The president of the Turkish sector of Cyprus, Mustafa Akıncı, has condemned the so-called “Operation Peace Spring” in Syria.
According to the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, the president of the Turkish sector of Cyprus, Mustafa Akıncı, declared that no matter how much Turkey calls the operation “Peace Spring,” blood, not water, will flow from it. “My greatest wish is that dialogue begins as soon as possible and the issue is resolved through diplomatic means,” said the Turkish president of the Turkish sector of Cyprus.
These words, as expected, infuriated Turkish President Erdogan, who declared that the leader of the Turkish sector of Cyprus had overstepped his bounds. “In the world, only Turkey recognises Cyprus as an independent state. Soon our Cypriot compatriots will teach the president a good lesson,” Erdogan said.
