Get another Turkish family back in @bbceastenders for starters

For the amount of Turks there are in London, you’d think there’d be more Turkish representation in mainstream media.

@EP_President stated that it is the EU’s wish to see a united federal Cyprus. However, she failed to acknowledge that it was the Greek Cypriots who rejected this settlement in 2004. And instead of condemning them, the @EUCYPRUS rewarded them with EU membership! #Hypocrisy

@Channel4 @joelycett @MoTheComedian Had the chance to release an unbiased show that highlighted the beauty of Cyprus. Instead it was filled with historical inaccuracies and insulting language aimed at the Turkish Cypriot people. @Okkupied editor summed up our thoughts below ⬇️ 👏

Brilliant thread by @__slsn__ , author of @Okkupied 👏 TURKISH CYPRIOTS EXIST! @Channel4 @joelycett

Friendly reminder for production companies and broadcasters: if you wish to explore the wonders of an island so damaged and still affected by war, do your homework; the educational resources are endless and any excuse is invalid. @Young_Turk_Cyp @1TVINE @NCyprusExists @Okkupied

[hot meze @h0tmez3]

The opportunity to validate an entire race of people while showcasing impartiality, as a public service broadcaster should do, was huge but very sadly avoided. One can only imagine why. @Channel4 @joelycett @MoTheComedian

[hot meze @h0tmez3]

reference the islands partition and Turkey’s intervention, you cannot choose to ignore the rest of the iceberg. While we’re here, the deliberate decision to only explore the recognised South of Cyprus further implies that Turkish Cypriots do not matter, or better yet don’t exist.

[hot meze @h0tmez3]

‘divided into TURKISH NORTH and GREEK SOUTH following Turkish invasion in 1974’ only one time without even touching on the events that led to island’s breaking point?! Granted, the shows intentions are for entertainment only, but if you’re making the conscious decision to

[hot meze @h0tmez3]

the complex and sensitive history of Cyprus but offends an entire race of people who would cease to exist if it were not for Turkey’s intervention in 1974. How can a high profile broadcaster explore Cyprus and reference Britain’s rule while stating that the island is

[hot meze @h0tmez3]

Disappointed to see @Channel4 air some very damaging, insufficient and poorly thought out context behind Cyprus in @joelycett’s Travel Man Ep 3. Referring to the Cyprus Problem using the term ‘Turkish invasion’ not only perpetuates an inaccurate and unjust narrative regarding

I really wanna start doing events for young turkish cypriots to meet and become friends/find love but would anyone even come lol

@oblivionnaz @__slsn__ Nothing but the truth around here

@oblivionnaz @__slsn__ We’ve got a couple things in mind 👀

@oblivionnaz @__slsn__ Hey bestie 💅🏼

[Sonya Karafistan @StealthMother]

This is dark & disturbing on so many levels; that Makarios, yet another religious leader and national hero who sexually abused children, that @GOVUK blackmailed him over it & then all authorities have chosen to conveniently forget. What happened to the children?

[TRNC @TRNCyprus]

Journalism at its worst: @HelenaSmithGDN interviewing 1 person to backup her views and misleading the international community is absolutely disgusting.

[Chimene Suleyman @chimenesuleyman]

It is TERRIFYING how the Western press frame one narrative—the one that suits the West—as the absolute truth, and tries to paint chaos and desperation where there is none. Zero nuance in this piece, not representative of the political beliefs across Cyprus, or the history.
