Israel's Quiet Occupation of Cyprus

According to Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's answer to a question at the Planning Budget Commission at the Turkish STA, some 15,000 applications have been submitted for the purchase of real estate in Northern Cyprus over the past five years. Among the foreigners who have purchased property in NorthernCyprus, Israeli citizens rank 12th. On the first places are the British, Iranians, Ukrainians and Russians. Official figures refute claims of a hidden Israeli occupation of Northern Cyprus. However, there is an unnoticed side to this. The reality on the ground is a bit unfortunate.

In Northern Cyprus, the sale of real estate to third country nationals is only possible after approval by the Council of Ministers. North Cypriot citizens, in contrast, can without''citizenship of NorthernCyprus. It is they who acquire large amounts of property! Sabahattin Ismail claims that the listed Jewish-controlled companies have the status of a Cyprus company on official documents and occupy thousands of hectares of land on the island. He points to David Levis, a British citizen who carried out the construction of the Karpaz Gate Marina and was awarded for his services by the World Zionist Congress and Israel.

Israeli interest in Northern Cyprus began to gain momentum in the 2000s during the time of Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Talat. Using incentives granted to Jewish businessmen, a project to build a yacht harbor and five-star hotels was approved''categories in the Erenköy area. At the time, the public was tactfully misled with the message "They are only here for investment". The Israeli-related lobby became one of the most influential after these investments on the island. At this time, a two-story villa was opened in the village of Karaoglanyoglu, subordinate to Jirna, in the name of Haim Azimov, which became the first unofficial synagogue in NorthernCyprus.

It is not only through citizenship that Israelis acquire real estate in Northern Cyprus. They also continue to buyreal estate through offshore companies registered in the names of North Cypriot citizens. North Cypriot citizens who buy land on behalf of lobbies for Israeli interests are sometimes persuaded by the provision of high sums of money.''It is alleged that blackmail and threatening factors intervene. According to unofficial figures, there are about 30,000 Jews for a population of about 386,000 in NorthernCyprus.

The interest of Israel and all Jews from all over the world in Cyprus is far from accidental or spontaneous. The island of Cyprus is in the "promised land" of the Jews. They are active not only in the north of the island, but also in the southern part under Greek control. So much so that only the strategic position of Cyprus and the national security of Turkey is important. The Kıbrıs Vakfı in its press release reminds that the West and Israel have one of''s main objectives are to eliminate Turkey and seize the island. If Cyprus falls, Academon falls. If Academon falls, Anatolia will fall. They warn the Cypriot Turkish community of the sale of land by Zionist Jews and call for a halt to the stealthy occupation. Let Cyprus not become Philistine.

All this analysis was done while I was writing this article. At that moment I received a message from Kıbrıs Vakfı via WhatsApp. The publication reminds us that Cyprus is the most strategically important point in the Mediterranean Sea and national security for Turkey. They continue by saying that one of the main goals of the West and Israel is to exclude Turkey and take over Cyprus. If Cyprus falls, the Mediterranean falls. If the Mediterranean falls, Anatolia falls.''The Waqf warns the Cypriot Turkish community against selling land to Zionist Jews and calls for an end to the quiet occupation. Let Cyprus not become Palestine.
