Northern Cyprus was seized by an invading Turkish army in July 1974. Many of the Greeks and Maronites in that territory taken by the Turks then fled south, to the Greek-ruled Republic of Cyprus.

In 1983, the Turks set up a puppet-regime in the territory they had seized, calling it the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.”

The Turks have propped up that pseudo-state — that has not been recognized internationally — ever since.

It is the Turks who are “occupying” 36% of the territory of Cyprus.

Now the Turkish media are up in arms about what they describe as an attempt by Israelis — or if not Israelis, then Jews from everywhere — to “occupy” northern Cyprus by buying up property in that region.

If that is the definition of “occupation,” then Saudi Arabia, which now owns tens of millions of acres of American farmland, must be guilty of trying to “occupy” the United States.

Over the past month, Turkish media has been reporting on the “silent occupation” of northern Cyprus by Jews.
