A invasão turca de Chipre ocorrida em 1976 e a ausência de consequências para a Turquia pelo sucedido é um escândalo que devia envergonhar todos os políticos ocidentais da época e os seus sucessores.
É de pasmar o desprezo por este caso ainda mais dada a atenção - leia-se, atitude persecutória - dedicada a Israel. Na verdade, invasão militar e ocupação de um território de um país soberano, limpeza étnica, homicídios em massa, estupros indiscriminados efectivamente perpetrados pelos turcos há apenas 35 anos não trouxeram aos turcos consequências.
• The secret report on Turkish atrocities in Cyprus
Freedom & Justice in Cyprus 25 September 2011
By Panos Ioannides
The secret report from Council of Europe on Turkish atrocities in Cyprus during the 1974 invasion has been recovered. This report documents the systematic and extensive human rights violations perpetrated by the Turkish army against the Greek Cypriot population, raping an murdering thousands in order to force a mass exodus and an ethnic cleansing of the northern third of Cyprus. Turkey has never been held responsible for these atrocities and, in spite of all principles of international law, is still permitted to keep the fruits of the 1974 aggression, specifically the so-called Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.
The report in full is available for download at Cyprus Action Network.
From Cyprus Action Network:
THE SUNDAY TIMES (London, 23 January 1977) having secured a copy of a secret Council of Europe Report, which found Turkey guilty of violating seven articles of the European convention on Human Rights.
On the ground of the 1976 secret Report, THE SUNDAY TIMES published on 23rd January 1977 a first page massive indictment of the Ankara government for the murders, rapes and looting by the Turkish army in Cyprus during and after the 1974 Turkish invasion, together with an Insight Exclusive titled “Turk atrocities: What secret report reveals”.
To the fury of the Turkish government, the newspaper published extracts of the secret Report, that document the killing and execution of civilians (men, women and children), the repeated rapes of women of all ages from 12 to 71, the enforced prostitution of women and girls, the SYSTEMATIC TORTURE of people (including children, women and pensioners), and the systematic looting in all Turkish-occupied areas of Greek Cypriot houses and business premises.
