NPOV

I know that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and given my views favoring the TRNC, writing further would probably be regarded as blatant POV. However, if someone can add factual data in such a way to maintain NPOV, then please do so. The disputeCyprus issue is not an easy one to 'sit on the fence', so if anybody can do so, then good luck.

Your ideas are incredibly POV. Expect this article to be equalized in a few days.

I hope so. Also, citation needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.240.4.1 (talk) 10:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so shouldn't this be classified under terrorist organisation or something? Soathana (talk) 11:44, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wolf

Baris you just reverted the sources. Have a look at AVRUPA and please explain what the wolf stands for then Aristovouλos ^(T) 18:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From Here, http://www.doguturkistan.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=964

please translate:

Türk Milleti’ni simgeleyen BOZKURT’u sembol alan TMT; Kıbrıs’ın Türk kalma ve Kıbrıs Türkü’nün var olma mücadelesinde Türk Milleti’ne karşı tarihsel sorumluluğunu başarıyla yerine getirir... Tıpkı “örgütlenmesini” daha önceleri Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli’nin dergahından çıkarak “Anadolu’da tecrübe” etmiş gibi... Sanki Hz. Türkistan Ahmet YESEVİ’nin ocağından geldiğini ispatlar gibi... TMT’nin kurutulmuş oğlak etiyle beslenen Bozkurtlar’ı, Kuvay-ı Milliye’nin dipdiri ayakta olduğunu gösterir gibiydiler...

Look dude. The web-site's name doguturkistan.net translates into "eastturkistan.net" - East Turkistan is in China. Extremist web-sites cannot be cited to give the impression that it is a hundred percent confirmed fact. All I am saying is that it would be better if we could use some impartial books on the Cyprus issue as sources. Eastturkistan.net has nothing to do with this, they could be simply trying to "recuparate" political points by connecting itself with TMT. I am not saying they did or didn't use any particular symbol, but you cannot simply say "ultra-nationalist pan-turkist" where as the EOKA-B article, an organization that was recognized as terrorist not only by TR but also UK, has this for the intro "EOKA-B was a Greek Cypriot right-wing pro-enosis paramilitary organisation formed in 1971 that ..." See the difference in tone? That's all.. Baristarim 18:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to rewrite the intro, will try to contact other users for a restructuring of the article and creation of "background, organization, acts, timeline and aftermath" sections. Baristarim 19:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Tmt.jpg

Image:Tmt.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nihat İlhan

Claims such as this about the incident involving Nihat İlhan should under no circumstances be re-inserted to this page as it constitutes a severe violation of WP:BLP. Quoting from the policy, "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion", and a claim that originates from a journalist with "an interview with journalist Ahmet Baran" is hearsay and by no means a reliable and authoritative source, and such extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources to merit inclusion. Who is Ahmet Baran, how did he come to know about this and what is his degree of investigation/involvement with the incident? If this was a claim that was made in a number of publications from respected publishing houses with a solid justification, only then it could be included in the article. It does not matter if any other people repeat the same claims, inserting an unsubstantiated claim that a living person committed such an act is out of question, unless the case is as stated above. It must be noted that this is also a very sensitive topic and bringing such claims without due grounds also brings about issues of undue weight. Please do not re-instate the content. --GGT (talk) 15:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rauf Denktas and Zafer Kibrisli Turkeridir

On 13 September 2014, @HelSpenser: added two paragraphs[1]- his only contribution to en.Wikipedia so far. The first paragaph states something incorrect. I can't verify what is said in the second paragraph and I would kindly ask if someone could offer some help.

At the first paragraph, is stated that R. Denktas admitts that TMT was responsible for the bomb, even though he never mentions TMT. Instead he names a friend, whose name won't reviel that placed the bomb. Most probable he was a member of TMT but that is just my assumtion. Denktas was clever enough not to blame the TMT.
At the second paragraph, an article in an unknown -at least to me-Turkish Cypriot newspaper is cited . I have never heard of it before, and if someone could do some backround check, I 'd appriciate.Τζερόνυμο (talk) 10:59, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your attention. You are absolutely right - in addition, we have to consider WP:PRIMARY as well. We cannot have a YouTube video as a source for such a topic, at least a newspaper article or preferably an academic source is required. This topic is covered by a couple of other sources, although none definitively implicate the TMT - see the article on Bayraktar Mosque.
There is no newspaper called "Zafer Kıbrıslı Türklerindir". There was one called "Zafer" published in the period [2]. However, I don't think that "Zafer Kıbrıslı Türklerindir" is an alternative name for that. Furthermore, considering the political environment at the time, I find the supposed headline very improbable and the whole statement very dubious; it has been tagged to request verification for some time now anyway. Questions of WP:PRIMARY apply anyway - such murders can and should be described using better sources. As such, it would be more appropriate for this sentence to be removed or replaced. --GGT (talk) 00:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"In Reality No One Was Asleep" by Ismael Tansu

Why is there no mention here of one of the most important sources on the history of the TMT--the book by Ismael Tansu. Tansu worked for the STK (Seferberlik Taktik Kurulu [Tactical Mobilization Committee]) in Turkey, under Brigadier General Daniş Karabelen. In his book he describes how he created the "Plan for Recapturing Cyprus" [Kıbrıs İstirdat Planı] which involved the creation of a “special warfare” organisation that would utilise the Turkish Cypriot population of Cyprus, but be led by Turkish army officers. (See Ismail Tansu, In Reality No One Was Asleep: A Secret Underground Organization, with State Support? TMT, translated by Ayhan Sutcuoglu [Afghanistan, n.d.]. Turkish Edition: Aslnda hic kimse uyumuyordu: TMT [Ankara 2001].) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nychtopouli (talk • contribs) 11:46, 16 November 2019 (UTC) Nychtopouli (talk) 11:49, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
