'Sleepy conflicts atrophy security and then necrosis sets in. Turkey’s permissiveness to international terror means it’s time for the West’s wobbliness to end once and for all.' -mrubin1971
Among the world’s many frozen conflicts, the division of Cyprus may appear to Americans the sleepiest. After all, it has been nearly a half-century since Turkey invaded the island. If Turks say Greek ambitions to annex the island justified their first invasion, such logic fell apart a week later when the Greek military junta collapsed. That Turkey then invaded again, seizing an additional 30% of the island during peace talks, is an affront to good faith, diplomacy, and international law.
None of this should surprise. While Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tells world leaders he is willing to trade Turkish accession to the European Union for lifting his veto on Sweden’s NATO membership, he presides over the only country occupying a European Union member. Turkey’s new foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, has long links to Iranian intelligence. Intelligence service directors throughout the region privately describe Fidan’s pro-Iran sympathies.
