The World Federation of Trade Unions is acting as the spokesperson for imperialism.

The Secretary General of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), based in Athens, Pambis Kiritsis, in a message of support and solidarity sent to the Cyprus Workers' Trade Union Federation on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation, distorted the facts by referring to the operation as an "invasion operation" and calling Turkey an "occupier," thereby repeating the theses of Greece and imperialism once again.

Let us underline this... No labor organization should be an apparatus of imperialist strategies. Secondly, labor, the most valuable act of humanity, should not be the curtain or prop of any ideology.

In his latest statement, the Secretary General of the World Federation of Trade Unions violated these two principles, and went even further, distorting the truth by using the so-called concepts of peace, justice, and labor, as is the case with all leftist factions.

With this approach, it has become clear to us that the World Federation of Trade Unions, whose concern is not labor, has taken on the role of a spokesperson for imperialism.

But the truth has a way of reminding itself. So let us remind you of these truths in bullet points:

In 1960, the Republic of Cyprus was established under constitutional guarantees that ensured equal rights for Turks and Greeks, with Turkey, England, and Greece as guarantors. However, the Republic was destroyed in 1963 due to unilateral actions by the Greeks.
Between 1963 and 1974, the Greeks, under the strategy of depopulating the island of Turks to achieve union with Greece (Enosis), continued their pressure, persecution, and embargo against the Turkish Cypriots without interruption during the 11-year period; they carried out mass massacres against children, youth, women, and men indiscriminately, while also forcing Turks into exile. The Bloody Christmas, beach, and bathroom massacres are still remembered. So the period of 1963-1974 in Cyprus means blood, tears, massacres, mass graves, and migration for Turkish Cypriots.
The WFTU's concealment of the perpetrators and reasons behind the July 15, 1974 coup, which they supposedly condemned in their statement, is another hypocrisy. As even Makarios admitted, Greece was behind the coup, and it aimed to annex Cyprus through the coup plotters.

These facts alone justify the legitimacy of the Cyprus Peace Operation on July 20, 1974, carried out by Turkey using its guarantor rights. Turkey is not an occupier in Cyprus; on the contrary, it maintains its presence as a guarantor to protect peace. When the existence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is recognized within the framework of a two-state solution with the full realization of international law, imperialist strategies will be overturned once again, and the prop role of the Greek Cypriot Administration will come to an end. We openly declare here that we do not find the so-called peace and human rights rhetoric of an international labor organization, which turns a blind eye to the relations of the Greek Cypriot Administration with imperialism and genocidal Zionist Israel, credible. As the Memur-Sen family, who put labor at the center and believe that a just world ruled by justice and peace can only be built through labor:

We continue our struggle against imperialism by supporting the idea of a two-state Cyprus, which will ensure the continuation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as an independent and sovereign state.

Again, we declare that the attempt to hide the crimes of the shameless and establish justice and peace by blaming Turkey is sheer foolishness, and we note those who continue to carry out dirty propaganda against this in the name of justice and peace.

On the other hand, we emphasize that we stand against the transformation of concepts such as peace, labor, freedom, and human rights, which ensure the moral superiority of humanity, into tools of dirty strategies, especially when used to veil the interests of Western imperialists, and we declare that peace in our region can only be achieved by overturning imperialist strategies.
