Hypocrisy Over Ukraine

 The West blessed the Turkish invasion of Cyprus

My mind rushes to 1974 when NATO, primarily America and England, authorized Turkey, a NATO “ally,” to invade Cyprus, a Greek island that had the misfortune of having a Moslem Turkish minority and British military bases.

In order to make the Turkish invasion easy, the Americans ordered Greece to remove its army from Cyprus. The Turks invaded Cyprus, blasting their way through Greek villages and towns, converting Orthodox churches into stables and mosques, killing thousands, and forcing half of the Greek Cypriot population to become refugees.

I don’t remember the West getting upset or imposing sanctions on Turkey. The atrocities of the invading Turks did not fill the pages of major American or European papers or found television reporters who cared to denounce the Turks. And, of course, “neutral” Switzerland failed to freeze Turkish money in its banks.

1974 twin Invasion of Cyprus by Turkey (July 20 and August 15):

ca. 7.000 civilian casualties

ca. 200.000 internally displaced persons

1.500 missing persons (executed)

Massive rapes and torturing of civilians

Destruction of religious and cultural heritage

Occupation manu militari of nearly 37% of Cypriot territory and creation of an illegal state and regime; ethnic cleansing and genocide against Cypriot Greeks in the Turkish-Occupied Territories

Existing legal framework:

UN SC and GA Resolutions against the Invasion and against the so-called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus"

ECHR decisions against Turkey

Multiple Resolutions of other international organizations and bodies, of the EU included

Where are the sanctions against the Perpetrator? 

The Perpetrator is still a NATO member and a formal candidate for EU membership!
