In the reactions that the show has caused in Turkey Famagusta at Netflix reported on Minister of Foreign Affairs, Giorgos Gerapetritis, answering a related question.

“We all understand that History is not written off, it is not erased, it is imprinted in the historical memory. The Turkish invasion of Cyprus is a subject which is not amenable to multiple interpretations. History records” he said characteristically.

It is recalled that the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement in which it states: “The series entitled ‘Famagusta‘, which will be broadcast on a digital platform, serves the black propaganda of the ‘Greek Cypriot administration of Southern Cyprus’ (Republic of Cyprus) by distorting historical events.

This series is a great disrespect to the honored memories of the Turkish Cypriots who were massacred by Greek Cypriot gangs in the period 1963-74. Such futile attempts to portray the events differently from what happened, further strengthens our determination to fight for our national cause of Cyprus. We pay tribute to our Cypriot veterans and our heroes.”

Justice and Development Party spokesman Omer Celik said: “It is very worrying that a series that distorts the ‘1974 Peace Operation’ in Cyprus and makes propaganda for the Greek Cypriot side (Republic of Cyprus) will be broadcast on a cinema platform by September 20. We cannot accept that the intervention that brought peace and established justice is targeted by Greek propaganda. Through this series, the ‘Peace Operation in Cyprus’, the heroic Turkish soldier, peace and justice cannot be targeted.”

Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulidis also responded earlier to the Turkish criticism saying that “they obviously haven’t seen the Famagusta documentary”.

“Nobody can dispute the Turkish Invasion of 1974. The series sends very important messages. I have watched it and messages are being sent about the need to resolve the Cyprus problem and the relations between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots,” said the Cypriot president, according to philenews.com.
