Turkey did a great thing by stopping the Greek genocide. Unfortunately, Britain and the United States got upset because of Turkey's independence in this area, which caused a bit of a conflict of interest. The Turks were on the brink of capturing the entire Island, but at the last minute, they agreed to retreat. The British, Americans, and Greek Zionists wanted the Turkish military to completely withdraw, but the Turks refused. They isolated Turkey with an economic embargo and undermined the Turkish military, which led to multiple coups and the installation of puppet Islamists like Erdogan later.
When I see boys immediately choose to follow Turkish soldiers, they help to carry weapons. I couldn't hold my tears. Most of paratroopers have died actually, including these kids surely. God bless, eternally blessed ones.
It was the Greeks who attempted to ethnically cleanse the island of Turkish people lived there many generations and join mainland Greece .So it was not an invasion but legitimately executed operation by its guarantor rights.
So the same can be said about Russia stopping the genocide of ethnic Russians living for generations in the Donbass at the hand of the Kiev regime, right?
exactly... my dad, uncle and their parents had their house sprayed with bullets by the Greeks. Then 2 of them tried to enter the house but my grandad was waiting for them with a shotgun. I wouldn't be here if he didn't defend his home.
Both sides commited attrocities especially in 63-64. But in 1974 during the coup few turkish cypriots were harmed. There was a small greek "civil war", the units controlled by the junta vs the units which remained loyal to Makarios. After the invasion and during the battles again both sides commited crimes against civilians.

@@metinkozan9237 No. I think that the Greek Junta and a small part of right wing extremists did a coup on president Makarios, they overthrow him, then Turkey invaded as a guarantor power. But is one thing to invade with the pretext to restore peace and is another to stay there for 50 years and occupy half of the island. Is not about a bad and a good side. Both sides have mistakes. But Turkey should leave the Island and stop occupying it. Because no occupation is justifiable. Look Ukraine, Georgia and more. Dont you agree on that?

Not one tourist died during the entire operation, despite the fact that some of them were blatantly used as human shields by the Greek Cypriot forces.
In 1974, the military junta in Greece aimed to annex Cyprus to Greece by overthrowing President Makarios and establishing Greek rule on the island. This coup led to massacres and ethnic cleansing against the Turkish population in Cyprus. Turkish villages were attacked, many Turkish civilians were killed, and many were forcibly displaced. In response, Turkey intervened militarily to protect the Turkish people, dividing the island. This intervention led to the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and resulted in the permanent division of the island.
Why don't you show thousands of killed Turks in this video. Killed in the bathroom. There are pictures of families and children. Why don't you show them? You are two-faced people.
A bit of Cyprus history based on encyclopedic facts: 1571 - The Ottomans capture the island from the Venetians. 1877 - The island remains under Ottoman rule until Sultan Abdul Hamid II leases the island to Queen Victoria in 1878. 1878 - The British Empire assumes the provisional administration of Cyprus, making it a British Protectorate. 1914 - The Ottomans join the Central Powers, entering World War I, and Britain declares the complete annexation of Cyprus into the British Empire. 1955 - The Greek EOKA launches an insurgency and terrorist campaign against the legitimate British rule with the aim of uniting Cyprus with mainland Greece. 1960 - Cyprus is granted independence and declared a Republic with 77.1% Greeks and 18.2% Turks. 1963 - Intercommunal violence erupts on 21 December 1963 when the Greek Cypriot leadership believes that the rights given to Turkish Cypriots under the 1960 constitution are too extensive and designs the Akritas plan, which aims at reforming the constitution in favor of Greek Cypriots. 1964 - The violence results in the death of 364 Turkish and 174 Greek Cypriots, the destruction of 109 Turkish Cypriot or mixed villages, and the displacement of 25,000-30,000 Turkish Cypriots. The crisis results in the end of Turkish Cypriot involvement in the administration and their claim that it has lost its legitimacy. 1964 - Turkey threatens to intervene in Cyprus in response to the continuing Cypriot intercommunal violence. 1965 - Makarios and the Greek prime minister Georgios Papandreou agree that enosis should be the ultimate aim and King Constantine wishes Cyprus "a speedy union with the mother country". Greece dispatches 10,000 troops to Cyprus to counter a possible Turkish invasion. 1974 - The Greek military junta under Dimitrios Ioannides carries out a coup d'état in Cyprus to unite the island with Greece. The coup ousts president Makarios III and replaces him with pro-enosis nationalist Nikos Sampson. 1974 - Turkey launches Operation Atilla and captures one-third of the island. 1983 - Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktas proclaims the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
How these Globalist CABALIST bastards twists the facts as it suits them,they have been doing this for centuries but they forgotten one thing, young generations don't know the history but they question it now,just like Palestinian issue. Cyprus was Ottoman rule since 1571.It was rented to British 1878 as they were allies against Russians.Turks and greeks were living in peace and harmony .Brits done it again,AS they did where ever they went they have created divisions between natives,changed the demographics of that country.They imported many greek speaking people all around the medittranian to make Turks minority,taking their lands and giving it to them .HOW THEY DONE IT IN PALESTINE,THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DONE IN CYPRUS TOO... Greeks trIed to massacre Turkish people to join Cyprus to Greece 1963 ,Turkiye had to act as it was one of the quarantors 1974 and there is peace in Cyprus since then.
The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios. Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis: "I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question." In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954. Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951. The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955. Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens. In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization. Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action. Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles. Eoka militants, who massacred hundreds of Turks, 100 British and hundreds of Greeks during their action, destroyed 30 Turkish villages and caused the Turks living there to migrate. Eoka started attacking again in 1963 and destroyed 103 Turkish villages and killed more than 500 Turks; It forced tens of thousands of Turks to migrate. Eoka, who appeared under the name Eoka-B during the Sampson coup on July 15, 1974, this time turned his weapons against his own people and massacred 2,000 Greeks. That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!
@Sumerdini ok? So you are saying that the "onwership" of cyprous is not on cyprous but on the Ottoman "power"? Like what about the various peoples from various places that were forcefully relocated through divide n conquer n assimilation tactics thay were moved in cyprous by the ottomans, are they cypriots?

Tmt terr orists killed innocent people including children. Get your facts right! That incident you mentioned was staged by tmt terr orists. Brainwashed!
I watched a street interview about Cyprus. The interview was conducted in the southern part of Cyprus. The Cypriot Greeks were asked about the northern part of Cyprus. One person's words caught my attention. He said he was a teacher. His comment was as follows: We gambled both for Cyprus and for Istanbul. And we lost in the gamble. Now we want back what we lost in the gamble. We need to return to real life. It was such a beautifully expressed statement that I wanted to share it with you.
Turkish invasion? The name of the operation is definitely not Atilla. The EOKA terrorist group massacred Turkish civilians for a long time. With the coup that took place with the Megali Idea and the idea of Greater Greece: "There was a coup in our country. That's why we may have killed a few more Turks." They had a goal to completely eliminate the Turks in Cyprus with a diplomatic game like this. The name of the operation is "Cyprus Peace Operation." Throughout the operation, the British provided all they could to the Greeks with humanitarian aid, but they were still unsuccessful. In fact, 10,000 Turkish civilians were trapped in a castle for 2 months. The truth will surely come out.
@@omathitis8498 In fact, the Greek and Greek population is numerically much smaller than the Turks, as it was throughout history. So the fly is small and if it lands on the plate, you will be sick to your stomach. This is not an insult, it is a Turkish expression. Whenever states such as England, France, and Russia were in diplomatic difficulty throughout history, they supported the provocative activities of Armenians and Greeks, who were minorities in Turkish lands. He used them as a weapon of sociological attack. Those who have made and repeated this mistake many times throughout history must have risked the consequences. And unfortunately, the babies slaughtered in bathtubs in Cyprus, the doctor and his family, and the EOKA murders committed in hundreds of villages are a great reason for us to do what is necessary to protect our brothers and sisters. Our problem is not dry nationalism, racism or imperial politics. If you look at our philosophy and belief, in accordance with the commandments of Islam, which is the last and true religion, we believe in all the prophets, including the Prophet Jesus, the Prophet Moses, Joseph, Abraham (peace be upon them all), and the last and the rules of which are valid and uncorrupted, the Prophet Muhammad Mustafa ( Peace and blessings be upon him.) is his religion. While some people do not know what a toilet is, we have established foundations to meet the needs of flying storks, not an unjust evil to a human being. Unfortunately, your neighbor's mother badmouths you and your family to her child every day and makes them feel hostility towards you. You can't hug when he comes at you to attack. Unfortunately, the Greeks always lose in this equation, one way or another. However, we pray to God that even they will be saved, not only for the life of this world but also for the life after death. May God guide you.

Turkey is a guarantor country in Cyprus. (according to London-Zurich agreement) and has a right to intervene when there is security risk (like you know the popular european sport : muslim killing) or a coup.. threat to existing constitution or its abuse. They all happened. Had Turkish interest been "invasion" why would Turkey propose UK to act together? Did you ever meet an invader trying to internationalize his operation? "invasion" is a big lie.. It was a restoration of peace and security. Civilian lives were at stake. Lives and honor of peace-loving people...
Türkey değil "Türkiye" değişeli 2 yıl oldu. o sırada araplarla rumların arası çok iyiydi hatta filistin bile rumları destekliyordu. O açıdan müslim killing kısmını da düzelt. Rumların derdi müttefiki müslümanlar değildi onlar "Türkleri" öldürüyordu.
I would have never assumed that someone can restore peace and provide a secure environment with 1000s of murders, rapes and tortures. Greece was also a guarantor have they got involved?
They were a guarantor of the Republic, meaning they intervene to protect it during the coup. Not split it into 2. So Turkey violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, it is suppose to protect. This is an invasion. It was done in 2 phases. It was disaproved by the UN, and also, the creation of a new state condemned by the UN.
@@smyrnianlink What a lot of verbal diarrhea and especially when it comes from Turk/Turkey talking about killings and keeping peace. Turkey as an invader and criminal ( The holocaust is considered to be the top genocide in history , after that is Turkey with the biggers number ) Turkey shouldn't of had rights in any decisions regarding Cyprus or be a member of NATO. You manipulate people and turn the truth around for your own benefits.
This was not an invasion. It intervened to protect the Turks from the massacres of the Greeks, using its rights as a guarantor based on international agreements. Everything was completely legal, based on international agreements. What makes England a rich country are the colonies and the trade routes it reaches to colonies. The Suez Canal is one of the most important of these. When Egypt took the Suez Canal from the British company and made it national, England bombed the region with planes taking off from Cyprus. Cyprus is in a very important location. The 1950s and 1960s were a period when the colonies that gained their independence came under the wings of the USSR. Cyprus was an england colonie and too important to be given to the Russians due to its location. England saw this and lit the fuse with the events of September 6-7 in 1955. Then, it pitted the two communities against each other in Cyprus with BBC broadcasts and propaganda. The Greeks committed massacres against the Turks. and Ecevit decided to intervene militarily in Cyprus to save turks.( while he was in England.) As a result of all this, an island with two hostile communities, one of which would definitely be an ally of the British, was formed and England had two bases in the south of the island to control the Suez Canal.

I first learned anything about Cyprus in Geography class in first year of secondary school, and then would learn some more about the island in Geography and History classes in the following years. I'm also quite sure that Makarios had made some sort of earlier impression on me - the eyes of a child and all that. I'm sure being born and bred in Belfast encouraged interest, and I've always been aware of how the experience of people here in (Northern) Ireland chimed or at least echoed with there. In terms of media, it's great that an organisation like ITN is making material like this available for much wider audiences to view and appreciate. It provides for wonderful insight and scope for learning.
@BelfastGav Well, yes and no. What amazing luck that the ITN news team was at the Ledra Palace hotel in the center of Nicosia when they received an 'anonymous tip' that there would be a Turkish parachute drop North of the capital and rushed to greet the parachutists. Then proceeded to engage in the typical pro-Turkish and anti-Cypriot propaganda. Who'd have thought that could happen eh? BTW, if you have an interest in the history of Cyprus, you will be absolutely amazed at what you will know about it in the next few years.

Does anyone know what Operation Sunshine is, or was? It is, or was, an MI6 operation in Cyprus back in 1959. The details are revealed in the enlightening research of Stephen Dorril under the title “MI6-Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service.” The summary is as follows: Cyprus was drawn into ethnic conflict in the late 1950s. Armed, right-wing Greek bands were carrying out attacks against British rule on the island and against Turkish civilians - something that would be named as an attempt at ethnic cleansing in today’s world. In response, Turkey secretly helped an embryonic resistance among Turkish Cypriots, organizing and arming them. The Brits decided to take effective steps. MI6 started to tap some VIP telephones, relying on the cutting-edge technology of the day in order to prevent further killings and provide a basis for a settlement between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The names included the Greek leader, Archbishop Marakios III. While eavesdropping on Makarios’ lines in order to obtain some political and military information, they recorded some other stuff by mistake - “Rather unusual homosexual proclivities,” as described by the book. That was in 1958 and when Makarios resisted signing an agreement with Turkish Cypriots under the guarantee of Britain, Turkey and Greece in 1959 in Zurich, he had a visitor in his hotel room with some information to share. Makarios changed his mind overnight, came down to the hotel lobby where his Turkish counterpart Fazıl Küçük was waiting and signed the first treaty on Cyprus which lead the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960. That was Operation Sunshine. That is a part of the background story about how the Republic of Cyprus with Makarios as the president and Küçük as the deputy president was established. That British-made fragile structure began to fall apart a few years later, ultimately leading to theTurkish military intervention which divided Cyprus into two in 1974.
That was the reaction to the enosis massacre, where Turkish civillians have been murdered by greeks, commited by cyprus greeks under leadership of the genocide-committer Makarios III.
The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios. Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis: "I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life.

That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!
UN troops announced the Hotel was neutral place but the Greeks used it as a firing position for mortars and heavy machine guns. They endangered the lives of tourists in the hotel. They used them as human shields. And the fact that no guests in the Hotel was injured not due to the courage of UN soldiers but because of the courage and patience of the Turkish soldiers. They did not demolish the Hotel although they could very easily, because harming civilians is not in our culture unlike Greeks, Israelis, Americans and Armenians.
In Cyprus,there were a steadfast Communist support for President Makarios.Also Cypriote Communist party was faithful to the Soviet Union..In 1973 the coup of Brigadier Ioannides in Greece, a U.Sbacked general,because his opposition against socialists and communism and the subsequent coup by 39-year-old Nikos Sampson in. Cyprus used against churchman Makarios.. Sampson declared himself the leader of the Hellenic Republic of Cyprus. On July 19, 1974,Making a speech at the Council in London , Makarios said that the Greeks occupied Cyprus and that the Greek flag was flying in all Cypriot government offices and that there were great losses and that the Greeks were murdered Cypriots and more dangerous than the Turks and that the independence of Cyprus had disappeared and its people were in danger. Britain and US did not support Makarios. It's not hard to understand why .The Turkish Army landed on the island from Kyrenia Karaoğlan location on the morning of July 20, 1974.Meanwhile, on July 23, the Greek junta in Athens Greece was overthrown and N.Sampson resigned in Nicosia. During and after the actual operation The Turks where in matters where they had rightful cause with some politicians incompetent attitudes and demands in many agreements, meetings and negotiations over the years. This prevented gains for Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots in Turkey's rightful cause. The fact that the guarantor state, England, did not want to take the initiative caused many problems. With this operation, the Turkish Cypriots were protected and the annexation of the island to Greece was prevented, but even if the operation was not carried out, I think the annexation of Cyprus to Greece would never have happened.

@@asker9172 Unfortunately, because you only have a superficial view, you have fallen for the Turkish propaganda. Firstly, in the late 1940's and early fifties, Papagos, the then Prime Minister of Greece told Makarios that Greece was not interested in Enosis (Union) with Cyprus. It was not desired by the UK/US and as Greece had two lungs, one British and the other American, it was not possible. This then set the scene for pseudo independence. As for killing Turks, please tell me how many Turkish speaking Cypriots were murdered by TMT, because they had Greek speaking friends and then claimed it was the "Greeks" that did it. Can you answer that question?
My Brother was serving in the RAF at Akrotiri Airbase. His wife and two very young sons were living in Limassol and were evacuated, at one point having to drive through a crossfire (between opposing Greeks, no Turks there). six months later he was still serving there, but his family were back in the UK. I visited him by a ferry from Haifa as I was working as a volunteer on a Kibbutz in Israel. despite this craziness the world was still mostly sane then.
To render the commentary historically accurate it must be stated that the Greek Cypriot National Guard forces, under strict orders form the Greek military government in Greece mainland, were forbitten from deploying and taking action against the invading Turkish army at the crucial initial stages of the invasion operation. The sporadic return of fire from Greek Cypriot forces occurred far too late and after the Turkish army had established a firm foothold on the island, had managed to land tanks and heavy weaponry, and after numbers of the National Guard artillery and armoured vehicles had been deliberately left exposed to be destroyed by the Turkish air-bombing. A treacherous plan had been laid and executed at the grave expense of the GCs aiming to make the Turkish advance on the island a walk in the park.

The greek junta misscalculated the whole thing. When they launched the coup they didn't expect a turkish invasion. When the turkish transport planes arrived they were easy targets because they fly low and slow. The greek A/A crews were asking permission fron the National Guard HQ to open fire, the NG HQ were asking permission from the junta in Athens and the junta were replying "it's not an invasion, it's military exercises". The order to engage was given hours later but the turkish paratroopers were already to their positions.

Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis: "I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question." In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954. Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951. The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955. Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens. In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization. Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action. Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles. Eoka militants, who massacred hundreds of Turks, 100 British and hundreds of Greeks during their action, destroyed 30 Turkish villages and caused the Turks living there to migrate. Eoka started attacking again in 1963 and destroyed 103 Turkish villages and killed more than 500 Turks; It forced tens of thousands of Turks to migrate. Eoka, who appeared under the name Eoka-B during the Sampson coup on July 15, 1974, this time turned his weapons against his own people and massacred 2,000 Greeks. That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!

Why didn't you leave, then, when the Constitutional order was restored? Why did you bring over settlers from Anatolia by the thousands? Why do you still to this day keep 40 thousand soldiers on the island? Why do you not go home after half a century of Occupation? Let Greek and Turkish Cypriots return to our ancestral homelands and live in peace!
my dad, his brother and parents were there. He told me what happened. The Greek soldiers turned up at their house and started spraying bullets everywhere, while they took cover. 2 of the soldiers then tried to enter the house but my granddad was waiting for them with a double-barrel shotgun. They never made it into their house.... I wouldn't be here if my grandfather didn't shoot back.
They fought ferociously against civilians!! They invaded a small defenceless island. They killed ra#@d and stole everything they came across.. Are you proud of that achievement?

This brutal mongol invasion to the Greek Island of The Republic of Cyprus was very well coordinated by the British and Canadian UN troops. In many instances were involved in the conflict by giving the positions of the Greek defenders to the Turks. After all what can you expect from countries with great tradition in homosexuality…
It didn't bring peace, thousands of Greeks lost their lives and homes. The northern part of the island is destroyed and poor as a result of this invasion. Do you call this liberation?

On August 16, 1960 Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom, after the long anti-British campaign by the Greek Cypriot EOKA (National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters), a guerrilla group which desired political union with Greece. In November 1963, President Makarios advanced a series of constitutional amendments designed to eliminate some of these special provisions. The Turkish Cypriots opposed such changes. The confrontation prompted widespread intercommunal fighting in December 1963, after which the Akritas Plan was put into motion and Turkish Cypriot participation in the central government ceased on December 23, 1963. In July 1974, the President was overthrown by the 1974 Cypriot coup d'état carried out by Greece, which was under Greek military junta rule. The Turkish invasion of Cyprus began on 20 July 1974.
The territory of Greece is 1,103 Kilometers away from the territory of Cyprus. Türkiye is 70 kilometers away from Cyprus. Now I ask everyone, Who do you think is the real invader? :)

The legitimate reason for the Turkish Peace Operation in Cyprus was the increasing oppression and malicious actions against the Turkish community living there. In 1974, the coup carried out by the Greek National Guard in Cyprus, supported by Greece, endangered the lives of the Turkish community on the island and created the risk of massacre. Turkey, based on the 1960 Guarantee Agreements, acted on July 20, 1974, to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriots and to restore constitutional order.

The Cyprus Peace Operation achieved its goal. No blood has been shed on the island for 50 years. No one is dying. Therefore, it seems necessary for the Turkish and Greek sides to live separately
It would be interesting to know about the little boy (Russell Barnes?) who left the family villa without any shoes. He would have celebrated his 54th birthday yesterday.
Once the Turkish troops landed, the game was up, the greeks had no chance, however the two communities should reconcile their differences now and unite the divided island.
Was Turkey, like Greece, under a military dictatorship at the time? In July 1974? Why did the military dictatorship in Greece stage a putsch and kick out Makarios? Earlier in 1974? Was Makarios attempting to maintain Cyprus’s total independence? How did the Turkish Cypriots view Makarios by the 1970s?
Turkey was also run by a military government, the same as Greece. Archbishops Makarios’ views were to have Enosis, but were not in line with those of the Greek junta and their EOKA puppets, but bear in mind that the Archbishop still wanted to get rid of the Turkish Cypriots as per the Akiritas Plan which he was a singnator of. The Turkish Cypriots viewed the Archbishop as someone who was leading the moves to ethnically cleanse the island of them.
@@engineer6250 Türkiye wasn't exactly run by the military like it was in Greece. It was run by a coalition party made up of the CHP and MSP. The turkish army did make a military intervention prior but they gave the authority to civilians powers but were overseeing politics but not directly. Unlike the Greek Junta which had direct control.
my father and a good friend of mine served in Cyprus a couple years before I was born. both in the Canadian army as UN Peacekeepers as you can see here. my father was more angry when I told him that I was going to Afghanistan as a ISAF.
yes. What makes England a rich country are the colonies and the trade routes it reaches to colonies. The Suez Canal is one of the most important of these. When Egypt took the Suez Canal from the British company and made it national, England bombed the region with planes taking off from Cyprus. Cyprus is in a very important location. The 1950s and 1960s were a period when the colonies that gained their independence came under the wings of the USSR. Cyprus was an england colonie and too important to be given to the Russians due to its location. England saw this and lit the fuse with the events of September 6-7 in 1955. Then, it pitted the two communities against each other in Cyprus with BBC broadcasts and propaganda. The Greeks committed massacres against the Turks. and Ecevit decided to intervene militarily in Cyprus to save turks.( while he was in England.) As a result of all this, an island with two hostile communities, one of which would definitely be an ally of the British, was formed and England had two bases in the south of the island to control the Suez Canal.

That British film crew sure had a lot of nerves wandering around in the midst of the fighting, even talking to the Turkish troops who had just landed and might have come under fire any moment.
Viewers of ITN should be well aware that the British have a policy of creating chaos and issues wherever they go. As we all know, the Turks brought peace and ended hostilities triggered by the Greek coup. See yourself in the video how the locals are celebrating 03:38, the arrival of the Turkish troops.

Even our people live there now in a low living standard compared to south Greek part, they are alive at least.

The glorious Turkish army, whose past and history begins with the history of humanity, organized the Cyprus peace operation in 1974 against the Eoka Eoka massacres against the Turkish, British and peace-loving Greeks on the island and gave a historical lesson to those who committed the massacres. The name of the operation is Atilla, the meaning of the name Atilla comes from the great Turkish Khan Atilla.
The Ottomans defeated the Venetians and conquered Cyprus. All of Cyprus belongs to Turkiye. The British moved the Greeks to the island starting from the 1900s and took the lands of the Turks
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus began on 20 July 1974 and progressed in two phases over the following month. Taking place upon a background of intercommunal violence between Greek and Turkish Cypriots , and in response to a Greek junta-sponsored Cypriot coup d'état five days earlier, it led to the Turkish capture and occupation of the northern part of the island. During the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in July 1974, the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet conducted an evacuation of American citizens amidst escalating violence. Key events include: Evacuation Details: On July 22, with the USS Forrestal providing air cover, Marine helicopters from the USS Inchon evacuated 466 people, including 384 Americans, over five hours. The USS Little Rock and other Sixth Fleet units such as the USS Milwaukee AOR-2 provided operational support and remained on station until July 28, 1974. Americans were scattered across the island, with many gathered in Nicosia. The evacuation was ordered due to fears of renewed fighting after a ceasefire. This operation highlighted the Sixth Fleet's rapid response capabilities during a volatile crisis.

Also, where is the footage of the torture and murder of the women and children committed by the greeks? And don't forget Türkiye was and is a guarantor defending the Cypriot Turks, so we had every right to move in. All I can say is they are lucky we only went there to protect the Turks, not to invade if we did they would have had to swim all the way to athhens.
Typical British and US media. Anything that's not the Western powers is the aggressor and they're the good guys. Historians will always learn and know the truth so don't worry much.
In 1974 Uk first had to free the island from the Greek coup junta not the Turks in order to help the Cypriots. They didn't do that. England was a Garantor state.The coup in Greece and then Cyprus organized by the Greek Junta which was backed by the US and UK…
Because US and UK had already agreed on a 30% territory for Turkish invasion. Dumb Greeks thought they could drive all Turkish cypriots out of the island and some 55 years after WW1 once again they were abused by the West. Greeks deserved their destiny.

Greece had more modern aircraft, unfortunately pilots were MIA. So the new F4 phantoms sat doing nothing. Overall militarily they stood no chance against Turkey without more jets, tanks etc. so never would they endeavor to go to war in the fear that Turkey this time doesn't stop at Constantinople.
When I look at the comments, there are foreigners who call the Turkish regime genocidal. Turks in Cyprus were subjected to village attacks by Greek militias, massacres were committed against Turks hiding unarmed in the bathroom, and genocides were committed against Turks because Cyprus did not become Turkified due to Greek nationalism. So I ask you, what did the international states and the leaders of Cyprus do in this situation? Turkey set foot there to ensure peace in Cyprus and stop the bloodshed. If you are looking for a genocidal person, look at your own history. especially europe
One sided as usual... I still don't understand the support of British to Turkish (I guess, interests above all) and the reporting concept within the entire video. Most of the important information was left out. And the funny thing is that, Turkish commenters are the ones complaining for biased opinions! Again!
Because UK and US had agreed on a 30% invasion territory for Turkey. Dumb Greeks thought they were the whole owner of cyprus and were once again abused by th West.
US allowed this because they could sell arms to both nations as long as the hostility continues. And the greeks were really fool enough to be abused by the british and americans.
british narrative calling Turks invaders, go figure :) Turkish Armed Forces rescued Turkish Cypriots from ethnic cleansing of fascist Greek junta and restored peace in the island. Till this day, the peace has been protected and it was the best solution to a problem with no perfect solutions. We can understand this by looking at how those two states can live together in the island nowadays. They should accept each other as they are and start being a better naighbour to each other for a change and peace of mind.

@@selcukcilek555 The 1974 Turkish intervention in Cyprus is seen as an invasion because Turkey went way beyond what the Treaty of Guarantee allowed, leading to the illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus. The British bases are there because of agreements made when Cyprus became independent, so that's why you see British military and civilians on the island. As for the claims that reports of Turkish bombings were just Western propaganda, there are multiple sources that documented civilian casualties, so it's not just some made-up story. Sure, media bias exists, but dismissing everything as propaganda is way too simplistic for a situation as complex as this. Nothing wrong with being critical of the media. But you're obviously very biased yourself.

Turkey did a great thing by stopping the Greek genocide. Unfortunately, Britain and the United States got upset because of Turkey's independence in this area, which caused a bit of a conflict of interest. The Turks were on the brink of capturing the entire Island, but at the last minute, they agreed to retreat. The British, Americans, and Greek Zionists wanted the Turkish military to completely withdraw, but the Turks refused. They isolated Turkey with an economic embargo and undermined the Turkish military, which led to multiple coups and the installation of puppet Islamists like Erdogan later.
When I see boys immediately choose to follow Turkish soldiers, they help to carry weapons. I couldn't hold my tears. Most of paratroopers have died actually, including these kids surely. God bless, eternally blessed ones.
It was the Greeks who attempted to ethnically cleanse the island of Turkish people lived there many generations and join mainland Greece .So it was not an invasion but legitimately executed operation by its guarantor rights.
So the same can be said about Russia stopping the genocide of ethnic Russians living for generations in the Donbass at the hand of the Kiev regime, right?
Which is why it was pretty much facilitated by Britains military

Not one tourist died during the entire operation, despite the fact that some of them were blatantly used as human shields by the Greek Cypriot forces.
I doubt they were prevented from leaving, or the Greeks stored weapons and ammunition under the hotels or hospitals.
In 1974, the military junta in Greece aimed to annex Cyprus to Greece by overthrowing President Makarios and establishing Greek rule on the island. This coup led to massacres and ethnic cleansing against the Turkish population in Cyprus. Turkish villages were attacked, many Turkish civilians were killed, and many were forcibly displaced. In response, Turkey intervened militarily to protect the Turkish people, dividing the island. This intervention led to the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and resulted in the permanent division of the island.
Why don't you show thousands of killed Turks in this video. Killed in the bathroom. There are pictures of families and children. Why don't you show them? You are two-faced people.
A bit of Cyprus history based on encyclopedic facts:
1571 - The Ottomans capture the island from the Venetians.
1877 - The island remains under Ottoman rule until Sultan Abdul Hamid II leases the island to Queen Victoria in 1878.
1878 - The British Empire assumes the provisional administration of Cyprus, making it a British Protectorate.
1914 - The Ottomans join the Central Powers, entering World War I, and Britain declares the complete annexation of Cyprus into the British Empire.
1955 - The Greek EOKA launches an insurgency and terrorist campaign against the legitimate British rule with the aim of uniting Cyprus with mainland Greece.
1960 - Cyprus is granted independence and declared a Republic with 77.1% Greeks and 18.2% Turks.
1963 - Intercommunal violence erupts on 21 December 1963 when the Greek Cypriot leadership believes that the rights given to Turkish Cypriots under the 1960 constitution are too extensive and designs the Akritas plan, which aims at reforming the constitution in favor of Greek Cypriots.
1964 - The violence results in the death of 364 Turkish and 174 Greek Cypriots, the destruction of 109 Turkish Cypriot or mixed villages, and the displacement of 25,000-30,000 Turkish Cypriots. The crisis results in the end of Turkish Cypriot involvement in the administration and their claim that it has lost its legitimacy.
1964 - Turkey threatens to intervene in Cyprus in response to the continuing Cypriot intercommunal violence.
1965 - Makarios and the Greek prime minister Georgios Papandreou agree that enosis should be the ultimate aim and King Constantine wishes Cyprus "a speedy union with the mother country". Greece dispatches 10,000 troops to Cyprus to counter a possible Turkish invasion.
1974 - The Greek military junta under Dimitrios Ioannides carries out a coup d'état in Cyprus to unite the island with Greece. The coup ousts president Makarios III and replaces him with pro-enosis nationalist Nikos Sampson.
1974 - Turkey launches Operation Atilla and captures one-third of the island.
1983 - Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktas proclaims the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
How these Globalist CABALIST bastards twists the facts as it suits them,they have been doing this for centuries but they forgotten one thing, young generations don't know the history but they question it now,just like Palestinian issue.
Cyprus was Ottoman rule since 1571.It was rented to British 1878 as they were allies against Russians.Turks and greeks were living in peace and harmony .Brits done it again,AS they did where ever they went they have created divisions between natives,changed the demographics of that country.They imported many greek speaking people all around the medittranian to make Turks minority,taking their lands and giving it to them .HOW THEY DONE IT IN PALESTINE,THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DONE IN CYPRUS TOO...
Greeks trIed to massacre Turkish people to join Cyprus to Greece 1963 ,Turkiye had to act as it was one of the quarantors 1974 and there is peace in Cyprus since then.
The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios.
Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis:
"I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question."
In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954.
Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951.
The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955.
Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens.
In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization.
Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action.
Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles.
Eoka militants, who massacred hundreds of Turks, 100 British and hundreds of Greeks during their action, destroyed 30 Turkish villages and caused the Turks living there to migrate.
Eoka started attacking again in 1963 and destroyed 103 Turkish villages and killed more than 500 Turks; It forced tens of thousands of Turks to migrate.
Eoka, who appeared under the name Eoka-B during the Sampson coup on July 15, 1974, this time turned his weapons against his own people and massacred 2,000 Greeks.
That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!

In 1974, the military junta in Greece aimed to annex Cyprus to Greece by overthrowing President Makarios and establishing Greek rule on the island. This coup led to massacres and ethnic cleansing against the Turkish population in Cyprus. Turkish villages were attacked, many Turkish civilians were killed, and many were forcibly displaced. In response, Turkey intervened militarily to protect the Turkish people, dividing the island. This intervention led to the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and resulted in the permanent division of the island.

I watched a street interview about Cyprus. The interview was conducted in the southern part of Cyprus. The Cypriot Greeks were asked about the northern part of Cyprus. One person's words caught my attention. He said he was a teacher. His comment was as follows: We gambled both for Cyprus and for Istanbul. And we lost in the gamble. Now we want back what we lost in the gamble. We need to return to real life. It was such a beautifully expressed statement that I wanted to share it with you.
Turkish invasion? The name of the operation is definitely not Atilla. The EOKA terrorist group massacred Turkish civilians for a long time. With the coup that took place with the Megali Idea and the idea of Greater Greece: "There was a coup in our country. That's why we may have killed a few more Turks." They had a goal to completely eliminate the Turks in Cyprus with a diplomatic game like this. The name of the operation is "Cyprus Peace Operation." Throughout the operation, the British provided all they could to the Greeks with humanitarian aid, but they were still unsuccessful. In fact, 10,000 Turkish civilians were trapped in a castle for 2 months. The truth will surely come out.
What do we do with the Greeks massacred by the Turks for hundreds of years? 🤔
@@omathitis8498 In fact, the Greek and Greek population is numerically much smaller than the Turks, as it was throughout history. So the fly is small and if it lands on the plate, you will be sick to your stomach. This is not an insult, it is a Turkish expression. Whenever states such as England, France, and Russia were in diplomatic difficulty throughout history, they supported the provocative activities of Armenians and Greeks, who were minorities in Turkish lands. He used them as a weapon of sociological attack. Those who have made and repeated this mistake many times throughout history must have risked the consequences. And unfortunately, the babies slaughtered in bathtubs in Cyprus, the doctor and his family, and the EOKA murders committed in hundreds of villages are a great reason for us to do what is necessary to protect our brothers and sisters. Our problem is not dry nationalism, racism or imperial politics. If you look at our philosophy and belief, in accordance with the commandments of Islam, which is the last and true religion, we believe in all the prophets, including the Prophet Jesus, the Prophet Moses, Joseph, Abraham (peace be upon them all), and the last and the rules of which are valid and uncorrupted, the Prophet Muhammad Mustafa ( Peace and blessings be upon him.) is his religion. While some people do not know what a toilet is, we have established foundations to meet the needs of flying storks, not an unjust evil to a human being. Unfortunately, your neighbor's mother badmouths you and your family to her child every day and makes them feel hostility towards you. You can't hug when he comes at you to attack. Unfortunately, the Greeks always lose in this equation, one way or another. However, we pray to God that even they will be saved, not only for the life of this world but also for the life after death. May God guide you.

I would have never assumed that someone can restore peace and provide a secure environment with 1000s of murders, rapes and tortures. Greece was also a guarantor have they got involved?
They were a guarantor of the Republic, meaning they intervene to protect it during the coup. Not split it into 2. So Turkey violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, it is suppose to protect. This is an invasion. It was done in 2 phases. It was disaproved by the UN, and also, the creation of a new state condemned by the UN.

This was not an invasion. It intervened to protect the Turks from the massacres of the Greeks, using its rights as a guarantor based on international agreements. Everything was completely legal, based on international agreements.
What makes England a rich country are the colonies and the trade routes it reaches to colonies. The Suez Canal is one of the most important of these. When Egypt took the Suez Canal from the British company and made it national, England bombed the region with planes taking off from Cyprus. Cyprus is in a very important location.
The 1950s and 1960s were a period when the colonies that gained their independence came under the wings of the USSR. Cyprus was an england colonie and too important to be given to the Russians due to its location. England saw this and lit the fuse with the events of September 6-7 in 1955. Then, it pitted the two communities against each other in Cyprus with BBC broadcasts and propaganda. The Greeks committed massacres against the Turks. and Ecevit decided to intervene militarily in Cyprus to save turks.( while he was in England.)
As a result of all this, an island with two hostile communities, one of which would definitely be an ally of the British, was formed and England had two bases in the south of the island to control the Suez Canal.

I first learned anything about Cyprus in Geography class in first year of secondary school, and then would learn some more about the island in Geography and History classes in the following years. I'm also quite sure that Makarios had made some sort of earlier impression on me - the eyes of a child and all that.

Does anyone know what Operation Sunshine is, or was? It is, or was, an MI6 operation in Cyprus back in 1959. The details are revealed in the enlightening research of Stephen Dorril under the title “MI6-Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service.”
The summary is as follows: Cyprus was drawn into ethnic conflict in the late 1950s. Armed, right-wing Greek bands were carrying out attacks against British rule on the island and against Turkish civilians - something that would be named as an attempt at ethnic cleansing in today’s world. In response, Turkey secretly helped an embryonic resistance among Turkish Cypriots, organizing and arming them.
The Brits decided to take effective steps. MI6 started to tap some VIP telephones, relying on the cutting-edge technology of the day in order to prevent further killings and provide a basis for a settlement between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The names included the Greek leader, Archbishop Marakios III. While eavesdropping on Makarios’ lines in order to obtain some political and military information, they recorded some other stuff by mistake - “Rather unusual homosexual proclivities,” as described by the book.
That was in 1958 and when Makarios resisted signing an agreement with Turkish Cypriots under the guarantee of Britain, Turkey and Greece in 1959 in Zurich, he had a visitor in his hotel room with some information to share. Makarios changed his mind overnight, came down to the hotel lobby where his Turkish counterpart Fazıl Küçük was waiting and signed the first treaty on Cyprus which lead the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960.
That was Operation Sunshine. That is a part of the background story about how the Republic of Cyprus with Makarios as the president and Küçük as the deputy president was established.
That British-made fragile structure began to fall apart a few years later, ultimately leading to theTurkish military intervention which divided Cyprus into two in 1974.
That was the reaction to the enosis massacre, where Turkish civillians have been murdered by greeks, commited by cyprus greeks under leadership of the genocide-committer Makarios III.

The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios.
Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis:
"I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question."
In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954.
Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951.
The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955.
Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens.
In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization.
Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action.
Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles.

They used them as human shields. And the fact that no guests in the Hotel was injured not due to the courage of UN soldiers but because of the courage and patience of the Turkish soldiers.

In Cyprus,there were a steadfast Communist support for President Makarios.Also Cypriote Communist party was faithful to the Soviet Union..In 1973 the coup of Brigadier Ioannides in Greece, a U.Sbacked general,because his opposition against socialists and communism and the subsequent coup by 39-year-old Nikos Sampson in. Cyprus used against churchman Makarios.. Sampson declared himself the leader of the Hellenic Republic of Cyprus. On July 19, 1974,Making a speech at the Council in London , Makarios said that the Greeks occupied Cyprus and that the Greek flag was flying in all Cypriot government offices and that there were great losses and that the Greeks were murdered Cypriots and more dangerous than the Turks and that the independence of Cyprus had disappeared and its people were in danger. Britain and US did not support Makarios. It's not hard to understand why .The Turkish Army landed on the island from Kyrenia Karaoğlan location on the morning of July 20, 1974.Meanwhile, on July 23, the Greek junta in Athens Greece was overthrown and N.Sampson resigned in Nicosia. During and after the actual operation The Turks where in matters where they had rightful cause with some politicians incompetent attitudes and demands in many agreements, meetings and negotiations over the years. This prevented gains for Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots in Turkey's rightful cause. The fact that the guarantor state, England, did not want to take the initiative caused many problems. With this operation, the Turkish Cypriots were protected and the annexation of the island to Greece was prevented, but even if the operation was not carried out, I think the annexation of Cyprus to Greece would never have happened.

@@asker9172 Unfortunately, because you only have a superficial view, you have fallen for the Turkish propaganda.
Firstly, in the late 1940's and early fifties, Papagos, the then Prime Minister of Greece told Makarios that Greece was not interested in Enosis (Union) with Cyprus. It was not desired by the UK/US and as Greece had two lungs, one British and the other American, it was not possible. This then set the scene for pseudo independence. As for killing Turks, please tell me how many Turkish speaking Cypriots were murdered by TMT, because they had Greek speaking friends and then claimed it was the "Greeks" that did it. Can you answer that question?
My Brother was serving in the RAF at Akrotiri Airbase. His wife and two very young sons were living in Limassol and were evacuated, at one point having to drive through a crossfire (between opposing Greeks, no Turks there). six months later he was still serving there, but his family were back in the UK. I visited him by a ferry from Haifa as I was working as a volunteer on a Kibbutz in Israel. despite this craziness the world was still mostly sane then.
To render the commentary historically accurate it must be stated that the Greek Cypriot National Guard forces, under strict orders form the Greek military government in Greece mainland, were forbitten from deploying and taking action against the invading Turkish army at the crucial initial stages of the invasion operation. The sporadic return of fire from Greek Cypriot forces occurred far too late and after the Turkish army had established a firm foothold on the island, had managed to land tanks and heavy weaponry, and after numbers of the National Guard artillery and armoured vehicles had been deliberately left exposed to be destroyed by the Turkish air-bombing. A treacherous plan had been laid and executed at the grave expense of the GCs aiming to make the Turkish advance on the island a walk in the park.

There wasnot invasion the operation was made to save main owners,Turkish citizien life.British hired island from ottomans for temporary bases when ottoman starts I ww british goverment declared to annex of island.then they brought greek people to cyprus.therefore Turks on island were real owner british and greeks invaders..
The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios.
Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis:
"I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question."
In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954.
Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951.
The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955.
Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens.
In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization.
Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action.
Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles.
Eoka militants, who massacred hundreds of Turks, 100 British and hundreds of Greeks during their action, destroyed 30 Turkish villages and caused the Turks living there to migrate.
Eoka started attacking again in 1963 and destroyed 103 Turkish villages and killed more than 500 Turks; It forced tens of thousands of Turks to migrate.
Eoka, who appeared under the name Eoka-B during the Sampson coup on July 15, 1974, this time turned his weapons against his own people and massacred 2,000 Greeks.
That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!

On August 16, 1960 Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom, after the long anti-British campaign by the Greek Cypriot EOKA (National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters), a guerrilla group which desired political union with Greece.
In November 1963, President Makarios advanced a series of constitutional amendments designed to eliminate some of these special provisions. The Turkish Cypriots opposed such changes. The confrontation prompted widespread intercommunal fighting in December 1963, after which the Akritas Plan was put into motion and Turkish Cypriot participation in the central government ceased on December 23, 1963.
In July 1974, the President was overthrown by the 1974 Cypriot coup d'état carried out by Greece, which was under Greek military junta rule.
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus began on 20 July 1974.
The territory of Greece is 1,103 Kilometers away from the territory of Cyprus. Türkiye is 70 kilometers away from Cyprus. Now I ask everyone, Who do you think is the real invader? :)

The legitimate reason for the Turkish Peace Operation in Cyprus was the increasing oppression and malicious actions against the Turkish community living there. In 1974, the coup carried out by the Greek National Guard in Cyprus, supported by Greece, endangered the lives of the Turkish community on the island and created the risk of massacre. Turkey, based on the 1960 Guarantee Agreements, acted on July 20, 1974, to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriots and to restore constitutional order.

Turkiye saved Turks as they were slaughtered by their neighbours.
Was Turkey, like Greece, under a military dictatorship at the time? In July 1974? Why did the military dictatorship in Greece stage a putsch and kick out Makarios? Earlier in 1974? Was Makarios attempting to maintain Cyprus’s total independence? How did the Turkish Cypriots view Makarios by the 1970s?
Turkey was also run by a military government, the same as Greece.
Archbishops Makarios’ views were to have Enosis, but were not in line with those of the Greek junta and their EOKA puppets, but bear in mind that the Archbishop still wanted to get rid of the Turkish Cypriots as per the Akiritas Plan which he was a singnator of.
The Turkish Cypriots viewed the Archbishop as someone who was leading the moves to ethnically cleanse the island of them.

A small correction : it was not an invasion. İt was an intervention up to the London Treaty between Greece,UK and Turkiye .
Another frozen conflict due to English colonialism. It has nothing to do with Turks or Greeks it is all about "her mayesti government".
yes.
What makes England a rich country are the colonies and the trade routes it reaches to colonies. The Suez Canal is one of the most important of these. When Egypt took the Suez Canal from the British company and made it national, England bombed the region with planes taking off from Cyprus. Cyprus is in a very important location.
The 1950s and 1960s were a period when the colonies that gained their independence came under the wings of the USSR. Cyprus was an england colonie and too important to be given to the Russians due to its location. England saw this and lit the fuse with the events of September 6-7 in 1955. Then, it pitted the two communities against each other in Cyprus with BBC broadcasts and propaganda. The Greeks committed massacres against the Turks. and Ecevit decided to intervene militarily in Cyprus to save turks.( while he was in England.)
As a result of all this, an island with two hostile communities, one of which would definitely be an ally of the British, was formed and England had two bases in the south of the island to control the Suez Canal.
Total nonsense, the first Empires in the world where in Africa and Middle East, the UK came to the whole Empire building very late on. So please tell us all what these other Empires gave the world? the British Empire gave the world all those inventions that made life easier, The Industrial revolution, Ended Slavery, spread Democracy and Laws that countries still follow now, so come on tell us all what all these other Empires did? and you say English really do you mean British?

That British film crew sure had a lot of nerves wandering around in the midst of the fighting, even talking to the Turkish troops who had just landed and might have come under fire any moment.
Viewers of ITN should be well aware that the British have a policy of creating chaos and issues wherever they go. As we all know, the Turks brought peace and ended hostilities triggered by the Greek coup. See yourself in the video how the locals are celebrating 03:38, the arrival of the Turkish troops.

The Turkish invasion of Cyprus began on 20 July 1974 and progressed in two phases over the following month. Taking place upon a background of intercommunal violence between Greek and Turkish Cypriots , and in response to a Greek junta-sponsored Cypriot coup d'état five days earlier, it led to the Turkish capture and occupation of the northern part of the island.
During the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in July 1974, the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet conducted an evacuation of American citizens amidst escalating violence. Key events include:
Evacuation Details: On July 22, with the USS Forrestal providing air cover, Marine helicopters from the USS Inchon evacuated 466 people, including 384 Americans, over five hours. The USS Little Rock and other Sixth Fleet units such as the USS Milwaukee AOR-2 provided operational support and remained on station until July 28, 1974. Americans were scattered across the island, with many gathered in Nicosia. The evacuation was ordered due to fears of renewed fighting after a ceasefire.
This operation highlighted the Sixth Fleet's rapid response capabilities during a volatile crisis.
What invasion? The Turks conquered the island in 1571.
Then Britain took it in 1870 before it was given independence in 1960
So the Turks invaded it and colonized it. So not their land. Glad you pointed that out, thanks.

When I look at the comments, there are foreigners who call the Turkish regime genocidal. Turks in Cyprus were subjected to village attacks by Greek militias, massacres were committed against Turks hiding unarmed in the bathroom, and genocides were committed against Turks because Cyprus did not become Turkified due to Greek nationalism. So I ask you, what did the international states and the leaders of Cyprus do in this situation? Turkey set foot there to ensure peace in Cyprus and stop the bloodshed. If you are looking for a genocidal person, look at your own history. especially europe
One sided as usual... I still don't understand the support of British to Turkish (I guess, interests above all) and the reporting concept within the entire video. Most of the important information was left out. And the funny thing is that, Turkish commenters are the ones complaining for biased opinions! Again!
Because UK and US had agreed on a 30% invasion territory for Turkey. Dumb Greeks thought they were the whole owner of cyprus and were once again abused by th West.
the US allowed turkey to take a part of cyprus as punishment to the greeks because some of them (i forgot who) started to sympathize with the soviets
US allowed this because they could sell arms to both nations as long as the hostility continues. And the greeks were really fool enough to be abused by the british and americans.
Regardless of the background reasons for the war, it certainly was a different type of war from today with an actual cease fire to evacuate civilians.

As for the claims that reports of Turkish bombings were just Western propaganda, there are multiple sources that documented civilian casualties, so it's not just some made-up story.
