Is the Turkish Republic of Cyprus Target Close?

From where to where? Isn't it so, dear readers? Exactly 47 years and five months through the Cyprus Peace Operation; 46 years and 48 days from the establishment of the “Autonomous Turkish Cypriot Administration”; 46 years and 9 months since the establishment of the “Turkish Cypriot Federated State”; Exactly 38 years and five days have passed since the establishment of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" (TRNC), whose legitimacy continues today. Can you take a look? To the organizational systematic that the Turkish Cypriots put forward in the process of statehood, which they could not give up in any way. Like every Turkish compatriot, it is seen that the Turkish Cypriots, without deviating from any other path, tend towards the systematic of statehood with the motto of 'state-ebed-duration'. The experiences of the Turkish Cypriots in the system of "stateization" with three official and legitimate formations that gave them social vitality and formality, and their efforts to find solutions to the problems they faced through democratic means went down in history as a process.

Proto-Turkish Etruscans took Rome, the ancestors of Turks Scythians crossed all of Europe horizontally and vertically and took the system of establishing a state all the way into Scotland, Celts in the Galatia region including their homeland Yozgat and Ankara, northwest Spain (Galicia), northwest The fact that they put forward the same organizational system in France (Bretonnia), southwestern England (Cornwall), the country of Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, the Republic of Ireland (Eire) and Northern Ireland (Ultser) It is a reflection of the European continent. Let's not forget, BC III. The tribe that migrated from Europe in the 16th century and settled in Yozgat: Galatians. By the way, let's say, the name of the Turkish Inland Sea, which is described by the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea, drying up in Central Asia, is "Issyk Sea"; The prehistoric name of the Arctic Ocean, which is of great importance with the melting of the glaciers, is the "Scythian Ocean". Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha's designation of the Eastern Mediterranean as the Turkish Sea is a manifestation of this approach.

The distinguishing feature of the "Turkish Consciousness", which is the most important parameter of the stateization systematic in the process until today, is the famous British Historian Prof. Dr. It is the "Challenge & Answer" theory put forward by Arnold Joseph Toynbee in his "History Study". I really adopt this theory and see it as the core of the East-West conflict. Sir, according to this theory, in the history of humanity, the barbarian and vandal west have always directly challenged the civilized east, and the east has had to respond to this challenge in kind. This is a complete reciprocity, which is an important parameter of diplomacy. In other words, it is to oppose what is done to you. Let's think about it, isn't the general philosophy of the 'Crusades' also built on this theory? Yes, it is exactly like that.

The right of the Turkish Cypriots to determine their own future or self-determination (1), which has been demonstrated until today, is also mentioned by Prof. Dr. It almost overlaps with the "Challenge & Response" theory put forward by Arnold Joseph Toynbee in his "History Study". As defenders of an ancient national consciousness, Turkish Cypriots have responded to every challenge made by the Greek Cypriots, on a democratic basis, within the framework of the right to self-determination on the basis of human rights and international law.

In 1571, for which thousands of martyrs were given, it was usurped and annexed by Great Britain, which became 'Turkish Cyprus' but a fait accompli, the country where the sun never sets. However, the Ottoman Empire XVI. Towards the last quarter of the century, it was in the first of the rings that had been thrown around Anatolia as a military necessity. Turning the crisis into an opportunity, Great Britain, the first scientific Turkish nationalist, led the revolutionist Ali Süavi's unsuccessful coup attempt aiming to put Sultan Murat V to power, three days after the 'Çırağan Incident', on 23 May 1878, on the condition that Cyprus be given to him. At the Berlin Conference, he declared that he would help the Ottoman Empire against the demands of Tsarist Russia. At the end of the 93 War (1877-78), the Ottoman Empire was in indescribable difficulties, and if the British said no, the Russians could walk from Yeşilköy to the capital Istanbul at any time, right under the nose of Istanbul, and enter the palace in an hour. This is why the perfect time to have a base in the Mediterranean was chosen for British expansionism. Sultan II, who is still in his second year on the throne. Abdulhamid also had to reluctantly agree to leave Cyprus to England in return for aid to the Ottoman Empire and the departure of the Russians from Yeşilköy at the Berlin Conference on May 25, 1878. When the First World War started and the Ottoman Empire entered the war on the side of Germany, Great Britain annexed Cyprus on 5 November 1914.

Let's not forget, the Turkish War of Independence is a rare War of Independence won without a navy. While İsmet İnönü was going to Lausanne, let alone Cyprus, the Turkish Straits, consisting of the Istanbul, Marmara and Çanakkale Straits, were under occupation. As a matter of fact, according to Article 20 of the Treaty of Lausanne, the Government of the Turkish Grand National Assembly was obliged to recognize the annexation of Cyprus by England on 5 November 1914. However, Article 16 of the Treaty of Lausanne also opened the way for Turkey to become a guarantor in the lands of the Ottoman Empire that were left to the great imperial states. In other words, in Article 16 of the Treaty of Lausanne, it is agreed that Turkey renounces all of its rights and titles in all the lands outside the borders determined in this treaty and on the islands specified in Articles 12 and 15, except for those lands that are also recognized by this treaty. However, this article specifically mentions that Turkey is also one of the parties to the decisions to be taken on the future of the ceded lands and exclusively the islands. The reasoned decision of Turkey as a guarantor for the future in any case is clearly set forth in this article.

This issue is a great gain according to Article 132 of the Treaty of Sevres. Because, with Article 132 of the Treaty of Sèvres, "Turkey is outside the borders determined by this treaty and is not included in any circle of influence by the provisions of the aforementioned treaty, and on the kaffe-i land outside of Europe or on the land that it can claim to be related to this land, from all its legal and dispositions to its allies." declares that he has waived in his favour. Turkey undertakes to accept and approve the verdict that the main alliance has or will adopt from the alliance with the ledelicap duvel-i etc. in order to determine the finality of this provision.” With this binding article, Turkey has openly pledged that it has renounced all abandoned lands, including the future. The laboratory of social sciences is to make comparisons. For this reason, comparing the Treaty of Lausanne with the Treaty of Sèvres brings healthy results. This famous Article 16 is the reason why the Republic of Turkey is located in Syria, Libya, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Aegean and Azerbaijan and Cyprus today.

In the 1950s, when ENOSIS, which meant the unification of the Island of Cyprus with Greece, came to the agenda, the guarantor status came to the fore in Cyprus, where the Republic of Turkey, the legal successor of the Ottoman State, renounced in favor of England in Lausanne, and this situation was realized within the legal framework. On the other hand, as a reflection of their synergies on the field, Turkish Cypriots formed the 'Turkish Cypriot General Committee' in 1963, the 'Cyprus Provisional Turkish Administration' in 1967, against the Greek Cypriots' usurpation of the 1960 Partnership Republic by force of arms, and the exclusion of Turkish Cypriots from all state organs, respectively. In 1971, the 'temporary' adjective was abolished and the 'Turkish Cypriot Administration' was established. Because there is no disorganization in the leaven of the Turks, the mentality of "you are nothing without an organization" is dominant.

As a matter of fact, within the scope of the guarantor right granted to the Republic of Turkey by the 1959-1960 Zurich, London and Nicosia agreements, the Turkish Armed Forces launched the Cyprus Peace Operation on 20 July 1974 to ensure peace and tranquility on the Island, by the Turkish Cypriots on 1 October. In 1974, the 'Autonomous Turkish Cypriot Administration' was established.

Let us also remind you that after the Second Peace Operation in Cyprus on 14 August 1974, UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim came to the Island on 25-26 August 1974 and demanded the start of bilateral talks between the communities. Turks acted on this legal ground.

Upon these developments, the Autonomous Cyprus Turkish Administration Assembly declared the establishment of the Turkish Cypriot Federated State (KTFD) unanimously in order to switch to the multi-party parliamentary system and to establish a federation on the basis of equality and to form the Turkish wing of the necessary federated units. The founding declaration of KTFD was read in the Assembly by Rauf Denktaş, the Chairman of the Board and the first President of KTFD in the Autonomous Cyprus Turkish Administration Assembly. Immediately afterwards, the studies on the KTFD Constitution, which will be submitted to the public vote, were started. The KTFD Constitution was put to a public vote on 8 June 1975 and accepted.

The founding purpose of KTFD is so clear that Vedat Çelik, who went to New York to defend the Cyprus Peace Operation after being appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, represented the 'Turkish Cypriot' for the first time on the international arena. Vedat Çelik, who held this post until 12 December 1978, expressed at the meeting in New York why they adopted the federation thesis under the conditions of that period. At that time, Foreign Minister Çelik, who showed that KTFD had two main aims during its establishment, expresses the background of its opening to the world public opinion with a very conscious and appropriate approach as follows. (2nd)

"First, you are nothing without a state; you are a minority. The federation is to establish a new partnership state by bringing two equal parties together. The establishment of that equality federated state was the most appropriate move in our opinion. We also prepared the infrastructure for the possible federal government. He kindly told the Greeks, 'We have established our federation, you should too. Thus, let's sit down two federated states and establish a confederal state.' We called for it."

In addition, Vedat Celik, because of the famous Johnson letter, T.C. Reminding that after the amphibious, airborne, airborne and launch operations that could not be carried out by the Turkish Cypriots, with the great courage of establishing a state, he noted that the establishment of the KTFD brought the proclamation process of the TRNC along with it. The search for a permanent solution to the Cyprus problem started with the first meeting between the late Rauf Denktaş and Glafkos Clerides, held in Beirut on 3 June 1968, with the participation of UNSG Special Representative Osorio Tafall. It has been almost six months since this quest completed its 53rd year. Can you imagine? This problem has not yet reached any solution.

Upon the letter of US President Johnson in 1964, T.C. The Cyprus Peace Operation on July 20, 1974, which was carried out in accordance with the Ankara-based decision, in line with the aphoristic phrase "A new world will be established, Turkey will take its place there", said by the Prime Minister, İsmet İnönü, gave this courage to the Turkish Cypriots. Reminding that the first days of the KTFD's announcement were very exciting and it was felt in the parliament, Çelik states that with the Turkish soldiers' landing on the island, they felt a great sense of joy, relief and confidence. Çelik stated that the biggest problem they faced in the negotiations until that time was "equality" and states that even today, the Greek Cypriots act as if they had a republic on their own and they negotiated with deception tactics to establish a federation within a unitary state. This is exactly what the Greek Cypriots did. Vedat Çelik, who stated that it was necessary to move from an autonomous government to a federated state in order to establish the federation at that time, said, "The first reaction to our declaration of a federated state was positive. The reason for the establishment was well explained at that time. We also explained well what our expectations were from the federation. Later, in 1983, during the establishment of the TRNC. They condemned us unjustly." By saying that he reveals what is essential for the day.

The period from the establishment of the KTFD to the proclamation of the TRNC, the formation of the Turkish Cypriot nation and the rooting of democratic institutions and organizations, the internalization of individual freedoms and the establishment of democratic rules, theory and life were ensured.

The first general election in KTFD was held in 1976, and the second was held five years later in 1981. In this process, while two local elections were held, the problems faced by the citizen and the state were tried to be solved within the democratic parliamentary system.

The first President of KTFD, Rauf Denktaş, was elected as the President of the State in the first general elections held in 1976 in accordance with the constitution, while also carrying out the duties of head of state and parliament after the proclamation of KTFD, and Nejat Konuk became the first prime minister of KTFD in 1976. Although it has not been even two years since the Cyprus Peace Operation, this extraordinary transition process in the stateization systematic has enabled the Greek Cypriot side to be involved in this process. In other words, in this process, while KTFD was open to negotiations for a solution to the Cyprus problem, a summit was held between Archbishop Makarios and Denktaş in 1977, followed by a summit between Greek Cypriot leader Spiros Kyprianu and Denktaş in 1979. In other words, this extraordinary system of stateization has also been the driving force of inter-communal negotiations.

The KTFD Assembly consciously preferred to declare the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) with a correct and appropriate decision taken unanimously on November 15, 1983. That is to say, North Cyprus, just like North Vietnam and North Korea, was consciously pursued in this direction because its division dictated the existence of two separate lands and societies.

During this process, while the 'Turkish Cypriot' said yes to almost every initiative, the 'Greek Cypriot' maintained its negative attitude at almost every stage, and embarked on any action that spoiled every failure he lost in the field he brought to the table. This is the traditional characteristic of the Greek, the Greek Cypriot.

Nowadays, a new one is opening in front of the Turkish Cypriots. Especially, after the Maraş region, the Las Vegas of the Eastern Mediterranean, which has been closed for 46 years in the TRNC, started to be opened gradually with the decisions taken, the deception of the federation is no longer considered possible. Vedat Çelik, the first Prime Minister of KTFD, continues to shed light on this issue as follows:

"Now it is understood, it is not possible to have a federation today. The federation arises from a need and a common search. Today this does not exist. There are two geographies and separate sovereign peoples in Cyprus. We will either agree as sovereign equals or go our own way. There is no other way."

This approach brings along a period of restoration on the people in Cyprus. This approach is increasingly It will also honor the spirit of the Conqueror of Famagusta, Lieutenant General Osman Fazıl Polat, whom I am honored to know. Towards the end of the second phase of the Cyprus Peace Operation in 1974, Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit had three helicopters landed in front of him to end the operation, but he said 'military service will be fulfilled', saying that the dominant lands will be kept and I think it will be given to the Greeks as a part of the bag for the sake of bargaining. The acquisition of the Maraş region, which has become a city, has strengthened the hands of both the Republic of Turkey and the TRNC for today. I have personally experienced how these lands were acquired with blood, in Famagusta, where I went as a Paratrooper Captain in 1975 after the operation. However, it must be expressed with regret that the Greek Cypriot Administration did not comply with the decisions taken in the meetings in Bürgenstock, the UN Secretary General did not say "yes" to the referendum held within the framework of the Annan Plan, but was made a member of the European Union, and the Turkish Cypriots were almost condemned. It also shows that the historical mission of the TRNC in the future is over. The cards of the EU member GKR Sector and Greece are open, "Warrants Must Abolish, Turkish Occupation Must End". Could such a situation be valid in Cyprus? Not possible. In this case, no matter what anyone says, the next target is the 'Turkish Republic of Cyprus'. Because in Cyprus, for 46 years, there has been a Turkish Cypriot and a sovereign and independent state that has proven itself on every occasion, dear readers. The Turkish Cypriot people have to act in the direction of the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's words, "The independence of the nation will save the nation's determination and decision again". Especially after the Karabakh Operation, which lasted for 44 days and was crowned with the definitive defeat of Armenia, the turning of the wheels of diplomacy, especially public diplomacy, in order to ensure that Turkey and the TRNC are recognized diplomatically by their friends and brothers will pave the way for Turkish Cypriots. For this reason, the TRNC's evolution into the 'Turkish Republic of Cyprus' must be ensured. This issue should be addressed with the active approach of the late Minister of Justice Mahmut Esat Bozkurt, who dealt with the superiority of the situation in the Bozkurt Lotus Case. Now it's my turn to do this, you strengthen your defense. Yes, Dear Readers, from now on, let's let them think a little bit.

(1) The right to self-determination is used incorrectly as “self-determination” as a galat-ı sahih in Turkey. In fact, if it is to be expressed in English, it should be expressed as two words in the form of 'self-determination' in accordance with English terminology and pronunciation. The right to self-determination, to be expressed in the form of self-determination, and to read it in English at the beginning and at the end in French is a grave mistake. With the habit of reading foreign words in Turkish in French, this diplomatic term can be introduced into the literature in the form of "auto-determination".
