Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay on Tuesday commemorated the 364 turkish Cypriots who lost their lives in the Bloody Christmas attacks initiated by the terrorist organization EOKA militants against the Turkish Cypriots on December 21, 1963.

“The Greek Cypriot terrorist organization EOKA unleashed brutal attacks against Turkish Cypriots 58 years ago today. I remember with respect all our martyrs who were killed during that period,” Oktay tweeted.
