- This is how the invasion of Cyprus took place"! The confession of the Turkish general M. Demirel:
Here is Demirel's diary.
"On the morning of July 16, the mobilization of the 39th Division began.
The battle team of the 50th Infantry Regiment would first land in Cyprus.
Between July 15-19, the streets of Mersina, Adana, Alexandroupolis, Osmaniye and Maras were full of our units.
The units were preparing day and night and loading supplies.
On July 16, in the afternoon, a secret meeting was held in the office of the commander in the staff of the Adana army corps. It was chaired by General Esref Akinci, the commander of the ground forces.
It was secretly determined that the day of the landing would be July 20th.
The 11-year landing plan could now be carried out.
However, it was considered final that the 39th Division would land in Cyprus.
Basically the 39th Division was not considered ready by any means to wage an offshore war.
There were some shortages in terms of personnel, armaments and necessary means.
The detachments, which were forced to remain in the guards and camps, reduced the real strength of the units.
This situation created a significant gap in the 39th Division.
When it was finalized that the 39th Division would leave in groups for Mersina and Alata and then land in Cyprus, some people began to be overwhelmed by serious worries and fears.
Some officers, non-commissioned officers and hoplites were so frightened that they could not comprehend the orders.
There were staff who came to Mersina, without thoroughly taking the individual dependence.
The cars were loaded with things useless for war.
These were just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use.
Most of what was not needed was disposed of.
The vehicles were mainly loaded with water, fuel, ammunition and food.
The day of the landing was kept secret.
The units could wait for months as in previous exercises as well as in 1967….
It was considered beneficial as the commanders make short speeches to boost morale in the camps upon departure.
"I made such a speech to a crowd of officers in Alata's grove."
"WE KNEW THE ENEMY"
"We knew the training of enemy units compared to us, as well as in terms of armaments and equipment, they were impossible.
We heard from militant officers who served in Cyprus that the old Russian T-34 tanks they had
when they were training were on the road.
Some of our plans provided some facilities for raids and cooperation in Morphou and Famagusta.
As a result of the coup, E.F. was distributed throughout the island.
Especially in the landing areas (by sea and air) they were abandoned by the Greek Cypriots.
Among the Greek Cypriot forces were supporters and non-supporters of the coup.
Our greatest concern was the failure of the first wave of our amphibious forces and the intervention of the enemy air and naval forces.
The E.F. had no strong air force and navy.
But it could be strengthened by Greece.
The Greek air and naval forces could have arrived in Cyprus before.
None of what we feared happened.
But in part we were right about these fears.
"Thus, due to the low resistance of the enemy on land and especially in the coastal strip, the Camkak brigade, with an order sent to the 2nd Army and then to the 6th Army Corps, remained in the coastal strip."
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE ATTACK
After the meeting at 9.00 in the evening I returned to Dikomo to give the orders of the attack.
Around midnight, after I got in the administrative vehicle, I tried to sleep.
"Victory" meant attack and "foundation" meant waiting.
I could not sleep.
I could not know how the difficult days would develop.
Definitely, the attack would be successful.
I had no doubt about that.
But the real problem was the lightning speed of the attack and how to make a few losses.
How many would be killed in the attack? Maybe everyone was thinking that.What would happen in the battles of the next day?
The warriors at the front would think more of themselves, their children, their wives and their parents, who left in their homes and could not sleep.
In the meantime, two hours passed.
I sweated lightly.
It was not from the heat, but from the agony of the attack, which would begin at dawn.
I heard a knock on the vehicle door. I got up.The chief of staff said in a low voice the slogan "attack".
I got dressed and took my gun.
The time was 4.40 am. "
The Turkish general came out to the observatory at exactly 5.30.
"Suddenly the sky roared.
Our planes had arrived.
They attacked important targets in Nicosia in pairs and sank behind the English hill.
At 6.30 the Artillery of our Division started firing.
Once there were explosions, bigger than thunder.I saw the great upheaval that prevailed in the positions of the enemy.
The attack had begun… "
The motto for the next day was "Victory or foundation". - Розваги
Studying the photographs from the battle of Cyprus in 1974 I came to the following conclusions
- The Greek Cypriot side disarmed Cyprus in 1967 by sending 10 thousand Greek army with tanks and artillery back to Greece - If there was this army in Cyprus, the Turks would not have dared to invade Cyprus in 74.
The Greek force of 10 thousand men was secretly sent by George Papandreou to Cyprus in 1965.
- It is clear from the photos that the Greek Cypriot army was a militia with antiquated tanks and weapons of the second world war in an overpowered Turkish army.
Despite this, the Greek militia fought bravely and held back the Turkish army, waiting for help from Greece, which never arrived! The betrayal had been completed by the Greek junta and later the democrasy!
The Turks carried out murders of civilians as well as captured soldiers, rape, looting of property and destruction of cultural monuments, i.e. they recalled their old selves in the occupation of Anatolia and Constantinople by the Byzantine Empire
Very well sayed .!
Unfortunately, the Turkeys invation ,been successed ,mainly by the Greeks mistakes .
Right after that illegal coop against the loyal government of the island.
The people, that controlled the logal arm forces .
Even IF
.....they had all the informations about the Turkeys preparations for the invation, right from the next day .
... they knew about the Turkeys fleet, was on it's way for the island.
....they knew, that the invading troops ,/ fleet ..was outside the Kyrenias coasts.
They NEVER take a single measure.
A single alert.
They let us, had a strategic surprise.
Turkeys air force ,bombed actually our major army units, in their camps, on their morning sleep.The invasion was happening on 5.20 , and the National guard, started to react on 8.30 ..
Ridiculous but so true !

Thanks to Turkish soldiers, thanks to Bulent Ecevit, Turkish Cypriots have been saved from ethnic cleaning and genocide. Thanks to my grandfather as well , he was a commando in Cyprus war.
Well..
The Turkish Cypriots was NEVER in such a danger..!
.." ethnic cleansing "..//..Genocide "..!
Those are the lies of your leaders..!
Actually , of what happened, unfortunately against my country Cyprus on 1974 ..! was a SET UP war, against us Cypriots to lose .!
..is almost the similar excuse ,the Russians are used today against Ukraine.!
The same story ..!

@@hp3rtv Why are you delusional. Get a history book ( from any other nation in the world just not a Turkish one and you will see Greeks settled on Cyprus when Turks were 1000 miles east still not opinion it's fact)
You invade and still others homes a war crime Erdo even admits it as he accuses Israel of the same thing. Not opinion but fact.
In fact most Turkish Cypriots are from Greek descent that is a recognised fact by most Turkish Cypriots they are known a linobambaki ( or something like that) and converted to Islam to avoid taxes a fact not disputed.
If indeed you have suffered as you claim then I would say if I WAS BEHIND YOU I WOULD TOLD THE OFFICIAL TO F OFF ON OUR HEHALF and to be honest some of these types are rude to Greeks also they polite to tourist but treat their own like Shit.
BTW re the free health care quote from the lancet
"Since April, 2003, when crossings along the so-called Green Line dividing the northern and southern parts of the island were partially relaxed, more and more Turkish Cypriots have been seeking care in the south. As a goodwill gesture to the north, the Republic’s government has been offering all Turkish Cypriots who prove they are of Cypriot nationality free medical care, despite the fact that they do not pay social insurance or taxes to the south."
Stop with the hate learn from past mistakes and move on for a better world.
You say an undivided island did not work you are right but why did it not work there is more to it than just EOKA and ENOSIS leave emotion out and learn what really happened.
You know what I did I went and read up from the Turkish perspective maybe you should read up on thee Greek perspective put your feet on the others shoes
In 1974, they gave the necessary lesson against the Greeks who killed the Turkish civilian population without saying women and children. Currently, the date is 2022 and we will not hesitate to teach the same course if necessary. We are ready and waiting.
@@LondonPower We taught you biggest lesson anyway by conquering your people for 400 years and taking Anatolia with Constantinople and turning Hagia Sophia into a Mosque!!!!!

Plus Turkey did not care about "turkish cypriots", even if there was none on the island they would invent them in order to occupy a strategic piece of foreign land.

"In Anatolia, a relevant DNA research was done and it turned out that they are to a very large extent Indo-European. Do not forget that they are the heirs of Byzantium. And that's why there were many marriages during Ottoman times. I mean, they mixed a lot. For this reason they are Muslim Romans."
"Why does the Turkish state want to hide that the people of Anatolia had largely Greco-Roman roots? What was the reason for this secret? Why is he afraid? Why do they carefully hide the Greek origin of the Turkish-speaking masses who were converted to Islam also due to linguistic assimilation?"
The above was already written in the 12th century by the daughter of Emperor Alexios Komnenos, Anna Komneni, in "Alexiada" where she mentioned that the so-called Turks of the Asia Minor coasts were all Greek speakers.
"ındo-European" is NOT a genetic grouping. Typical occidental dunning-krugerism at its finest. Anyway Is that how you cope we COLONIZED your white bros for half a millenium?

An incredible confession, full of hate, of a Turkish Cypriot who killed Greek Cypriot prisoners in 1974 is making the rounds on the internet and is shocking.
The 84-year-old Turkish Cypriot, former member of the TMT, confesses to his action in 1974 as an officer in the area of Mesaria.
During his live broadcast interview, the Turkish Cypriot allegedly bragged about killing Greek Cypriot prisoners, according to tourkika nea.
According to tourkika nea, the then 84-year-old Turkish Cypriot reportedly stated that: "I 'arranged' the captured Gyauri who were brought there."
"My intention was to clean them all," he says characteristically according to Turkish news.
The journalist who interviews him, surprised, asks him:
"When you were killing unarmed defenseless innocent people, how did you do it looking them in the eye?"
Asked to answer according to the same publication, he reportedly said:
"And they did a lot. Even if they were innocent, how could I find those who did them?'
“Killing was my art. When the army came to our village I accompanied them to the nose of Karpasia. I was very happy." the Turkish Cypriot is reported to say.
The continuation of the 84-year-old's statements is said to be shocking, according to the same publication:
"When I approached the nose, I saw that many Greek Cypriot prisoners were sitting there. My intention was to clear them all. Some who realized this, informed their officer. A Turkish officer told me that "If you move away from me I will shoot you". I had to stay by his side. I was burning that they got away from me"
Unfortunately.
