Ersin Tatar @ErsinrTatar, said yesterday that the Ottomans arrived in Cyprus before the Greeks. However, Salamis in Cyprus was built 26 centuries before the Ottomans. You can't read the inscription on the floor of Salamis, can you, Ersin? Do you know why? Because it's in Greek!

VITTORIA STRATEGICA GRECA 🇬🇷 CIPRIOTA 🇨🇾 ED EUROPEA 🇪🇺. Ci siamo. Due fregate 🇬🇷 greche scortano la nave idrografica 🇫🇷 francese Abeille Marengo, impegnata nella mappatura dei fondali sui quali passerà il cavo HVDC che collegherà Europa 🇪🇺 e 🇮🇱 Israele attraverso Cipro 🇨🇾 e 🇬🇷 Grecia. Una fregata 🇹🇷 turca assiste impotente alla scena da 24 miglia nautiche di distanza, senza poter intervenire. Sanno che quelle ZEE sono di Grecia e Cipro e che intervenire portebbe ad un disatro diplomatico e militare. Il concetto è rafforzato da navi militari 🇫🇷 francesi, pronte ad intervenire semmai ve ne fosse bisogno. La Abeille Marengo lavora seguendo i permessi ed autorizzazioni emesse dalla Grecia e da Cipro, ignorando quelli senza valore in quanto senza competenza emessi da Ankara. Patetici. Una volta di più. Per 🇹🇷 Ankara è uno smacco politico e diplomatico. Per settimane ha tentato di sabotare il progetto: prima agitando il ridicolo e illegale memorandum d'intesa con la 🇱🇾 Libia, incassando una lunga sequenza di dinieghi, dagli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 ai Paesi dell'UE 🇪🇺, da Israele 🇮🇱 fino a Bahrain 🇧🇭 ed 🇦🇪 Emirati; poi inventandosi competenze e diritti che non le appartengono e che nessuno ha riconosciuto. Emettendo NAVTEX fasulle che nessuno considera. Il risultato è sotto gli occhi di tutti: le navi lavorano, le fregate 🇬🇷 greche garantiscono la sicurezza delle operazioni e la 🇹🇷 Turchia può soltanto guardare da lontano, impotente. Il MOU con la Libia e tutte le pretese turche sulle ZEE greca e cipriota si sono rivelati per quello che sono: carta straccia, rivendicazioni prive di fondamento e propaganda destinata al consumo interno dei fanatici nazionalisti e islamisti. Ankara abbaia, ma non morde. Atene non abbaia: quando serve, morde eccome. In Turchia lo sanno, si ricordano il danneggiamento della Kemal Reis nel 2020 e stanno lontani. Vendendo però proclami di vittoria fasulli come una moneta da 3 €. Proclami al di la del ridicolo ma utili per tener calmi i diversamente intelligenti ottenebrati dal nazionalismo islamo-fascista. E questa volta Atene lo fa con il sostegno dell'Unione Europea, degli Stati Uniti e di Israele. Il messaggio è inequivocabile: la sovranità e la legalità internazionale non sono materia negoziabile, né possono essere calpestate impunemente per soddisfare le ambizioni di Ankara. Le ZEE sono greca e cipriota e la Turchia non ha alcun modo di fermare i progetti. Tanto rispetto per i miei amici 🇬🇷 greci. Ancora una volta hanno dimostrato che la determinazione, quando è sostenuta da alleanze solide e dalla volontà di difendere i propri diritti, soprattutto da palle grosse e quadrate (passatemi il termine) conta molto più delle vuote minacce e delle stupide provocazioni. Bravi! Avete vinto. Agli altri non resta che la fuffa mediatica.
Turkish frigate TCG Gökova can only watch from 24 nautical miles away as the French vessel Abeille Marengo conducts seabed surveys for the Greece–Cyprus electricity interconnector, escorted by Greek frigates Nikiforos Fokas and Limnos.

Fellow Europeans, Cyprus — European soil — is still under Turkish occupation. Write “Free Cyprus” on paper, on walls, on blackboards… everywhere. Let’s make “Free Cyprus” the slogan of all Europe. The Turkish occupation army must leave Cyprus. #FreeCyprus

⚠️ Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 and still occupies ~37% of the Greek island in violation of many UN resolutions. 🚫 Turkey was never held accountable, while remaining a NATO member and even getting EU funds. Cyprus is European sovereign territory. End the occupation of Cyprus.

Despite its ongoing division, Cyprus is emerging as a security producer for the United States and the West, write Alan Makovsky and Jonah Brody. foreignpolicy.com/2026/11/03…

95% of my Turkish Cypriot compatriots have made their choice: They hold the passport of the Republic of Cyprus, the passport of their own real, recognised Republic. They are European citizens. Freedom is in the EU, where human rights are fully respected. Have a nice day!
Pro-Israel types are supporting the Greek Cypriot brothers who kill Turks. Btw, Cyprus has been free since 1974.

🇬🇷🇨🇾 FREE CYPRUS! From Paris to Munich and Edinburgh, the words “FREE CYPRUS” are appearing across Europe. Since 1974, Cyprus has remained divided following Turkey’s illegal invasion. More than 52 years later, the Cyprus question remains unresolved. It’s time for renewed international attention, an end to the occupation, and a peaceful, free and reunified Cyprus for all Cypriots. Cyprus must never be forgotten. Turkey is still illegally occupying it 🇬🇷🇨🇾 #FreeCyprus #Cyprus
