Mr Siddiq caused outrage when he told around a hundred British citizens at the Olive Tree Hotel in Çatalköy on June 27 that the second phase of the Turkish Peace Operation in Cyprus – which was commemorated this week – was a “land grab” and likened the situation to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He raised eyebrows by saying that the 1960 Republic of Cyprus Constitution is “no longer in effect”.
