Saudi Arabia: ‘We support our ally Cyprus against Turkey’s activities in Mediterranean’

[Saddam Hussein]

I don't know, but if it were to happen, it would makes sense for Pakistan to side with Iran being neighbours and all.
But a lot of Pakistan feel closer to Turks than Arabs just in what i observed. Although best coming from a Pakistani.

Does it matter, I declare Arabization upon all of you

 

[dani92]

Isn't it funny that an Arab tries to explain Pakistanis why they are .... closer to Arabs then to others.

Pakistan has it's own culture, history... why don't you let the Pakistanis answer that?

For sure the Pakistanis are not fan of your wannabe European nudist culture

 

[Attila the Hun]

Nudist culture or terrorist culture.
Give me naked Euros on the beach anyday!! But thats just me. If Pakistanis prefer someone screaming Allah Akbar before blowing themselves up, good for them lol

That's not our problem, you can express this opinion in Istanbul maybe but many parts of Turkey would beat you up for it, Muhahahah!

Izmir was liberated from Greeks long ago, but today it faces invasion on the psychological level. The Greek culture of "freedom" has invaded. The mutawa'een should be introduced.

Izmir has a lot of Greeks. Which means it's overtaken by Greeks by the likes of you?

Saudi Arabia: ‘We support our ally Cyprus against Turkey’s activities in Mediterranean’

September 13, 2019 at 12:10 am |

Saudi Foreign Minister Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf said his country supports the Greek Cypriots, which he described as an ally, against Turkey’s oil and gas exploration activities in the Mediterranean.

This came in statements made by Al-Assaf during a press conference held by his Cypriot counterpart, Nikos Christodoulides. The Saudi Foreign Ministry published parts of the press conference on Twitter, on Thursday.


Saudi Foreign Minister Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf said his country supports the Greek Cypriots, which he described as an ally, against Turkey’s oil and gas exploration activities in the Mediterranean.

This came in statements made by Al-Assaf during a press conference held by his Cypriot counterpart, Nikos Christodoulides. The Saudi Foreign Ministry published parts of the press conference on Twitter, on Thursday.

Al-Assaf, who is currently on a visit to Rome, told reporters: “Yes, we discussed the problem of Cyprus. We support the legitimacy and sovereignty of Cyprus. We also support international resolutions, especially those of the United Nations, and we hope that the parties will solve the problem in a peaceful manner. We will continue to support Cyprus.”

Al-Assaf confirmed that he met President of Cyprus and the speaker of the Parliament, Thursday morning, adding: “I see great interest in the development of relations at all levels.”

The Saudi foreign minister pointed out that he discussed with his Cypriot counterpart several economic opportunities.

Saudi-Turkish tension

Al-Assaf’s visit came amid rising tension between Turkey and Saudi Arabia over several issues, including the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Ankara’s alignment with Doha during the Gulf crisis and Riyadh’s support for Egypt’s 2013 coup.

Last month, a leaked document revealed a plan drawn up by Saudi Arabia and the UAE aimed at weakening the Turkish government, overthrowing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and igniting internal crises in Turkey.

According to Middle East Eye, the plan aimed to use all possible tools to pressure and weaken Erdogan’s government and keep him busy with domestic issues in the hope that the opposition will overthrow or distract him by evoking repeated crises.

According to reports carried by Cypriot and Saudi media, the two sides, Saudi Arabia and Cyprus, held talks covering bilateral relations and the Cyprus issue.

The same reports added that Al-Assaf expressed his country’s desire to “improve relations with South Cyprus because of its geographical location, and years of long-standing dialogue with the Arab world, in addition to being a member of the European Union.”

Turkish media attacked the Saudi foreign minister for Riyadh’s support for Nicosia’s position against Ankara. AHABER TV described such statement, in a report published on its website, as “shameless.”

The TV channel quoted Al-Assaf saying: “The Saudi Kingdom stands with our ally, the Cypriot President, against Turkey’s illegal activities in the Mediterranean.”

The channel pointed out also that the minister’s statements are in harmony with the European and US position on the issue of gas exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided between a Turkish part in the north and a Greek part in the south.

The unilaterally proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognised only by Turkey as a sovereign state, has not won international recognition.

Cyprus has been a member of the European Union and says the north has been under illegal occupation since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974.

Tensions between the two parts increased as natural gas deposits were discovered in the water zone between Cyprus and Israel.

Turkish Cypriots accused the Cypriot government of acting unilaterally by inviting companies to explore in the region, saying that they want to have a share in the profits of any gas production. But, the Cypriot government rejected the idea.

Turkish Cypriots said that their first choice is to negotiate with the Greek Cypriots on the island’s unification; however, after decades of inaction, such a situation cannot last forever.

Safavid Ottoman rivalry, you're a Safavid

You are a lizard eater.

That didn't make sense, right ? And no one has the right to intervene in Iranian Turkish affairs.

BTW, Iran and Turkey share the most oldest border in the world since the battle of Chaldiran.

Right to interfere in affairs, since when is that a thing

 

[Philip the Arab]

Arabs are acting against our interests. I have no sympathies for them and taxpayers money shouldn't be wasted on displaying Arabs who are getting bodied by Israelis.

Then don't vote for AKP.

 

[ArabianEmpires&Caliphates]

Cyprus is part of the Greek civilization and Arabs and Greeks respect each others civilizations and there have been mutual influences for millennia. Geographic proximity and genetic closeness as well. Arabs ruled Cyprus, Crete and other areas of Greece. Greeks are not enemies of Arabs and I welcome the increasing ties on all fronts.

Arabs at it again why am I not surprised.

Lets be honest the Arabs dont really care about the Muslims that were killed by Orthodog Christians and the Muslims killed by Hindus.

Because you know why because they are not Arabs.

Tell any Arabs about history and why Turks have a bad history with Greeks a lot of them dont give a shit. When it comes to striving for the Ummah the Arabs are doing nothing today.

Pakistan and Turkey does more for the Islamic World than the Arabs.

Actually the dogs are the osmanli scums who invaded the lands of orthodox and got what they deserved but you still crying even though you are the aggressors here

 

[ZAC1]

That's very strange, Saudi Arabia is the most gernerou country to Pakistan and always helpes you in difficult times, We see little if no assistance provided by Turkey while you want to attack Saudi Arabia... it just doesn't make any sense of of kind.

KSA has made muslim countries situation more miserable by starting proxies in their countries. they never lead this ummah. there are 57 muslim countries.if each one prince takes responsibility of one muslim country that country dnt even need to earn a single penny r take any loan. USA, Britain, french are KSAs masters. who made them king.? go n read histroy. n u talk about assistance ask ur elders,before oil was discovered in that region, all these arab use to come in subcontinent for help, charity n we always helped.
