Every year, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus celebrates July 20 as Peace and Freedom Day — a day that ended years of Greek Cypriot oppression over Turkish Cypriots. TRT World's Naim Ongoren rep
Hundreds of Greek Cypriots disappeared during and after the invasion. Many were last seen in Turkish custody or in areas under Turkish military control.
160,000–170,000 Greek Cypriots fled or were expelled from the north, creating one of Europe's largest displacement crises relative to population.
Several villages reported executions of civilians after coming under Turkish control. Some mass graves have been uncovered and investigated over the decades by the bicommunal Committee on Missing Persons and forensic teams.
It should be declared as a part of Turkiye. If Turkiye wouldn't annex it then there will be high chance that western terr0rißts and Israhelli terr0rißts, psychopaths will destroy that beautiful island.
Heavy stuff. Ninth night in a row is a brutal streak; it feels like the tension just keeps escalating without a reset button in sight. Do you think these strikes will actually deter further attacks, or are we just heading for a larger conflict?

It sounds great in theory Cal, but I'll believe it when I see my weekly shop get cheaper. I just hope "rewiring" doesn't end up costing us taxpayers even more.

Absolute game changer! Rewiring the state and shifting power away from Westminster is a massive call right out of the gate. This could completely flip the script on how things are run. Who do you reckon wins big with these reforms? Let me know!
