Turkey's Defense Ministry has issued a strong response to a recent European Parliament resolution that calls for accountability regarding sexual violence during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. The ministry referred to the resolution as "baseless" and "irrational." It emphasized that the presence of Turkish military forces on the island has been a guarantee of peace, security, and stability for over fifty years.
The Turkish government reiterated its characterization of the 1974 military action as a "peacekeeping operation." This statement comes in the context of commemorating the anniversary of the Greek military junta-backed coup in Cyprus, which preceded the invasion. The Turkish government has underscored its long-standing position regarding Eoka, a Greek Cypriot paramilitary group, describing its legacy as bloody and significant in the context of the conflict on the island.
