Kenan Ayaz: From Cyprus to Kurdistan – The Path of Theophilos' Freedom

The article presents Theophilos Georgiadis, a pioneer in the struggle for the freedom of both Cyprus and Kurdistan. Theophilos is not considered merely a name, but an embodiment of conscience and morality, who transformed pain and tragedy into practical struggle. His journey is linked to the recognition of the common fate of Cypriots and Kurds, characterized by denial, occupation, and resistance. Theophilos perceived the connection between the freedom of peoples and believed that the freedom of Cyprus passes through the mountains of Kurdistan. This phrase is not just a slogan, but an expression of the historical and political reality of the Middle East, where the struggle for freedom in Kurdistan affects the balance of power in the region. The author argues that correctly stating a problem is half the solution, and that understanding the connection between the Cypriot and Kurdish issues is essential for achieving lasting peace in the region. Theophilos, with his dedication to the word of freedom, serves as an example for those who fight for freedom and justice.
