It was reminded in the statement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry that the Greek Cypriot authorities have neither made any statement condemning this act of hatred nor have investigated the perpetrators and this demonstrates that this act has official support.
 
In the statement it was also said ‘We believe that the Greek Cypriot Administration, as well as the Greek authorities, with their statements provoking hatred towards the Turkish Cypriots, have a responsibility regarding this incident. Under these circumstances, we expect the international community to invite the Greek Cypriot side and Greece, to avoid rhetoric further deteriorating the atmosphere of tension on the Island, as also mentioned in the latest report of the UN Secretary General.’
 

1 thought on “Reactions to burning of TRNC flag by ELAM

  1. When some people started that the Turkish Cypriots will be safe under the Protection Of EU, should listen and anticipate the Response of the EU, to this Vindictive act of showing The Sectarian and Resist Feeling that they are obsessed with, the obvious tolerance and Support of the Authorities in the South Who Continues ToDemand The Withdrawal Of The Turkish Army. Saying that they are not necessarily under the EU protection.
    I do not Remember the EU ever protecting any one anywhere.
