He begs them, saying “if indeed you think in such terms, then come to the table, let us sit down and make a deal”. Ahmed Davutoglu said this. The son of Davut, Mr. Ahmed. Where does he come from? From Turkey. He is not a Cypriot. Then, who has given him the right to speak about Cyprus? Cyprus is our homeland, Mr. Ahmed. Ours. The Cypriots. Not yours. You cannot decide about what we will do and not do here. We decide. You mind your own business. Because of you, and the likes of you, Turkey is on the verge of a partition. Go to save her, from now on, if you can. Just think, one telephone call from Obama was sufficient. You made a huge 180 degree turn. As you were heading for the Cape of St. Andreas, you turned at Yialousa and went to Tera. And now you come for a song and dance? Because you were unable to bring Assad to his knees, you are pouring your spleen on Cyprus? Your power was not sufficient to force Assad, and you will force [President of Cyprus] Anastasiades? Please keep this between us, but Anastasiades brought this on himself. For all these slaps that he received from you. He flattered you too much. So he deserves such a response from you.
Look Mr. Ahmed, the last Ottoman Grand Vezier. Pay attention! Do something! Because I believe that not even your own ears listen to what comes out of your mouth! You say that “the sea bed and the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus belong to both her communities”. So, if they belong to the two communities, what is this to you? What has happened to you? What business do you have in these seas? Who gave you the right to speak on our behalf? Mr. Dervis [Eroglu, the president of the puppet regime in occupied Cyprus, an entity recognized by no other country except Turkey, whose unilateral declaration has been condemned by the UNSC 31 years ago]. But Mr. Dervis is your salaried employee here. You pay him! After all, is it not you that has been boasting for so many years that you are footing the bill for our upkeep?
Then, what is all this circus? Since when do you demand and get authorization from one of your salaried employees? Is not the administration here under your authority? Everyone knows that you have been the occupying power for forty years now, in this part of the island, and you are under the impression that we are the only ones who do not know? Do not be fooled by those of us who express their gratitude to you. There is no one who wishes two states in Cyprus, and anything else along this line. The Cypriot people wish a united Cyprus. From Rizokarpaso to Paphos. If this does not happen now, it will happen for sure at some day in the future. There is no possibility that the Cypriots will never come to their senses!
This chauvinism, this craziness will end on some day, for sure.
You say that the exclusive economic zone belongs to both communities, but you do not seem to comprehend it yourself. The Greek Cypriots never said that it belongs only to them. Yet, even if there is no solution to the Cyprus problem, thanks to you, and you have postponed the return of Varoshia [the city of Famagusta outside the medieval walls, whose return to its rightful inhabitants Turkey was asked to allow, but has not, since the pertinent UNSC resolution of 1977], do not think that they will let us smell any of the benefits of the solution to the problem, before the actual solution takes place. Hands off Cyprus!
And you can take your two states, and you know where you can stick them! (Πάρε τα δύο σου κράτη και βάλε τα εκεί που ξέρεις!)
Sener Levent is the editor of the Turkish-Cypriot newspaper Afrika. He has been repeatedly threatened and heavily fined by the Turkish puppet regime of occupied Cyprus. His long-time colleague Kutlu Adali was murdered in 1996 in occupied Cyprus. His murder remains a mystery, though it was well known then that he had been threatened several times by the occupation authorities and their roughnecks. Turkey has been condemned by the European Court of Human Rights for the handling of the murder investigation of Adali, and damages were awarded to his widow. Recently, Levent has claimed, in the same column of Politis, that Adali had actually uncovered evidence that special forces from Turkey had come to Cyprus in 1995, right before the inquiry into the missing Cypriots who were American citizens by the late Richard Holbrook, and excavated mass graves near the St. Barnabas Monastery, and then dumped all the bones of the dead into the sea, so that they could never be found!
