Turkey on Sunday criticized the upcoming TV series, "Famagusta", set to be broadcast on a digital platform, saying it serves the propaganda of the Greek Cypriot administration by "distorting historical facts".
In a statement to X, the Foreign Office expressed strong disapproval of the series, which it said "misrepresents" the events of 1963-74.
"This series constitutes a gross disrespect to the sacred memories of the Turkish Cypriots who were massacred by the bloodthirsty Greek Cypriot mobs between 1963-74," the statement said.
"These kinds of futile attempts to present the facts differently than they are only strengthen our resolve to fight for our national cause, the Cyprus issue," he added.
The island of Cyprus has been mired in a decades-long dispute between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, despite a series of diplomatic efforts to reach a comprehensive settlement.
Ethnic attacks that began in the early 1960s forced Turkish Cypriots to retreat to enclaves for their own safety.
In 1974, a Greek Cypriot coup aimed at annexation of the island by Greece led to Turkey's military intervention as a guarantor power to protect Turkish Cypriots from persecution and violence. As a result, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) was established in 1983.
The Greek Cypriot administration was admitted to the EU in 2004, the same year Greek Cypriots blocked a UN plan to end the long-running dispute.
