Over the past five years, there has been a rapid increase in foreign interest, particularly from Jews, in the construction sector in KKTC. Observers have revealed that Jews from various nations have been migrating to KKTC, strengthening their presence across different fields.
Amid the Israeli aggression on Gaza, allegations of Jews purchasing strategic locations, large-scale land, and massive buildings in northern KKTC have resurfaced.
Further claims suggest that tens of thousands of Jews, primarily Iranians but also from the UK, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Israel, have made Zionist investments in KKTC.
With a population of 380,000, observers emphasize that 35,000 are Jews, stating that "tens of thousands of acres of land in northern Cyprus are being purchased by intermediaries associated with Israel. Israel seems to be gradually taking control of KKTC, applying a Palestinian model." These allegations have sparked concerns about the establishment of a new Israel on the island.
In response to these allegations, SABAH conducted on-site investigations in the northern regions of KKTC where Jewish settlements are reportedly increasing.
SABAH News Coordinator Abdurrahman Şimşek visited areas densely populated by Jews and conducted examinations. Complaints about foreign-owned lands and the intermediaries involved in land sales are reportedly widespread.
SABAH's research in KKTC continues, revealing the increasing settlement of Jews from various countries and the reality of land acquisitions and massive construction developments. Ultra-rich Jewish businessmen, including those with dual Turkish and Israeli citizenship, are reportedly taking advantage of legal loopholes. The behind-the-scenes interest of Jews in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is becoming more apparent each day.
