Turkey's occupation of Cyprus
Reader comment on item: Why I Rooted for the Turkish Coup Attempt
Submitted by DaveP (United Kingdom), Jul 21, 2016 at 05:02
It is my sincere wish that the illegal occupation of Cyrus by Turkey is removed. So far, this occupation has been allowed because of America's support for Turkey. Such an occupation of a European nation, harks back to the Ottoman occuation pf Europe. It has no place in the modern world.
