change had to overcome the objective of electoral fraud, Ankara's intervention and the large number of supporters.

Article Summary: The Cypriot government has prepared to take initiatives on the issue of the Turkish Cypriot missing persons. The Turkish Cypriot side declared 500 names of missing people. The 220 cases concern persons whose fate is unknown from the periods 1965-64 and 1967. Two hundred and eighty cases concern the period of the invasion. After the opening of the roadblocks, some Turkish Cypriot relatives of missing persons began to come to the state services and donate blood for identification purposes. Over time the interest grew and as a result there are currently several hundred blood samples from relatives of Turkish Cypriots missing. The publication of the names of the missing Turkish Cypriots in the Turkish Cypriot newspapers worked positively in this direction, as well as the behind-the-scenes work done by the relevant state agencies. The government also proceeded to create a Genetic Material Bank. READ ARTICLE

46. Newspaper: POLITIS Article Title: Τι πρέπει να προσέξουν οι Τ/Κ Article Title in English: What the T/C should pay attention to Date: 20/2/2004

Aricle Summary: For the solution of the Cyprus problem to be viable should be governed by European law and the European principles, and this should be respected by the Turkish Cypriots, who a few months ago Turkish Cypriots took to the streets with the request for a solution of the Cyprus problem and inclusion in the European Union. Otherwise either the accession will not take place or if it does Cyprus will be a puppet state. This will also be unfair to the Greek Cypriot side which despite the blow of the invasion in 1974 managed to become a member of the E.U. It is precisely this effort of the Greek Cypriots that allows the Turkish Cypriots to join the EU. The Turkish Cypriots must realize that the European acquis does not come to take away from the rights of the Turkish Cypriots, but to add to them. The Turkish Cypriots, who have long rejected the two-state solution and the separation and permanent control of Cyprus by Turkish troops, if they wish to change their way of life for the past 30 years, they must prove it in practice.

Article Summary: Greek Cypriots and their leaders so lightly on April 24, 2004 decided to divide Cyprus and make one part Turkish and the other Greek. The author considers what the Greek Cypriot political leaders say that they will help the Turkish brothers to be nonsense. He expresses the opinion that when the embargo is lifted and the airports of the Turkish Cypriots are opened and they earn money the “poor” Turkish Cypriots will need neither the protection nor the compassion of the Greek Cypriots, they will be able to develop on their own and continue as another entity completely separate from the Greek Cypriots, parallel but completely different on its course in history. The Greek Cypriots must finally understand that when you drive the other out and belittle him, he does not want you and hates you and this is the history of the relations between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots in the last 50 years.

Markidis, stating that since 1964 the fundamental articles of the Constitution are in disuse and have essentially been abolished, asked himself "Where are the Turkish Cypriot vice-president and the Turkish Cypriot MPs?" The accession of Cyprus to the E.U. forces the amendment of the Constitution and since the Turkish Cypriots chose to leave the Republic and say they have their own state, the Greek Cypriots must move on. It is contradictory to say that they have their own state and at the same time to say that they are partners in the Republic of Cyprus and their own consent is needed for changes.

Although the financial regulation was presented as a success of the government, basic questions arise such as to what extent the Cypriot government controls these financings and to what extent do the authorities in the pseudo-state acquire status as authorities of a recognized state. On the other hand, the Turkish side invests the most in ensuring direct trade, that is connected to the development of the tourism industry. The leadership under Mehmet Ali Talat is working on alternative forms of economic development involving the construction industry. At the same time, the Turkish Cypriots working in the free zones give a strong economic injection to the occupied territories, as they now amount to 10,000 workers and make up 20 percent of the Turkish Cypriot workforce.

90. Newspaper: POLITIS Article Title: Επιμένει στο απ' ευθείας Article Title in English: He insists on direct Author: Vaggelis Vasiliou Date: 5/2/2005

Article Summary: The columnist cites his views on the Turkish Cypriots. Turkish Cypriots can currently obtain a Republic of Cyprus passport and travel freely around the world as genuine European citizens. They have access to all state services. They continue to live in the house secured for them by the Turkish invasion and can sell part of this property to foreigners. They can explore the possibilities of securing and the house was owned by their family and is now occupied by Greek Cypriots. They can cross daily to the other side for work and return to the occupied territories, having earned the salary of a Greek Cypriot, thus ensuring a comfortable living due to the lower standard of living n the occupied territories. With the new agreements made by the government with the EU, Turkish Cypriots can bring 135 euros worth of products every day without the checks that the police did until recently at roadblocks. They can also bring the products they produce to the properties they took and either sell them on the local market or export them with preferential status. As far as the official state they only get benefits from, while all their obligations concern the pseudo-state. In essence, for the Turkish Cypriots, it does not matter whether they consider themselves citizens of the state or the pseudo-state, and whether their leader is a Greek Cypriot or a Turkish Cypriot, because what really concerns them and their daily life is so well regulated that everything is like a lottery. Even the "isolation" in which they are supposed to be, does not concern them, because due to the size of the island it does not make a difference if they travel or import and export from the southern part or the northern part. The present general situation is a convenient and privileged one for the Turkish Cypriots, who are in a privileged position. READ ARTICLE

In contrast, the Occupied Foreign Minister, Serdar Denktash, in his statements after the meeting of the Organization of Islamic Conference, which he attended for the first time as Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that the Taiwan model could be adopted and applied in a free Cyprus by the international community if no solution to the Cyprus problem is found.

According to the author, it is likely that Ankara will accept the proposal of the Finnish presidency, even if Tallat appears to reject it in order to appear to be conciliatory. Furthermore, for the proposal to be meaningful, it would have to include a clear timetable for the return to Famagusta of its legal residents. The port of Famagusta should be put under the aegis of the EU, but managed jointly. The reopening of the port should be initiated by a decision of the Cypriot government and the implementation of the protocol by Turkey on the opening of its ports and airports to Cypriot ships and aircraft should be complete.

Article Summary: The Turkish Cypriot deplorables, mainly those of England, were the red rag for Denktas. For the most part they were CTP supporters who were forced to emigrate because they could not stand the injustices, persecution and even blackmail against them because of their political beliefs. With the rise of Talat to power in the T/C, many of them believed that the time had come for their repatriation. One of their biggest problems, however, was that of military service. The law passed on May 8 (on compulsory military service) does not satisfy the expatriates, who threaten that if the necessary amendments are not made, they will never return back to the island. They have even said that they do not want to see any TC politicians in England and have not ruled out the possibility of taking the matter all the way to the European Court of Human Rights. Their reactions are bitter and come not only from ordinary T/C in the community but also from prominent people. READ ARTICLE

347. Newspaper: PHILELEFTHEROS Article Title: Διεκδικούν αναγνώριση μέσω πληθυσμού Article Title in English: Claim recognition through population Author: Spiros Athanasiadis Date: 15/8/2010

Article Summary: Complete ignorance prevails in the free regions about the sporting events in the occupied territories. This is due to the fact that Turkish Cypriot athletes have no track and field stars or successes in meets to show for it because of the wrong policy of the occupied government in sports, demanding the recognition of the T/C federations by the international community, knowing that the demand is unreasonable and illegal. Although efforts are being made to develop and improve sport and a large number of T/C federations are active in the occupied territories, however, there is no result as each country is represented in European and international bodies by one federation. The president of Galatasaray recently visited the occupied territories and met with Eroğlu and Oğgiurgyun, with whom he discussed investment of the team in the occupied territories in sports facilities from which both the team itself could be served in its preparations and Turkish and foreign teams could be hosted. Many Turkish Cypriot federations have signed protocols of cooperation with their Turkish counterparts, but without significant gain, as Turkish teams avoid meetings with T/C teams fearing punishment from international and European organizations. In this context, according to statements by the President of the T/C Football Federation, Omer Adal, the T/C side cannot wait indefinitely for the willingness of the Greek side to find a solution in order to open the way for T/C sport and is focusing its attention on various protest events in order to raise awareness among the international players and inform them of the injustice against the athletes.
