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.
