We cannot accept that the intervention that brought peace and established justice is targeted by Greek propaganda. The Peacekeeping Operation in Cyprus, the heroic Turkish soldier, peace and justice cannot be targeted through this series", he says in a post on X.
1974 Cyprus Barış Harekatı'nı distorted and a series that did the propaganda of the Romanian side, it is very disturbing that it will be broadcast on a film platform from 20 Eylül.
Bringing peace and bringing justice to the intervention, we accept the targeting of Rum propaganda.
