| Turkish flag in Cyprus |
NE MUTLU TURKUM DIYENE generally translates to "Proud is he who calls himself a Turk" and this phrase is sometimes referred to as the national slogan of Turkey. It is one such motto. Turkish people have other mottos such as " Sovereignty rests unconditionally with the nation ", and " Peace in the homeland, peace in the world ".
Cyprus has been for generations a political hotspot battled between Greek nationalists and Turkish nationalists.
There are at least two mountains around Kaimakli that have the Turkish flag carved into them.
Search Kaimakli on Wikipedia and you get this...
Buyuk Kaimakli is a large North Eastern suburb located within the municipality of Nicosia since 1968 and borders the Green Line which divides the Capital between the Government controlled Greek areas and Turkish occupied suburb of Omorphita ( Kucuk Kaimakli ) . The population of the area was 10864 in 2001.
Northern Cyprus, or Kuzey Kibris in Turkish, is known officially as TRNC or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Kuzey Kibris was made a de facto independent republic in 1983 but this recognition is only respected by Turkish authorities. The Turk military sieged the north when the Greek Cypriots from the south tried to annex the island to Greece.
