- '1974: Turkish Invasion of Cyprus Captured Up Close'
On This Day 1974, Turkish forces invaded Cyprus by sea and by air.
ITN's Michael Nicholson was at the scene when Turkish paratroopers dropped onto the open plains near Gönyeli, on the road between the capital, Nicosia, and the coastal city of Kyrenia.
Turkey's invasion came five days after the Greek-backed Cypriot coup d'état on 15 July, and led to the partition of Cyprus along the UN-monitored Green Line, which still divides Cyprus between the south and the Turkish-occupied north to this day.

I love how the reporter frequently says invaders to turkish troops while turkey didnt even cared about cyprus from 1923 to 1960's. The matter is that the greeks of the island organized and aimed to unite with greece after ww2, they created an armed group, EOKA and it was basically a terrorist group. attacked turkish population ta gain control of the whole island. all countries doing same thing to protect its people but some unbiased media calls some operations for peace and others for invade.
That's partly true but Turkey ended up capturing 36% of the land and throwing Greek Cypriots out of their homes , if it was not an invasion but a defense then they would just secure the Turkish people from being attacked nothing more but what they actually did was pure invasion.
I could make the Same argument about the expulsion and killing of Greek people during 1964-1965 living in Istanbul for years and being actual neighbours and friends with other Turkish people, if Greece was to "defend" them like you said you did in Cyprus and in the process capture a part of Istanbul for Greece would that also be fair?
Your timeline is way off.
Turkey was a guarantor nation of Cyprus within the years mentioned.

It is not an invasion. Government of Turkiye tried everything to stop Greek assaults on Turkish neighbourhoods in every official way but they failed. Actually this is why mr. reporter and Greek forces surprised because they were thinking Turkiye will accept and let Turkish people suffer. This was a peace operation for Turks.

Not an invasion. At the time, Greeks were slaughtering the Turks in an attempt to drive them out of Cyprus. However, Turkey intervened in the conflict (as a Turkish state) and rescued the Turks.
So the Turks just appeared on Cyprus did they…? Care to explain how Turks originate from Central East Asia but somehow end up all in the way in Anatolia…?
The last time there was intercommunal violence was in 1963 with 364 Turkish Cypriot dead and 174 Greek Cypriot dead. That is also why there was a UN force on the island since 1964.
Turkey did not intervene to save the Turkish Cypriots but used an internal coup against the Cypriot President Makarios as a pretext/excuse for the invasion (1974) since Turkey (along with Britain & Greece) was a guarantor power, this meant that under international law Turkey could intervene to help restore the legal government & constitution.
But instead of assisting the legal government against the coup what did Turkey do? It simply took control of almost half the island and never left even after the coup failed!
This is the reason why the UN marked this intervention as an invasion and under international law has determined that Turkey is an occupying military force. This is also the reason why no country except Turkey acknowledges the TRNC (Turkish Cypriot "government").
An important thing to note is that President Makarios was disliked by both the Greek military Junta but most of all by the USA because he was seen as very pro-soviet, so they wanted him out of office. The USA encouraged the Greek Junta to help stage a coup against him and assured them that neither Britain nor Turkey would intervene (which was a lie).

Yes it was such an invasion that villagers came up to the soldiers in order to help them carry their weapons lmao. Cyprus war was not a black and white war, it was grey.
That is what exactly the Afghans said when The US invaded their country, "save us from the Taliban".
If international community took it seriously and demanded removal of terrorist EOKA government this war was never going to happen! But they kept talking and talking without doing anything while Turkish Cypriots were executed by firing squads so Turkey launched the operation and invaded a small part of the island. It was enough to stop widespread atrocities against Turkish Cypriots but there were still a lot of atrocities and a huge list of missing Turkish Cypriots. The worse now the international community was more worried about Turkish operation than terrorist EOKA government. They again continued talking and talking with doing absolutely nothing to save Turkish Cypriots so Turkey launched second operation and captured 40% of the island which permanently stopped all atrocities. We gave every opportunity for international community to make it right and even warned them many times we would invade Cyprus instead of allowing this to happen but nobody believed nor cared so here we are. Westerners act fair towards us only when we point guns at them then they blame us for being too aggressive...

Wow invasion eh? I'm not turkish but I've never seen an " invasion" where the "invaded" people rush to help the "invading" soldiers and give them water
Good point bro 👍
I thought they were Turks, turkish civilians giving Turkish paratroopers some water
I'm from Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus and i can say that it wasn't necessarily an invasion. Back in the 1950s Turkey, Greece and the UK signed a treaty which gave right such as "if you feel that your people are under attack you have the right to intervene". İn this case the Turkish Cypriots were under attack by the Greeks (Rumlar) because they believe that the island belongs to them ( which i will not comment my opinion about because i believe i would get in trouble somehow). What you are seeing right now is Turkey using it's rights to help the Turkish Cypriots
OfCourse this is the Turkish pov
Rumlar Türklere dokunmasyadı bunlar olmazı

My uncle was flying one of these helicopters during Cyprus operation. The exact number was 91. Turkish command was expecting medium level casualities and losing a part of fleet when passing Beşparmak Mountains, since the area was defended by 300-400 AA guns. It was yet a must to occupy inland roads to block Greek Guard reserves from the coast, for gaining superiority in landing line. Thus they decided to take the risk.
Actually almost all helicopters were hit several times and were full of holes. But none was down, and no one was killed. Thinking similar model guns of Greek Guard successfully downed a Noratlas aircraft by friendly fire and killed 32 Greek commandos from mainland, we know that these guns were no joke. So, these helicopters were very very lucky.
One of his friends also told me his own story to explain how it was a miracle. After dropping the soldiers he asked his superior to close the door, because they cannot take off fast enough to escape when doors are open, and they were under heavy fire. The officer was sitting at the back and he refused to move to open door as he was afraid. There has been a short dispute and the pilot forced him at gunpoint, telling him that as long as they are in the air mission the pilot is the one that gives orders. He could report it if he wished, when once they return to safety, but he better move his ass now. The officer finally got up from his seat and closed the door. When he hastly returned he discovered the huge AA bullet hole on the seat he was sitting just a few seconds ago. They all laughed at it for minutes and their dispute was never reported.
Years later my uncle was present in a NATO meeting as personal assisstant of a high ranked officer who was his close friend of arms from that war, he also wintessed American officers cornered Turks for getting information how the hell they actually came out Başparmak without single casuality, and kept rejecting the "pure luck" explanation.

I was a kid then living in the city of Mersin in Turkey where this operation started from. I could count at least 50 helicopters flying over to Cyprus. There was a hospital in the area and when one of the helicopters landed near the hospital I could not believe how much dust blew over. It was like a giant fan blowing on the dusty field. My father was a cop and he told me the private bus companies carried some the troops from their bases. It was a hot summer day and people were bringing in all kinds of refreshing treats to the soldiers. One of my cousins served on the island and I asked him a number of questions. In short he told me the war wasn't like it was shown in the movies.

During this war I was serving on HMS Hermes, a British commando carrier, with a large helicopter fleet, we were deployed to the Cyprus coast to help rescue tourists and other innocent civilians trying to escape this conflict.
You british with the divide and conquer policy are responsible for that. You have done similar things in India , Ireland etc. Someday you will pay for this.
It looks like that all British served on HBS in CYPRUS at that time, should be proud for there support and cooperation with the Turkish Army, have contributed a great achievements for a successful invasion, in the expense of the CYPRUS guard. I was also serving in the Cyprus guard at the time and we witnessed numerous times that not only the British, but also U.N. soldiers were giving coordinates pin pointing our positions.

The title is completely wrong. This was not an invasion. It was an intervention against the Greeks who were killing defenseless civilians.
Proof?

Turkey legally invaded the country militarily as per the Treaty of Guarantee. It absolutely was an invasion, look at the footage! The troops and materiel didn't suddenly teleport to stationary positions under their control in Cyprus, they physically had to invade the island using their military force. How can this be so difficult to comprehend?!
''Since then, no Turk or Greek has lived without being harmed''
You're saying the exact opposite of what you are trying to say, also you're talking about Cypriots, not ''Turks'' and ''Greeks''. Turks and Greeks only live on the island as immigrants and do not have a Cypriot passport.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 English is not my native language and the meaning may have changed due to some translation errors. Sorry.
I could not find a logical basis in my mind for how a country could be "legally occupied". It was to prevent the Greeks who were there that day from killing defenseless civilians. And the Turkish army did this with the least amount of casualties for both sides.
I kindly ask you to impartially research the massacres committed against unarmed civilians in the villages of Atlılar, Muratağa and Sandallar by the Greek terrorists named EOKA-B on August 14, 1974. Also, research the "Bloody Christmas" massacre committed by the terrorist organization EOKA on December 21, 1963. I would also like you to research the incident committed by the same organization and known in history as the "Bathroom Massacre" or "Beach Massacre". The same house can be visited today under the name of "Barbarism Museum". War means both economic and cultural destruction for countries. No country enters or can enter a war arbitrarily. Everything has a reason and a result. I wish you well-being.

@@andrigeogiou8420 Sounds more like a war propaganda to me, physical enhancing chemicals have never been common among Turkish forces. In addition, for an operation like the one in Cyprus it wouldn't make sense for Turkish govenment to invest money on such drugs since the firepower, size of mobilization and the political stance of nations were more than enough for Türkiye to achieve it's goal, such chemicals only come into play in desperate situation and the Cyprus operation was very far from desperate for Türkiye. And I think you underestimate how much a Türk can feel comfortable in war. When we were still nomads war wasn't some exclusive event or a horrible situation, it was just another tuesday for us. Our culture is shaped by war and conflict thus war is not an unsettling time for us, for us it is our time to shine, it is our time to prove our worth, it is our time to make our nation and families back home proud. We see war as an oppurtunity, not a situation we were unwillingly forced into. When a Türk dies in war, we do not say "We are sorry for their loss.", we say "Vatan Sağolsun." which means "The nation shall live." It is considered a great honor to die in battle in our culture. Before Türks accepted Islam two of the main gods we worshipped were Kyzagan Khan and Alma Khanum, the god and goddess of war. If you were to die in battle by proving your worth it was believed that you'd become one with the gods and goddesses of Turkic culture. I am telling you all these because I want you to have the story and context behind why we can look at the face of death with a smile. It is not drugs, it is just who are and what we are. I want to end with a ancestoral saying of Turks: "Savaş Türk'ün düğünüdür.", meaning "War is the feast of a Türk.".

in the rest two armed vehicles , they said that they found , their crews personal staffs. , including a baggage of " drags .( I have somewhere the copy of one corporal ID )
Anyway, ..I'm not sure about all this also , ..I can understand that propaganda ..theory !
YES,
1974, was a set up war, against us Cypriots to lose it .
It was really a piece of cake for your army this all operation .
The reason was , that , those days , it was a military junta in Greece . and the local, Cypriots army was by 85% controlled by officers from Greece mainland. Following instructions from their leadership in Athens .( junta )..and after that coup they created and done , against our loyal government ( of Cyprus )..of that time .. on the 15 of July ..
Even if they had for the next five days ,all the information's about yours army preparations for the invasion ..
All this army and military equipment , your brought on the coast opposite Cyprus ( Mersin's ! or so )..
The naval fleet ,that was getting ready ..
The invasion fleet, that was outside ..the Kyrenias / Girne coasts ..
For all those five days ..they NEVER took ..a single measure about it ..a single alert .!

The Greek Cypriot EOKA terrorist organization attacked the Turks in the 1960s. They attacked Turkish villages and killed the Turks. In fact, as far as I understand, you are unaware of the existence of Greek gangs who brutally murdered the wife and 3 children of Doctor Major Nihat İlhan, who was in charge of the Turkish Regiment Command, in the bathroom. The Turkish soldier did not go to the island that day because he was bored. It is an operation by the Turkish Armed Forces against Nikos Sampson and his gang, who suspend the 1960 Cyprus constitution by a coup d'etat and do not see the Turks as equal partners of the Cyprus state, for justifiable reasons. In fact, Greek Cypriots and Greece should be grateful to Turkey. If Turkey had not made an operation, the Greeks would have been led by the EOKA mercenaries, and they would have attacked the Greeks who opposed them, not only would they have killed the Turks. In Greece, the Colonels' junta would gain power with the Nikos Sampson coup in Cyprus, and you would completely break Greece from democracy and you would now encounter a very different Greece

Heee heeee propoganda😂😂
bs.EOKA was not a terrorist organization, it was a party that wanted Cyprus to stop being a British colony and unify with Greece. Turkey baptized it as terrorists the same way it does with Kurds, which they slaughter in order to not let them form Kurdistan. Cyprus should unite with Greece because the 78% of its population was Greek and it was what the majority wanted. Turkey invaded an island that wasn't its own because Turks were just a 18% minority and they feared a union with Greece which was what the majority of Cypriot citizents really wanted. They used intercommunal violence as an excuse (because 600 Turks died during Bloody Christmas and 500 Greeks were slaughtered by Turkish Cypriots in an event just after Bloody Christmas). And with the excuse of an event, they invaded, displaced more than the entire country's 50% population of unarmed civilians which they threw out of their houses doing ethnic cleansing, raping and killing many people. They just grabbed an island they had no right to, disrespected the people's will, slaughtered killed and did much worse crimes that they accused the Cypriots of. And still to this day, Turkey keeps this island hostage. All the other you said are brainfckn bs, just as Russia says this to justify the invasion to Ukraine.

Do you have videos about Nikos Samson 's EOKA coup and killing of the US Nicosia Ambassador by Greco-Cypriots ?
There is no video documentation of these murders. While a member of the terrorist organization EOKA, Nikos Sampson murdered two people, was connected to a further 13 killings and was set for capital punishment, but sadly the United Kingdom changed its policies in the 1950s, and the sentence was never carried out. Thankfully Sampson later sat almost two decades rotting in a Cypriot prison, followed by a painful death after a battle with cancer some years after his release.
The EOKA B coup happened much later, in 1974 with collaboration with the Government of Greece that tried to illegally annex the island of Cyprus and installed a puppet government with Sampson as President, after trying to assassinate the actual President of Cyprus earlier.
The murders in question happened in and around 1957. EOKA and EOKA B were two different and distinct terrorist groups, but many confuse the two and think that they are one and the same.

How did the Turks settle in Cyprus? There are historical sources that suggest some Greek priests sent messages to the Ottoman Empire before the conquest of Cyprus. These priests conveyed the dissatisfaction of the local population with Venetian rule and sought help from the Ottomans.
