In reality, northern Cyprus has no legitimate interests. It is not a legitimate state or any other kind of legitimate entity. It is illegally occupied land, although the West prefers to pretend that the global jihad does not exist, and that Turkey is a reliable NATO ally with no territorial designs upon neighboring non-Muslim states.

Israel, Greece, and Cyprus Will Collaborate on a Rapid-Response Force
Israel, Greece, and Cyprus share a common enemy, Turkey, that has been projecting its power in the eastern Mediterranean by establishing military outposts in Syria. Turkey has also made large claims about the extent of its own territorial waters, no doubt hoping there is oil and gas under them. Now Israel, which Turkish President Recep […]
Erdogan Praises Pope for His Stance on ‘Palestinians’
Oh, dear. If Recep Tayyip Erdogan praises Pope Leo XIV’s “stance on the Palestinians,” that must mean the pope has adopted a position that the Turkish leader favors. That means forgetting about the 3500-year connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, ignoring the terms of the Mandate for Palestine and the territory […]
Erdogan The Magnificent?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan poses a threat to Israel, and not to Israel only: “A war between Israel and Turkey?,” by Joseph Puder, American Thinker, November 15, 2025: Erdoğan’s Turkey poses a major threat to Israel, far more of a threat than the Islamic Republic of Iran. The existential threat to Israel from Iran is primarily […]
It’s Unclear How Reckless Erdogan Will Be
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, is an Islamist and a megalomaniac. He lives in a presidential palace that he had built for himself; the Ak Saray, or White Palace, has 1,150 rooms. Erdogan has declared that a war between the countries of the Crescent and the Cross may be in the offing, leaving […]

Trump: ‘I’m not allowing Israel to annex the West Bank’
In the same manner that some in the MAGA camp have been arguing that Israel does not own America, America likewise does not own Israel. Israel is a sovereign nation which is doing what it needs to do in order to survive the jihad. It isn’t only about Hamas. It is about the entire jihad […]
Turkey: Mayor of Istanbul seeking ‘democratic transition’ writes letter from jail warning about Erdogan
Last March, Jihad Watch reported that Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu had considerable support in his bid to challenge Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the presidency, but then he was arbitrarily detained on “corruption” suspicions — which are often conjured up against anyone who threatens Erdogan’s authority or leadership. So Imamoglu was arrested, interrogated, jailed, and […]
US makes new deal with Turkey to fast-track weaponry
Jihad Watch has reported extensively on how dangerous Turkey is, and why it should have long ago been thrown out of NATO. The Ankara-DC deal is yet another example of utter naivety of the West, that will backfire in the long run. Islamic supremacists sniff out Western weakness and use it for Sharia expansionism. “Ankara-DC […]
Erdogan: ‘We, as Muslims, will not take a single step back from our rights over East Jerusalem’
Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman revanchism is heating up. One of his supporters is even claiming that Turks hold valid deeds to properties in Jerusalem, dating from the Ottoman era. Behind this is a core element of Islam. Note that Erdogan says that “as Muslims” they will not step back over their supposed right to East Jerusalem. This […]
