مستخلص: The COVID-19 pandemic has hit many regions, including the Eastern Mediterranean. It has profoundly affected Cypriot communities and caused political, economic, and social consequences. The profile article aims to investigate the relationship between the pandemic threat on the island and decisions made by the Greek and Turkish Cypriot administrations. What aspects and to what extent has the pandemic affected relations between the two Cypriot communities? How have these changes influenced the bilateral dialogue and political decisions made by the Greek and Turkish Cypriot administrations? Is the pandemic conducive to developing cooperation, or does it extend existing divisions? The profile article argues a relationship between the emergence of the pandemic and the re-isolation of both Cypriot communities, which is one of its consequences, and the initiatives to resolve the Cypriot conflict by sanctioning the existence of two independent states. Such a change is noticeable, especially in the Turkish Cypriots, owing to the presidential election, the government crisis, and interference by Turkish authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: This article discusses the confrontation between Greeks of Cyprus (GoC) and Turks of Cyprus (ToC) in the Legislative Council of Cyprus regarding the issue of the Enosis (Union) and the changes of content since 1902. The question arises, yet to a limited extent, during the period 1902–1914, given the formal subordination of Cyprus to the Ottoman Empire. From 1915 to 1918, due to the placement of the Ottoman Empire on the side of Britain's opponents and the participation of Greece within the Entente front, the Greek pressure on the British became very intense, while the Turkish were in a defensive position. In the period from 1918 to 1930, the main argument of the ToC was that even Greece no longer raised the issue of Enosis. Finally, in 1931, the GoC raised the issue urgently facing the strong reaction both of the ToC, as well as the British. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: This paper focuses on the Dawn Watch commemoration in northern Cyprus that has been organised since 2010 to mark the anniversary of Turkey's military operation/invasion on 20 July 1974. I argue that the Dawn Watch utilises the innovative ritual practice of 'keeping watch' to subjectivise participating Turkish Cypriots as the 'guards/watchmen' who have made Turkey's military presence in Cyprus possible. This novel commemoration seeks to address growing disinterest in Turkish nationalist narratives and commemorations in northern Cyprus, which conventionally reduce Turkish Cypriots to historically unimportant figures who were merely 'liberated' by Turkey. By adopting the innovative ritual practice of 'keeping watch', the Dawn Watch provides participants with a new way of participating in an old nationalist narrative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: This study offers an alternative perspective for examining the rise of Turkish nationalism in the Eastern Mediterranean in relation to cinema culture within the political and historical contexts of Cyprus. The cinema business and its practices had their golden age in the 1950s through the distribution of Turkish films from Turkey and the increasing number of movie theatres in Turkish Cypriot neighbourhoods. This period was also crucial in terms of political developments on the island due to the drastic rise in ethnic and national divisions. Drawing on archival research and oral history; this article aims to examine how Turkish nationalism was provided with the ideal conditions to grow rapidly at Cypriot cinemas and how multi-communal cinemagoing experiences of the early 1950s had transformed into nationally divided Cypriot audiences during the last years of British colonial rule in Cyprus.

مستخلص: Whole-exome DNA sequencing is a rich source of clinically useful information for specialists, patients, and their families, as well as elucidating the genetic basis of monogenic and complex diseases in clinical diagnosis. However, interpreting and reporting variants encompassing exome and genome sequence analysis outcome data are one of the greatest challenges of the genomic era. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency and allele frequency spectrum of single nucleotide variants accepted as recessive disease carrier status in Turkish Cypriot exomes. The same sequencing platform and data processing line were used for the analysis of data from 100 Turkish Cypriot whole-exome sequence analysis. Identified variants were classified according to ACMG guidelines, and pathogenic variants were confirmed in other databases such as ClinVar, HGMD, Varsome, etc. Pathogenic variants were detected in 68 genes out of 100 whole-exome sequence data. The carriage rate was the highest in the CYP21A2 gene, causing 21-hydroxylase deficiency (14.70%), 11.76% in the HBB gene causing β-thalassemia, 10.29% in the BTD gene causing biotinidase deficiency, 8.82% in the CFTR gene causing cystic fibrosis, 8.82% in the RBM8A gene causing thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome, which is an ultra-rare disease, and 5.88% in the GAA gene causing glycogen storage disease II. The carriage of pathogenic variants in other genes causing the disease (GJB2, PAH, GALC, CYP11B2, COL4A3, HBA1, etc.) was determined as less than 5.00%. Also, the identified variations in the mentioned gene within the examined population were reported. The most prevalent mutation in North Cyprus was a missense variant (c.1360 C>T, p.Pro454Ser) detected in the CYP21A2 gene (rs6445), and the most frequently seen variant in the HBB gene was c.93-21G>A (rs35004220). We investigated reported pathogenic variants by estimating the lower and upper limits of carrier and population frequencies for autosomal recessive diseases, for which exome sequencing may reveal additional medically relevant information. Determining the lower and upper limits of these frequencies will shed light on preventive medicine practices and governmental actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات جغرافية: CYPRUS

مستخلص: This research analyses the construction of childhood in three children's books related to the Cyprus Problem through the lens of Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory. The discourse on childhood, deployed in books whose narratives are related to an armed conflict, is seen to have four nodal points: innocence, citizenship, savagery, and otherness. Our discourse-theoretical analysis, which uses a retroductive approach (Glynos and Howarth), demonstrates that in these three children's books, the nodal points of innocence and citizenship are particularly strong, but all four nodal points are present. The analysis also shows how these nodal points intersect with the discourses of victimhood and militarism, which alter the articulation of the childhood discourse itself and produce significant internal tensions. These alterations and tensions demonstrate the deeply political nature of the childhood discourse at times of war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

الملخص (بالإنجليزية): The Cyprus Question, which Türkiye treats as a national cause and which many states attach importance to as an international problem, has so far been an extensively studied topic in the literature with its different dimensions. Within these dimensions, the official Greek Cypriot propaganda carried out during the cleavage among Greek Cypriots in the process leading to the 15 July 1974 coup d'état has not been adequately addressed. This study aims to contribute to the literature by addressing this point. The study examines the new propaganda of the Greek Cypriot leader Archbishop Makarios, who had to change tactics and put the Enosis propaganda in the background in order not to attract the reaction of Türkiye in 1967, and the way this propaganda treated the anti-Makarios armed Greek Cypriot groups that accused their leader as being a "traitor to the national cause". The study benefited from the official archives of Cyprus, United Kingdom and the USA, and the Turkish and Greek Cypriot newspapers of the period, and followed a historical and qualitative document analysis method. The main finding of the study is that Makarios separated the fanatical groups who opposed him from the rest of the Greek Cypriot community by accusing them of "serving partition, not Enosis". Makarios was aware that Türkiye's patience had reached the breaking point due to the violence against Turkish Cypriots during the 1963-1967 period. The continuation of these provocations would push Türkiye to intervene militarily. According to the Greek Cypriot leader, a "reasonable" citizen was the one who did not get impatient for the Enosis and did not provoke Türkiye. Thus, terrorists who did not fit this mold were "unreasonable". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Turkish): Türkiye'nin milli dava olarak ele aldığı, pek çok devletin ise uluslararası bir sorun olarak önem atfettikleri Kıbrıs Sorunu literatürde farklı boyutlarıyla yoğun şekilde çalışılmış bir konudur. Bu boyutlar içerisinde, 15 Temmuz 1974 darbesine giden süreçte Kıbrıslı Rumların kendi aralarındaki ayrışma süresince yürütülen resmi Rum propagandası yeterince ele alınmış değildir. Bu çalışma, bu noktayı ele alarak literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, 1967 yılında Türkiye'nin tepkisini çekmemek için taktik değiştirmek ve Enosis propagandasını ikinci plana düşürmek zorunda kalan Rum lider Başpiskopos Makarios'un yeni propagandasını ve bu propaganda içerisinde kendisine "Enosis davasını yüzüstü bırakmak" suçlamasıyla muhalefet eden silahlı Rumların konumunu mercek altına almaktadır. Çalışma Güney Kıbrıs, İngiltere ve ABD'nin resmi arşivlerinden ve dönemin Türk ve Rum gazetelerinden yararlanmış, tarihsel ve nitel bir belge analizi yöntemi izlemiştir. Çalışmanın temel bulgusu, Makarios'un Rum toplumunda kendisine muhalif fanatik kesimleri "Enosis'e değil adanın bölünmesine hizmet etmekle" suçlayarak toplumun geri kalanından ayrıştırdığıdır. Makarios 1963-1967 döneminde Kıbrıslı Türklere uygulanan şiddet nedeniyle Türkiye'nin sabrının taşma noktasına geldiğinin farkındadır. Benzeri tahriklerin devamı Türkiye'yi askeri müdahalede bulunmaya itecektir. Rum liderin 1967 sonrasında sistematik olarak kullandığı propaganda dilinde "makul" vatandaş Enosis'in gerçekleşmesi için sabırsızlığa kapılmayan ve Türkiye'yi tahrik etmeyen vatandaştır. Dolayısıyla, bu kalıba uymayan silahlı muhalifler "makul olmayanlardır". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

الملخص (بالإنجليزية): The relations of states, which are one of the most fundamental actors in international relations, are established within the framework of international law. One of the most important issues of international law is that states officially recognize each other and conduct the relationship through this recognition. In this context, recognition is one of the most important issues of interstate relations. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has also declared its independence since 1983 and has become the subject of international relations as a state. However, the state structure in which the Turkish Cypriots fulfilled all its elements has not been officially recognized by other states apart from Turkey since then. After the establishment of the Organization of Turkish States, it continues to work towards becoming one of the most important international organizations of the Turkish world. The fact that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has been officially admitted to the Organization of Turkish States as an observer since 2022 has been a turning point in terms of recognition in terms of international law and maintaining its existence in a strong way. In the study, the membership of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the Organization of Turkish States will be discussed and analyzed within the scope of international law. The aim of the study is to reveal that the admission of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the Organization of Turkish States as an observer is a very important development in the way of recognition within the scope of international law.

Abstract (Turkish): Uluslararası ilişkilerde en temel aktörlerden biri olan devletlerin ilişkileri uluslararası hukuk çerçevesinde kurulmaktadır. Uluslararası hukukun en önemli konularından biri devletlerin resmi olarak birbirini tanıması ve ilişkiyi bu tanınma üzerinden yürütmesidir. Tanınma bu kapsamda devletlerarası ilişkilerin en önemli konularından biridir. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti de 1983 yılından itibaren bağımsızlığını ilan ederek devlet olarak uluslararası ilişkilerin öznesi olmuştur. Ancak Kıbrıslı Türklerin tüm unsurlarını yerine getirdiği devlet yapısı o günden bugüne Türkiye dışında diğer devletler açısından resmi olarak tanınmamıştır. Türk Devletleri Teşkilatının tam olarak kurulması sonrasında Türk dünyasının en önemli uluslararası örgütlerinden biri olma yolunda çalışmaları devam etmektedir. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'nin ise 2022 yılından itibaren kendi adı ile resmi olarak Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı'na gözlemci statüsünde kabul edilmesi uluslararası hukuk açısından tanınma ve varlığını güçlü bir biçimde devam ettirme konusunda bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. Çalışmada uluslararası hukuk kapsamında Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'nin Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı'na üyeliği ele alınarak, analiz edilecektir. Çalışmanın amacı Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'nin Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı'na gözlemci olarak kabul edilmesinin tanınma yolunda alınmış çok önemli bir gelişme olduğunu uluslararası hukuk kapsamında ortaya koymaktır.

مصطلحات موضوعية: TURKISH Cypriots, TURKS, GREEK Cypriots, EQUAL rights, INTERNATIONAL law

مصطلحات جغرافية: CYPRUS

الملخص (بالإنجليزية): This article examines the rationale behind the Turkish Cypriot position on the Two-State solution in Cyprus. The analysis consists of three interrelated parts. Initially, the question of whether Turkish Cypriots are entitled to 'peoplehood' that can exercise the right of self-determination according to international law is discussed. This is followed by evaluating the reasons driving the Turkish Cypriot side to exercise the right of self-determination and whether Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) fulfills the criteria for statehood. In accordance with arguments carried out in the previous sections, the final part delves into the reasons for the Turkish Cypriot position on the Two-State solution in Cyprus in detail. It is argued that Turkish Cypriot people possess all of the attributes of statehood and are entitled to the same rights and status as the Greek Cypriot side currently exercises. Therefore, reinstating Turkish Cypriot people's rights by reaffirming their sovereign equality and equal international status is necessary for a just and sustainable settlement in Cyprus.

Abstract (Turkish): Bu makale, Kıbrıs'ta iki devletli çözüme ilişkin yeni Kıbrıs Türk pozisyonunun gerekçelerini incelemektedir. Makale, birbiriyle ilişikli üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Öncelikle, Kıbrıslı Türklerin uluslararası hukuka göre kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkına sahip bir halk olup olmadığı tartışılmıştır. İkinci bölümde, Kıbrıs Türk halkını kendi kaderini tayin hakkını kullanmaya iten nedenler Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'nin devlet olmanın şartlarını yerine getirip getirmediği tartışmasıyla birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Önceki bölümlerde yapılan tartışmalara uygun olarak, son bölümde Kıbrıs'ta iki devletli çözüme ilişkin Kıbrıs Türk tarafının duruşu detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Kısaca, Kıbrıslı Türklerin devlet olmanın tüm niteliklerine ve Kıbrıs Rum tarafının şu anda kullanmakta olduğu haklara ve statüye sahip oldukları öne sürülmüştür. Bu nedenle, Kıbrıs Türk halkının egemen eşitliğinin ve eşit uluslararası statüsünün teyit edilerek haklarının yeniden tesis edilmesi, Kıbrıs'ta adil ve sürdürülebilir bir çözüm için gereklidir.
