“LITERALLY” isn’t the flex you think it is. Türkiye didn’t “literally occupy” anything out of ambition. It acted after Greek Cypriots literally burned Turkish villages, literally executed civilians, and literally staged a coup to annex Cyprus to Greece in 1974. Let me remind you what LITERAL means: - Muratağa, Sandallar, Atlılar: 126 Turkish Cypriots—most of them women and children—LITERALLY buried in mass graves. - Between 1963 and 1974, over 30,000 Turkish Cypriots were LITERALLY forced into ghettos and cut off from life on their own island. - The 1960 Constitution, which was LITERALLY signed by both Greek and Turkish Cypriots, was torn up LITERALLY overnight by one side. What triggered Türkiye’s intervention was not ambition, but Enosis—the Greek national project of unifying Cyprus with Greece. The July 1974 coup, orchestrated by the Greek military junta, aimed to erase Turkish Cypriots from the island’s political map. Türkiye, as a legal guarantor power under the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, intervened after diplomacy collapsed and the very survival of Turkish Cypriots was at stake. And when the Annan Plan offered reunification in 2004, Turkish Cypriots voted YES—only to watch the Greek Cypriot NO rewarded with EU membership. So if you're truly worried about "occupation," maybe start with the occupation of memory. Because this selective outrage isn't journalism. It’s propaganda.
