So, you can see their intentions in Cyprus. Between 1963 and 1974, the Greeks tried to ethnically cleanse the Muslim nation of Turks and we fought and saved it. This is something the entire Muslim world should be proud of. The Muslim countries should realise the dangers that we Muslim Turks are facing in the island, which the Greeks wish to Hellenise. From the Muslim world, I am not asking for money, I am not asking for soldiers, I am not asking for arms and ammunition.
Recognition is our right.
But, no one has the courage to say, We recognise you . Thank God, we have Turkey with us, and Turkey is determined to defend us. Well, Pakistan has always supported Turkey and us at all levels. I addressed the Security Council in 1983 after founding the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. At that time, Pakistan was among the non-permanent members of the Council.
