‘Cyprus is Turkish and will remain so’ - Erdogan ally says
Leader of Turkey’s nationalist MHP opposition party Devlet
Bahceli, an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has claimed “Cyprus is Turkish” in an attack at
Greece and Cyprus during an election rally in Izmir on Sunday.
Bahceli was commenting on Greek criticism over an MHP campaign video that depicts the island of Cyprus as Turkish territory.
He went on to “warn” Greeks not to forget “the days when their grandfathers drowned in the bottom of the sea,” and accused the Greek government of “playing games” in the Aegean.
