Erhiurman, Dignity and an Outrageous Demand

Tufan Erhiurman consistently incorporates Turkey into the equation in all his interventions, even regarding British bases. The author of the article points out that the Greek Cypriot side insists on talking about a Cypriot solution, ignoring Turkey's role in the problem, and tries to solve it with the Turkish Cypriots, while Turkey is a key factor. Erhiurman criticizes the military alliances and agreements of the Republic of Cyprus, considering them unrealistic in confronting Turkey. He also criticizes the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) project, arguing that an electrical interconnection with Turkey would be more politically and economically correct. Regarding the British bases, Erhiurman raises the issue of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots' participation in any decision, arguing that they are parties to existing agreements. The author of the article counters that Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots have no right to a say in the Republic of Cyprus, as they have violated the agreements and are illegal. The article concludes by emphasizing that Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots have been violating the Establishment and Guarantee Treaties of the Republic of Cyprus since 1964 and are illegal, while since 1974 and 1983 their violations are even more serious, with the declaration of the pseudo-state and the colonization of Famagusta.
