On July 20, 1974, the Turkish military invaded and illegally
occupied Cyprus.
Turkey destroyed churches. Turkish soldiers murdered Greek
Cypriot civilians. Muslim Turkish soldiers raped Greek Cypriot Christian women.
As a result, Turkey forced all Greek Cypriots from their homes.
In the past, I put out a message out that the Republic of
Cyprus needs to arm itself. Cyprus needs to be prepared for military conflict
with the Turks.
Turkey warns Greece and Cyprus that it will invade one day
to take over Greek islands. Turkey bullies Cyprus to take control of its
offshore oil.
The modern Greeks hold direct DNA from our warrior Ancient
Greek ancestors. We are not wimps. When a Greek is pushed, the Greek fights and
wins.
Cyprus President, Nikos Christodoulides, lived up to his
2023 election.
He is rebuilding the Greek Cypriot National Guard. He is
planning to build defense equipment on the island of Cyprus. Greece needs to
take note. At the end of 2025, Cyprus, Greece, and Israel signed pact creating
rapid defense units to counter Turkish military threats. Cyprus President
Christodoulides spent 1.2 billion euros to upgrade the Cypriot National Guard
with advanced weapons.
It has been 52 years since Turkey invaded and occupied the
Greek island nation of Cyprus.
The time of being victims is over. The time to arm and
liberate occupied Cyprus from theTurkish military occupation is now.
I thank Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides for arming up
Cyprus.
Alex Aliferis has worked in Washington D.C. on issues linked
to Greece, and Cyprus.
