Do I hear the word(s) double-standards?

JPost reports that:
'Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he will travel to Gaza if Israel does not apologize to Turkey for last year's Gaza flotilla raid, Turkish daily Hurriyet reported Wednesday.

Erdogan made the statement while on his way to northern Cyprus where he addressed his intent to strike a peace deal between the Greek and Turkish sides of the island nation, according to the report.'
Did you spot the double-standard? The Prime Minister of Turkey made his remarks on the Israeli/Gaza situation whilst on his way to Northern Cyprus. Just to remind you Northern Cyprus is illegally occupied by Turkey, it is recognised as an independent state by just Turkey. Cyprus is now a member of the EU but the EU will not even call for the illegally taken land to be returned to the legitimate Cypriot government.

Is there no concept of irony in Turkish?

If Russia were to invade Turkey from the rear, I wonder if Greece would help?
