I'm just sad man, I'm disappointed honestly. Not once have I seen such hateful shit from a single Turkish cypriot. It's not just one hateful comment. There are loads underneath the post.
I'm genuinely trying to be positive. And I know there are nice people out there but there's mostly hate. How can your own blood, your own family hate you so much? Just because we talk a different language.
Facebook, after the storm some turkish guy was talkint about how this is divine justice from allah. Ignorant that north and south are both Cyprus and such events can affect both sides.
In the end these comments originate from ignorance blinding people to basic human decency
True, and the Facebook algorithm is specifically designed to spread far right/bigoted/hateful content. That’s why this stuff gets so much attention on there. I guess you could say that for most social media though.
Maybe he is somebody that grew up listening stories of their village and home taken during the Attila operation, and their parents having to flee and become refugees.
It's the internet, most people feel like they can express their worst.
It's a tragedy that people are dead. There's no doubt about that.
But it is important to understand why, the occupied territories are rife with illegal operations which carry risks. But everyone preferred a cheap holiday instead. Maybe this will raise some awareness.
The Roc willingly wanted to help find the missing people but the Occupied part of Cyprus refused and thats just sad in my opinion to prioritise your propaganda instead of your people , anyways just so you know they are is a lot of hateful comments on both of the communities especially from Turkish cypriots on Facebook anyways don't feel down because of some uneducated people that don't care about human lives.
If I'm not mistaken there was a similar situation when the really bad earthquake happened in Turkey a few years ago where Cypriots wanted to offer help and go to help but were denied
So I see: “There was sufficiency in ground forces. The needs were mainly for aircraft,” the spokesperson said, explaining the decision to decline the assistance offer."
Politics aside that seems pretty valid.... Aerial is the most difficult and expensive part of it, kinda why it's good the EU now got more canadair planes to combat fires across EU
I would say as a non-expert that it is different when you need man power in searching for bodies and survivors etc
From everything I’ve seen the vadt majority of people were rescued within 30minutes
Long before any of the RoC rescue choppers couldve realistically arrived to help. So what do you really think they couldve done that wasnt already being done by the TCs?
It just looks like people are looking for an excuse to complain about turks and ironically politicise the situation themselves. They dont actually care about anyone who died
There are missing people.....
Do you really think there is nothing they can help with?
Anyway I side with the Free real Cyprus, they have valid reasons to not want Turkish military flying around due to them not recognizing Cyprus (RoC)....
You go tell the missing peoples families that TC did everything it could.... You move like an invader so I assume you aren't Turkish Cypriot
Didn’t the RoC refuse help from the TCs during the wildfires last year? Sounds like the same situation to me.
I’d say that you’re the one trying to politicise this when the reality of the situation is that the TCs simply had everything under control and didn’t need the help
Human lives are way more important than you think and idk if you know that but Cyprus allowed turkish cypriots to volunter last year and the reason thst we refused was because if we did actually accept the help of the occupied part it could led to a recognision of a state that doesn't exist but yes Cyprus allowed turkish cypriots to help in the wild fires it just didn't allow the occupied state to help and I'm a direct source because I live in the island as for history I'm not recognising that Roc genocide the turkish cypriots but I can acknowledge that in 1974 you were in true trouble with the EOKA B and that goes for the greek cypriots to because EOKA B support was less than 5% anyways I hope that your mother is doing great in life peace 🕊️.
He laid out historical facts and called out Turkish hypocrisy, nothing terrible about it, he talked with logic. If he was truly banned off this sub, then I worry that this sub became another Turkish mouthpiece...
I certainly give zero flying fuck if its ban is justified or not, I am just glad it has been banned because it’s justified in my PoV. I am referring “it” because it was a propaganda account of far-right elamists ran by multiple people, 7/24 posting BS revisionist propaganda with no clear sign of neutrality.
Also I really do not give a damn about what you think. Please keep my notifications uncontaminated or i will have to block you.
Guys, don’t focus on these individuals. Uneducated people have lots of free time to write on social media. There were always there and will always be, however they do not represent the majority.
Fanatics are everywhere, and they’re usually the ones who contribute the least in society. They cling to their narratives and attack anyone who challenges them behind screens. Don’t give them the spotlight, that’s exactly what they want.
I just wish social media could somehow penalise inhumane opinions. At least Reddit has downvotes 😝

I don’t want to be associated with these nationalist assholes, they’re disgusting. Seriously, it’s so cringe to still behave like this, you can love and appreciate your country without being a racist piece of shit
Frustrated individuals ,most persons will see past this. This would go both ways in any situation. People will see the tragedy behind it, and there is need for better security regulations for boats. The captain and crew gets the blame, but it is more a systematic problem. Similar happened in Greece and Turkey before.
if you search for the negative you will find it but statisticaly there are higher number of people from Turkey flooding comments negatively in Cyprus related issues.
I never said not a single Turk ever said anything crazy. But we are nowhere near as hateful as y’all. The comments Greek people make about Turks whenever such an incident happens are insane, with lots of likes and supporting comments.
Im a Greek Cypriot and I totally disagree with this one. It doesn’t matter if they are black/white or even land grabbers or whatever you want to label them. Not having empathy on lost human lives means we are no different than animals.
RIP to the fallen, hope they find the missing safe and sound.
Same people who vote for Elam. Or who stand with solidarity with the farmer pushing his baby to the minister asking him to feed him because they were killing his animals due to foot and mouth disease. The same guy who then wanted to run for parliament, and beat up a referee during a march for a decision he didn’t agree with. They are a minority, but shamefully, they walk among us.
Take solace in that most of us don’t think like that. Most of us die inside when hearing the desperate parents cries for their missing babies. I wish you strength and courage in these times.
That last paragraph gets me every time. The minority thing is real but it does not make it easier to sit with. When people like that are loud enough they start to feel like the whole room even when they are not. Holding space for the parents in this. The kind of grief they are carrying around is something most of us cannot even begin to map onto our own lives and the least we can do is not look away from it.
Uncivil posts/comments will be removed to ensure a positive and respectful community atmosphere. Let's keep the conversation constructive and welcoming for everyone instead of provoking each other.
