References to EOKA Draw Criticism from Turkish Cypriot Authorities

References to EOKA by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola have drawn strong criticism from the Turkish Cypriot authorities. Turkish Cypriot leader Erhurman and "Prime Minister" Ustel accused Metsola of undermining Turkish Cypriot trust in the EU and called on European officials to reconsider their rhetoric. They deemed her remarks unacceptable and a distortion of historical events.
