Air of Unease

Ottoman POV

The protest had started peacefully, with a group of Greek Cypriots marching through the streets, chanting slogans and holding up signs. But as the crowd grew larger and more agitated, things quickly spiraled out of control. The fact that Sultan Orhan II was visitng North Cyprus during that time made it even more serious.
The Ottoman armed forces guarding the checkpoints had been called in to maintain order, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of protesters. The air was thick with tension as the protesters began to push against the barricades, shouting insults and throwing objects at the soldiers.

"Get ready with the tear gas," Liuetenant Kemal Gedik shouted to his officers, his voice barely audible over the roar of the crowd. "We need to disperse them before things get even more out of hand."

As the tear gas canisters were fired into the crowd of Greek protesters, chaos erupted. People screamed and ran in all directions, their eyes watering and their throats burning. The soldiers moved in with batons, trying to push back the protesters and restore order.

"Stay together, keep moving forward!" another soldier yelled, trying to rally his team as they struggled to contain the rioting crowd. "We need to get control of this situation before it gets any worse."

Despite their best efforts, the protesters continued to resist, throwing rocks and bottles at the soldiers and refusing to back down. It was a tense standoff between those fighting for their cause and those tasked with enforcing the law.

After the Ottoman Security forces had exhausted all the possibilities, some of the soldiers started shooting up into the air trying to scare the protesters. Suddenly, someone shouted that the Greeks were shooting at the Ottoman positions. The soldiers had to respond.

As they stood amidst the wreckage of broken barricades and scattered debris, they knew that this would not be the last time they would have to face such a volatile situation. The goverment of Greece-Cyprus considers the rightful Turkish land as theirs.
