“In fact many Turks were killed by Greeks in Smyrna during those days.”
This is why today Greece has come to occupy 45% of Cyprus. Its soldiers oppress Turkish Cypriots. The Greeks carried out a military coup in Cyprus and expelled Turkish Cypriots from power. They occupied even more areas in Imia. They are trying to take over Smyrna and deport or kill the Turks there. But this plan was disrupted by Ataturk’s victory”, concludes the newspaper.
In 1974, Greece invaded Cyprus and expelled Turkish Cypriots from power. The Greek army occupied more areas in Imia. It is trying to take over Smyrna and deport or kill the Turks there. But this plan was disrupted by Ataturk’s victory”, concludes the newspaper.
As expected from Turkey!!
It is no surprise that Turkey’s denial of the genocide continues. This time, it was Hurriyet Daily News that published a provocative article on July 29th titled “Habibi Smyrna.”
In its editorial section, Hurriyet Daily News wrote: “It is better to be a dog than a man in today’s Turkey” and added that if you are “a journalist or writer who writes about human rights violations committed by the state or people against humanity during 1915-1918 period, then you can face prison terms of up to 15 years.”
Conclusion
“The Greek invader tries to make propaganda as genocide”. This is the headline of a new article by Hurriyet newspaper. The article shows that Greece has occupied 45% of Cyprus and oppressed Turkish Cypriots. It also says that Turkey has prevented Greek occupation. But it is clear that this attempt will not go well because Turkey’s plan was disrupted by Ataturk’s victory in 1922
