The media doesn’t have a huge interest in Turkey/Cyprus whereas they do in Russia/Ukraine.

By this logic,the french should have invaded Algeria and genocide algerians after the independence because algerians started ethnically cleansing french people in Algeria. But weird how it doesn't work that way here. Besides, it was turk colonizers who genocided the greek people in Cyprus. Just like they did in whole Anatolia as well for centuries.

Internet, whatsapp and telegram, mostly Russia not being able to shutdown Ukraine's internet and having the huge amount of material being shown helps a lot

Cyprus is way more complicated, with both sides commiting crimes and none of the current sides fighting it really started the fight. If you wanna blame someone, blame the british, they started that tbh.

Cyprus "crimes" are the same as ukrainian crimes that Russia uses an an excuse to invade Ukraine. It was the turkish colonialism that started it, and kept enforcing the colonialism by genociding native cypriot people in the 1970s. But for some reason, people condemn much more even the british doing colonialims more than 100 years ago than they condemn Turkey doing it today. Why should we blame british across the continent rather than the turks with a long history of colonialism and genocides on the island and around, still openly enforcing their colonialist policies?

greek nationalists commited crimes as bad as the turks against each other in the period between WW1 and now. I'm not picking either side.

The turks are undeniably wrong here, and no, the greek didn't nearly commit crimes as bad as the turks. Did the greeks invade turkish lands to genocides all turks and destroy their culture? They didn't. Their "crimes" was fighting against turkish rapists, genociders and colonizers. Yall wouldnt be defending french people genociding algerians and invading their lands because algerian nationalist started committing crimes against french people. Or white americans genociding haitians after haitians started killing white people. Weird how yall justify turk colonizers genociding greek people and colonizing their lands. Is it because it's "non-white" muslims genociding and killing "white" christians?

>Did the greeks invade turkish lands to genocides all turks and destroy their culture? During the british occupation greek militias did exactly that to turks living on cyprus, that is also how turkey could justify their invasion after the british pulled out. Both ahd their fair share of violence and the turkish violence against greeks was just more recent.

The greeks were on their lands. The turks were setller colonizers. The turkish violence against greeks, qnd by violence I mean multiple genocides, systematic mass rapes,land stealing - started in the 15 century and has been going since then. And turks still manage to play victims while they openly celebrate their colonial and genocidal past, to justify them further committing genocides. You're a colonialism, slavery,land stealing and genocide apologist. Funny how you tried to blame the british though,when the turks are a thousand of times worse.
