Με την είδηση που δημοσίευσε προχθές η Χουριέτ και γρήγορα αναδημοσιεύτηκε λόγω του ονόματος της Lopez, πρέπει να είμαστε και λίγο επιφυλακτικοί όσον αφορά την εγκυρότητά της. Είναι γνωστό ότι οι Μογγόλοι σκαρφίζονται διάφορα προκειμένου να διαφημίζονται. Μην ξεχνάμε πχ. την ιστορία με τον Beckham το 2004 που δήθεν θα πήγαινε σε ξενοδοχείο στην κατεχόμενη Κύπρο και τελικά στην εκδήλωση εμφανίστηκε σωσίας του. Το ξενοδοχείο πάντως που θα μείνει η Lopez, αν τελικά είναι αλήθεια ότι θα πάει, κόστισε 220 εκ. δολάρια και έχει και μια παραλία 1 χιλιόμετρο... το σε ποιον ανήκει η γη πάνω στην οποία χτίστηκε, είναι βέβαια ένα θέμα...
Όπως και να έχει βέβαια καλά κάνουν από το cyprusactionnetwork.org και της θυμίζουν μερικά πράγματα:
Dear Ms Jennifer Lopez, 800 Greek Cypriot women were raped by the Turks in 1974…It is with dismay and shock that the people of Cyprus and especially the Greek Cypriot women in the Republic of Cyprus and elsewhere in the world, heard the news that you intend to attend the inauguration of a hotel in the occupied by Turkey part of our native country and celebrate your birthday there.
Our country was barbarically invaded in July 1974 by Turkey . Turkey ruthlessly murdered well over 5,000 in the process, mostly unarmed civilians, women, men, children and old people, uprooted by the use of force 200,000 Greek Cypriots making them refugees in their own country, imported well over 160,000 Turkish Anatolian settlers to fill in the vacuum left with the persecution of the 200,000 Greek Cypriots, 1,619 are still missing presumed murdered, and ever since TURKEY holds on to the 37% of the island with the might of her 43,000 strong Turkish army. In our occupied area we have well over 500 Christian churches and cemeteries that have been desecrated by the Turks and turned into stables, toilets, mosques, coffee shops and night clubs ( I hope you are not also planning to be entertained in one of them!).
We are shocked and dismayed to hear of your move to go and celebrate your birthday with your children and husband in our land under Turkish invasion and occupation. You are going to celebrate your birthday at our stolen land and properties when we are not allowed to return and enjoy our properties and land.
However, the most shocking in your case is that you are allowing yourself to be used by aggressors, human rights violators and rapists to satisfy their political ends for recognition of their pseudo entity that nobody else recognises except the aggressor itself, Turkey . Furthermore it is forbidden to be recognised by two Security Council Resolutions (United Nations). Will this not have an adverse impact on your personality and your biography?
Searching through the internet we find that you are praised for “giving to a Children's Charity "Children’s Health Fund’s Operation Assist" helping Hurricane Katrina victims, and for helping an Amnesty International charity about the killings of Mexican women in Chiapas , Mexico . http://www.looktothestars.org/
Celebrating with the rapists?
Well, is it not double standards from your part after having teamed up with Amnesty International to raise awareness about Mexican femicide for the killing of 350 young women to honour with your presence and that of your young children the rapists and murderers of our women and children during July and August 1974?
According to official statistics of the Republic of Cyprus well over 800 women and young girls including even grandmothers, were barbarically raped and murdered in front of their families. Horrific narration of those crimes of the century by the Turks were published in unprecedented detail in the British newspaper The Sun on 5 August 1974 and two years later were officially confirmed and condemned by the Council of Europe. Turkey was found guilty as charged!...
During July and August 1974 such were the rapes of our women and young girls that the Government of Cyprus had to ask for medical help from the British hospitals in the British bases on the island. The British law had to be modified so that the doctors in the British bases could operate and execute abortions without being sued.
I am a Greek Cypriot refugee from occupied Cyprus and I cannot return to my home and property. My parents died refugees never being able to return to their ancestral homes. How would you feel in our position? How do you think people around the world will view your stance of honouring the rapists of our sisters, mothers and grandmothers when you are promoting awareness for the murders of 350 young Mexican women? How will that add to your charitable work you think?
The Turks go to a great length to secure support from people like you in order to promote their political ambitions and objectives. Does your charitable work and status permit you to give credibility to Turkish rapists, thieves, invaders, occupiers of our stolen properties?
Here below please read some of those horrific atrocities of rape and murder inflicted on our people, our women and children as published in The Sun on 5 August 1974 first page, with the characteristic titled “ BARBARIANS” and in sub-title “The Sun says SHAME ON THEM”.
Please do not allow yourself to be used by the Turks. Search your conscience and do not give us reason to say “SHAME ON YOU TOO”.
Please take a few moments and read the report that follows written by Journalist Iain Walker who covered the Turkish invasion and took first hand evidence of the Turkish atrocities.
On 23 January 1977 the British newspaper “The Sunday Times” having secured a copy of a secret Council of Europe Report which found Turkey guilty of violating seven articles of the European convention on Human Rights, published a first page massive indictment of Ankara government for the murders, rapes and looting by the Turkish army in Cyprus, during and after the 1974 Turkish invasion. With an “Insight Exclusive” titled “ Turk atrocities: What secret Report reveals” and to the fury of the Turkish government, the newspaper published extracts of that report referring to testimonies by the victims themselves, the rapes of Greek Cypriot young girls, mothers and grandmothers, reaching a number well over 800…
All these evidence together with analytical detail of our cultural and religious destruction in the occupied area of Cyprus , where you are planning to celebrate your birthday with your children and husband, were published in numerous articles, starting with the “Guardian”in London in 1976. Another devastating for the Turks report was written by Michelle A.Vu in “The Christian Post”, on 29 April 2008, titled “The last church standing in occupied Cyprus”. Also the Orthodox Church of Cyprus has sued Turkey for the religious destruction of our Christian churches and the case is awaiting hearing in the European Court of Human Rights. (All these are documented in full and with original sources in the book published in the Republic of Cyprus in 2009 titled “Bloody Truth”. A bilingual book (Greek and English) to enlighten people on the plight of our nation and our people for justice and freedom. We are sending you the link to read this book in English in a pdf form.

The Greek Cypriot people do not accept surrendering their land and half of their country to Turkey in order for her to legitimise her crimes.
Therefore Turkey is trying with many dubious ways, just like your case, to gather support for her pseudo-entity which no other country recognises apart from her.
I hope you can change your mind and do not give in to Turkish ruthless political promotion.
Yours sincerely,
