I think the problem stems from ignorance.

I think the problem is we are too focused on Palestine that we dont bother looking into the wider problems of the Islamic World and the Turkic World.

I agree its so shameful not 1 Muslim country or a Turkic country visited the TRNC.

Lets not forget how Uzbekistan tried to distance itself from news about the Turkic council recognising TRNC.

Utter retarded affairs that boggles my mind.

I think Aliyev and his pawns like Twitter influencers from AZ and media tools like Haber Global using out blind nationalistic feelings. Yes we are brothers etc. but we are like the girl who loves more in a relationship.

It was already a military airport long ago, and recently they ban all civil aviation activities. Turkish Forces weirdly not had a airbase up until now, even no helicopters, as far as I know all helicopters operated by GKK. And regarding planes other than UAVs, it still does not word to station them there, economically not feasible.

Even decades ago, I always supported the idea that we should give TAF 1 fully equip base like the US overseas bases with airport, seaport and put all forces into that megabase. And instead of Turkiye sending funds to TRNC it can just pay a rent for the base to support economy. Currently TAF (on paper) has more than 35 troops (mostly conscripts) scattered around, even next to casinos, night clubs, city centers etc. In reality it is much less due to lack of personnel, but it is unnecessary to feed 40k troops around. A highly equipped 5k base like the one in Qatar could be more effective and economic. Unfortunately lack of vision and nationalistic views prevent such changes.

On contrary all GKK forces accumulated on the border.

You're right, a token force is probably sufficient to keep on the island. The Greek side wouldnt dare to do anything, but politically it would be seen as a retreat, so not going to happen.

Actually a political retreat further cements TRNC as a sovereign state, it is just 5 min flight from Turkiye in case of anything anyway. What is their biggest argument against us? so called "occupied" so that political retreat (but having an overseas base) would kill the argument. TRNC is a state, it is not occupied land. In many platforms they use two main arguments, the biggest one is properties of Greeks being confiscated (Now there is a court to compensate them) and the other one is the Turkish troops occupying the whole North, or claiming it an "occupied land" so IMO (as I always say) destroying these arguments that they are spreading to the world should be the first step if we want any state to recognize TRNC or support us on international arena, otherwise these guys use it for propaganda all the time. Public opinion and image is very important whereas "unfortunately" Turks are very bad at managing it.

TRNC and Cyprus Turkish Solidarity Platform will build a container city in the earthquake zone​

According to the news of the Turkish Agency Cyprus (TAK), within the scope of the protocol, the TRNC government will support the Turkish Cypriot Solidarity Platform, which was established to heal the wounds after the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes.

In this framework, donations collected by the Turkish Cypriot Solidarity Platform with the donations collected under the TRNC Prime Ministry will be combined, and a village will be established consisting of a thousand container houses for the citizens affected by the earthquake in Turkey.

She's a CTP MP and president of the women's branch of her party.

She gave an interview to the publicly funded German TV channel ARD in which she made some bogus claims.

Nordzypern: "Wie eine türkische Kolonie"

Immer mehr Menschen verlassen Nordzypern. Das liegt auch an der Islamisierung des eigentlich säkularen Landesteils und an der aggressiven Siedlungspolitik des türkischen Präsidenten Erdogan. Von O. Mayer-Rüth.

Derya Doğuş to German media:

- Turkey treats KKTC like a colony
- Turkey promotes 'Islamization' and 'Turkification' in Northern Cyprus
- Northern Cyprus is highly secular and culturally alien to Turkey
- Northern Cypriot Turks wouldn't visit the military parades of the Turkish military on the island; those who attended are all descendants of main land settlers

The fuck? I'm at a loss for words.

At this point she can claim that for clout. She's been thoroughly brainwashed by all this SJW/neo-commie bullshit propaganda.

All those German politicians of Turkish descent are all pigs. Lets not forget Cem Ozdemir

I cant believe it Turks of Germany still vote for them.

Turkish Cypriots are descended from both the Ottoman settlers and the people who lived there.

Nowadays these aholes like Dogus Derya repeat the same Greek lies about how Turkish Cypriots come from Turkish settlers after 1974.

Turkiye does have a big population of Turkish Cypriots. Only way to settle in Cyprus was to prove you are descended from Turkish Cypriots its been like this for decades.

From Turkey but most of them come from minority groups who have a deep hatred and envy of Turks. As Turks we tend to forget that we came into these lands a thousand years ago and took it over. We think we moved on from that era with Ataturk and the republic, but these people haven't.

Yet these certain minorities despite living under the same rights as ethnic Turks have a deep hatred/envy of Turks and a lackey mentality where they want to impress the white man. We see this all time with certain kurdish groups, who do nothing but shit on Turkiye and Turks while doing their best to appeal to the white man. I've come across this countless times in the UK. Not so long ago when a white guy murdered some kurds, the kurds were destroying towns across europe while hating on Turkiye.

In reality European colonisation despite being absolutely brutal was a minor point in history for these groups, under the Turks in some cases these people were ruled for over a thousand years. A big reason many Hindu groups hate Turks today is for the exact same reason of Turkic rule over the Indian subcontinent. Of course they claim oppression and tyranny and what not, maybe their right but events that happened hundreds of years ago in another part of the world is used to tarnish Turks in their entirety today.

On a side note its near impossible to achieve anything in european politics without being against your home nation, they don't and won't allow it. Within the european power centres their is a deep hatred and racial prejudice towards Turks. How many times have we seen the EU parliament talk about us with absolute contempt as a minor example?

The best way to see this prejudice is for a white Turk to tell a european he is a Turk, the atmosphere in most cases will change negatively towards him. The irony of course is that the average Turk is much kinder, much warmer, more generous and more loyal then the average european. A Turk who barely knows you, sees you getting attacked he will put his life on the line to protect you. A european whose known you for many decades may do nothing in the exact same situation.

As much as I despise a lot of those groups, their consternation lies much more with Turkish military armament and cooperation with Pakistan....and from there it proceeds through their reductive thinking as it does globally when tribalism is involved.

It is why there is little to no ill will directed against where these Turkics (regd invasions and foreign dynasties of especially northern India) actually originated:

i.e Chagatai and some degree of Kipchak and Oghuz Turkmen w.r.t the Moghul dynasty and Mamluk dynasty preceding it (and number of smaller sultanates and such).

India has good to excellent relations with these central asian countries (Uzbek , Kazakh, Turkmen et al) given they first of all do not pick overt side in India's security neighbourhood like Turkiye has done (especially under AKP tenure).

It has decent enough relations with Persia too (i.e looking well past what folks like Turkoman Nadir Shah did, following right after Turkic Safavid dynasty own history with India prior which is longer story).

Again something that has far greater source of anger than could lie with Anatolian Turks far away (the ottoman navy would fight against the Portuguese in support of a local sultanate in Gujarat during Ottoman empire apex, that was about it).

If the Oghuz of Anatolia (Seljuk et al.) descendants follow same policy as the other Turkics (who intersect with Indian history far more greatly), there would be far less consternation from Hindu groups towards Turkiye nationstate today (especially with backdrop of Ataturk in its modern era).

Since the topic here is TRNC, I will just leave what Mr. Bulent Ecevit (who had his large part to play in the TRNC story) own connection was with India for example:

thanks for enlightening me.

I never read that article by ecevit before, very interesting.

The situation with Pakistan is no doubts unfortunate, because to me it looks like India only looks to side against Turkiye in reaction to our support of Pakistan. If the situation were ideal that entire region, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh would be the one major bloc/region of the world where Turkiye could unite with.

Its a region filled with people who if you are good to them are good back to you. This is very different from are dealings with the US, EU and Russia.

Obviously this is your perspective, And i understand where you coming from.
But it should be pointed out many of us 'former Indians' (current day Pakistani and Bangladeshi) has different perspective on that topic as a whole.

Anyway, this is not the right place to discuss it. So I will just skip.
