Nice to see a vid on a conflict rarely spoken about, makes you wonder how long Cyprus will stay divided. Also most people probably don't even know that there's still a DMZ on Cyprus. Anyway, top tier content as per usual Major, thanks for the vid and have a good one.
I don't know about the South but there's still even road patrols and UN troops on guard in towns in the North, it's odd to have such a normal place be so militarized. Glad you enjoyed the video, have a good one too.
That city in the DMZ is really eerie. It was such a nice vacation spot before it got closed down. There are videos of Urban explorers dodging UN patrols and looking at all the run down ruins, it's very interesting.
Spent ten minutes in the comments and I did not see much of Turks and Greek fighting. Pretty nice, just guys on all sides enjoying the footage and mourning the loss of life. Respects to all who fought.

@@Fallen7X7 It's the same, But the scariest moments didn't get there. Most of all I remember the phrase "The fourth I am wounded, the armored vehicle is disabled". Spitting blood in parallel.
Man i am big fan of you from Turkey i was not expecting this,u made me so happy and amazed as your one of the first subscribers high quality content as usual,u chosed a GREAT song btw its one of the most popular turkish songs in 70s. Peace out
After the canceled landing operation, which was canceled twice, the eoka militants (Greeks) -who is living on the island- played the song "Bekledimde Gelmedin" in order to make fun of the Turks . After the paratroopers land on the island on July 20 on the radio the song "Bir Gece Ansızın Gelebilirim" was playing.
498 soldiers ! ..actually ...is NOTHING , compare ..the half island . ! .. WELL DANE boys ! .. We , G.Cypriots , we had about 900 soldiers , killed in action ...about 1600 . missing persons ( POWs. civilians , women's , children's ..and old people , )..and 2.500 been merdered by your braves ..!
Also it's quite interesting that the Turks before the invasion used -to live- all over the island. After the war all the Turks had to move to the northern 36% of the island leaving the majority of the island under Greek-Cypriot control.

If it wasn't for majorsamm I would've never known about many conflicts, not because they aren't interesting or important, but because I can't find something if I don't know it happened. Thanks a lot
Yeah, outside of turkish and greek people there is not much people know about Cyprus conflict even though it is so important for Mediterranean countries and racial discrimination
I did my military service as an armored personal carrier technician in Turkish army in 2021 :)) there are many m113 apc in this video. We currently use this carriers I messed with the M113 a lot. they are so tired because of they aged. But I watched this video and I proud of these veterans they are so young in this video :))
Reading the description, have you really stood on the places of where these events took place? That's pretty cool man, I enjoy that you manage to make history interesting enough for us to look more into the topic.
Yeah, a lot of the North has stay relatively similar to the state it was in in 1974 up until the last few years.

@@noahhughes2501 I never noticed that. I just remember that the point in the DMZ where I went through (maybe that is the only place you can actually go through from Cyprus to Turkey) had a little cafeteria or the like still in use across the street from an abandoned building.
As a turk I have love for greek people I don't hate them because fight is over I am seriously sorry for lose of both sides because civilians died for nothing and soldiers died for doing their jobs I only blaim and hate who started the chaos we are friend we are neighbours we live in same geography love and respect greece from turkey🇬🇷❤🇹🇷
As a Greek Cypriot I say this, i and many others love the Turkish Cypriot people and the Turkish people in general. We hate the governments and forces that took away our peace and split us.
My grandfather was a Captain that times (He served 30 years and left army as a Colonel) He said, he lost many classmates there and if anyone know that M46 tank on the top of the montain... My grandfather's friend was that tank's commander! That really did suprised me when i heard it. All the heroes who fought on cyprus, may your souls rest in peace.
The invasion on other country ,is an act of WAR CRIME .! ALL and EVERYONE ,who participated in such an act .. are nothing but ..CRIMINALS . all they manage ..is to kicked the local population out from their hones, villages and towns . 180.000 people expelled out from their homes . The 1/3 of the islands population . 1500 missing persons .! 4.500 ..deads , and people been . murdered / .executed .! for what actually you people are proud for ..?
My grandfather was on the opposing side, he told me many of the combat losses of the turks where like zombies and where on drugs and where most likely criminals that the turks allowed to serve the army instead of jail time. There is more proof of that because turkish “soldiers” executed a greek Cypriot artist because they where demanding money from him. Also there is a report that the turks took almost 100 pow and killed them all on a beach
Greetings from turkey.🇹🇷 I follow your videos closely and have been waiting for a video about Cyprus for a long time. Finally my dreams come true. I couldn't hold back my tears while watching...🖤
Wow this song is from an old turkish film it fits perfectly. I'm Greek also and think this is a good song portraying. Atilla and aphrodite..best describes the Cyprus situation
Visited Limassol in 2014. DMZ looked like a city left at peace in a time capsule, save the barbed wire and checkpoints. I pray for peace in Cyprus. Outstanding work, as always
Great video! My Dad’s in the Australian Federal Police and was deployed to Cyprus for peacekeeping operations there for sometime before I was born. He still has his UN beret to prove it!
The Turkish forces equipment at that time was kind of a mix of everything, Thompson SMG for NCOs or officers, G3s or FAL for riflemen and MG3, Bren or GPMG for machinegunners.
@@Moneo_Artaid Eoka's aim was to make the island greek and clean the turks, they even worked with the british, first you are saying they tried fighting the british then you said to kill the turks, what type of propaganda is this?

Yet another Major Samm video I'm going to need a little background on because I've never heard of it before. Really bringing out the obscure conflicts lately Major, I'm enjoying the content.
@@MajorSamm u win a new sub again (its my moms account and i subscribe you on 2018 and i like and sub to you videos from my fathers account and my moms account and my own account)
@@MajorSamm the epitome of betrayal ... if the Turks did not have the help of Britain and NATO .. there was no case to step on the sand of Cyprus ... in combination of course with the then Greek government that were all sold agents ... they never had the morale to win greece, they always won by conjuncture ... with serial conspiracies and prostitutes
as someone who is half turkish and half greek cyp it’s more of a bitter feeling especially when i did research on the background of the song. my dad moved to australia (where i currently live) in the 70s to escape the war, as my uncles stayed and fought. i am often made fun of and shamed when i have to tell other turks i am half greek and they frown upon it and personally for me it’s childish. it was not something we started. it was also a very long time ago. nonetheless it has not stopped me from embracing my greek culture, i have many friends who are greek and turkish myself. and to my brothers on both sides. do not anger each other with bitter, sorrow memories. we are very alike in many ways.
I have a friend her name is Nil, her father is Armenian from Cyprus and mother is Turkish, she has citizenship from both sides because her father is Turkish Armenian, she has said Cypriot greeks are extreme fanatic racist ultranationalists and very mad
We are all the same genetically - dna studies attest to that, so you are a true Cypriot. When a Greek and a Turk sit down for a meal, like many of us did, we become family for life. We Greek Cypriots have much to answer for our neglect of the Turkish Cypriots from 1960- 1974. I’m sorry your father had to leave.
My grandpa served in this war on the Turkish side, thank you so much for making a video about this conflict Sam! :D I really appreciate your work, keep on bringing good stuff man.
Astonishing footage of very rare records but in remarkable good quality! Im amazed as always how you pick together the clips for 1 video you release! must be a lot of research and editing. I appreciate your work alot and im always looking forward for your next videos!
My grandpa was in the Turkish Navy as a doctor at the time, he didn't see any conflict though, if it had escalated more his ship would've been deployed but his ship was just docked
We also use it as both Atilla and Attila. The reason why it is mostly written as Atilla is that it is difficult to say Attila in Turkish. Because in Turkish, two consonants usually do not come together in the same syllable.

Man i am big fan of you from Turkey i was not expecting this,u made me so happy and amazed as your one of the first subscribers high quality content as usual,u chosed a GREAT song btw its one of the most popular turkish songs in 70s. Peace out
I was feeling the need for some old footage with good music added. Thanks Samm!
Glad I can help, thanks for watching.
After the canceled landing operation, which was canceled twice, the eoka militants (Greeks) -who is living on the island- played the song "Bekledimde Gelmedin" in order to make fun of the Turks . After the paratroopers land on the island on July 20 on the radio the song "Bir Gece Ansızın Gelebilirim" was playing.
During the Paratrooper landings in Gonyeli half of the 150 Paratroopers got shot while dropping or got stuck on carob trees
@@Chorophilax I didn't know this, thanks.
@@Chorophilax At the end of the operation, 498 Turkish soldier lost their lives.
498 soldiers ! ..actually ...is NOTHING , compare ..the half island . ! .. WELL DANE boys ! ..
We , G.Cypriots , we had about 900 soldiers , killed in action ...about 1600 . missing persons ( POWs. civilians , women's , children's ..and old people , )..and 2.500 been merdered by your braves ..!
Also it's quite interesting that the Turks before the invasion used -to live- all over the island. After the war all the Turks had to move to the northern 36% of the island leaving the majority of the island under Greek-Cypriot control.
Aphrodite a greek god and Attıla was a Turkic Commander and King in European Hunnic Empire.
Yes ,
and all the story ..is how , "Attila , manage and .." DO "..Aphrodite" ..
Attila was not turkic. Just Hun. Origins of Huns is unclear. They can be mongolic, uralic, indo-european and turkic.

Well they're all in NATO gear, both Greeks and Turks
That's not FN FAL. That's H&K G3
@ΣΣΦΕ FN FAL is Belgian
G3 is German
US may supply most of the gear but they're not the only nation in NATO contrary to what the yanks like to think

Yeah, a lot of the North has stay relatively similar to the state it was in in 1974 up until the last few years. I've got photos of myself standing in spots where, when I was looking for footage, saw tanks parked on.

The invasion on other country ,is an act of WAR CRIME .!
ALL and EVERYONE ,who participated in such an act ..
are nothing but ..CRIMINALS .
all they manage ..is to kicked the local population out from their hones, villages and towns .
180.000 people expelled out from their homes . The 1/3 of the islands population .
1500 missing persons .!
4.500 ..deads , and people been . murdered / .executed .!
for what actually you people are proud for ..?
My grandfather was on the opposing side, he told me many of the combat losses of the turks where like zombies and where on drugs and where most likely criminals that the turks allowed to serve the army instead of jail time. There is more proof of that because turkish “soldiers” executed a greek Cypriot artist because they where demanding money from him. Also there is a report that the turks took almost 100 pow and killed them all on a beach

Homesickness (Abroad)
To whom will I tell my sorrow, o clouds?
Those who we regarded as friends have backstabbed us
And then there is the wound of homesickness, worst of all
Tell me, are there news from the homeland?
Are these rains perhaps the tears of the one I love?
I am burning inside, o my love
My wound is deep
Bring me some news
From my delicate beloved
Clouds, say hello to my love
Tell her that the day of reunion is near
If fate tore us away from one another
What can I do abroad all alone?
Tell me, can one live far away from love?
I am burning inside, o my love
My wound is deep
Bring me some news
From my delicate beloved

Hi major Sam thank you very much for the clips cheers from New Zealand
Bro !
Do you know anything about ..CYPRUS..?
as someone who is half turkish and half greek cyp it’s more of a bitter feeling especially when i did research on the background of the song. my dad moved to australia (where i currently live) in the 70s to escape the war, as my uncles stayed and fought. i am often made fun of and shamed when i have to tell other turks i am half greek and they frown upon it and personally for me it’s childish. it was not something we started. it was also a very long time ago. nonetheless it has not stopped me from embracing my greek culture, i have many friends who are greek and turkish myself.
and to my brothers on both sides. do not anger each other with bitter, sorrow memories. we are very alike in many ways.
I have a friend her name is Nil, her father is Armenian from Cyprus and mother is Turkish, she has citizenship from both sides because her father is Turkish Armenian, she has said Cypriot greeks are extreme fanatic racist ultranationalists and very mad
We are all the same genetically - dna studies attest to that, so you are a true Cypriot. When a Greek and a Turk sit down for a meal, like many of us did, we become family for life. We Greek Cypriots have much to answer for our neglect of the Turkish Cypriots from 1960- 1974. I’m sorry your father had to leave.
My grandpa served in this war on the Turkish side, thank you so much for making a video about this conflict Sam! :D

We also use it as both Atilla and Attila. The reason why it is mostly written as Atilla is that it is difficult to say Attila in Turkish. Because in Turkish, two consonants usually do not come together in the same syllable.
