“From the very first moments of this tragic incident, we, as the Republic of Turkey—starting with our President—have been closely monitoring developments and have mobilized all our resources.” Cevdet Yılmaz, Vice President of Turkey
The shipwreck off Kyrenia highlighted what the entire international community already knows:
ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
That the pseudo-state depends exclusively on Turkey, which treats it as—and is attempting to transform it entirely into—one of its provinces.
Erdogan, in addition to immediately dispatching helicopters and search-and-rescue vessels, also sent the man responsible for the projects linking Turkey and the pseudo-state:
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz.
“We received detailed information from officials of the ‘relevant’ agencies regarding the current status of search and rescue operations, and the efforts to shed light on the tragic accident.” Cevdet Yılmaz, Vice President of Turkey
In the occupied territories, the media are making it clear that the dismissal of the so-called Minister of Transportation, Erhan Arikli, by another… Ankara official, the pseudo-Prime Minister Ünal Ustel, took place following instructions from Tayyip Erdoğan himself.
Yilmaz pointed out that, thanks to the coordination of three Turkish ministries—Interior, Foreign Affairs, and Defense—with the so-called state—it was possible to identify the shipwreck, while at the same time the remains were successfully located.
The so-called government continues to teeter, with its future depending on Ankara’s plans, and political disputes being played out in the pseudo-Parliament, where the appointment of a commission to investigate the causes of the tragedy is expected to be approved.
Interview with Christodoulides
The Republic of Cyprus, however, did what it was supposed to do, expressing from the very beginning its readiness to help.
Notable are the remarks made by the President of the Republic in an interview with the Turkish Cypriot newspaper Yeni Düzen, which will be published next week.
“At times like these, what unites us in the face of human loss is far stronger than anything that could divide us.My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives, the injured, and all those affected by the consequences of this tragedy.”
Emphasizing that these events serve as a painful reminder of how much the people of this region have in common and how great a responsibility we have to build a future of peace, security, and reunification.
