On 15 July 1974, elements of the CNG staged a coup against the President Makarios. Two days later the leader of the pro-Enosis movement, EOKA-B, Sampson. At the time in prison, and usually described as a “rather naïve person of limited political ability…that happened to be in the right place at the right time” by Greek sources, Sampson was known as fierce Greek nationalist full of hatred for Turks.

Without surprise, the Turks saw this development as a threat for their minority living on Cyprus, and – on 16 July – the Turkish military was put to alert for an invasion of the island.

Thats an even bigger threat If after 307 posts you do not see the threat posed against the TC population of Cyprus, by the actions of Eoka-B and the Greek Junta against the normal GCs and TCs, I'd suggest you are wasting your time here. Good-bye.

Think what he may be trying to say is that geopolitical interests of Turkey on the island would have made her invade anyway. One day Hassan from Kaimakli might have caught a nasty cold from his GC barber and Whoop....helloooo Turkiye.

threat for their minority my ass

And without further comment:

From Archbishop Makarios III address the UN Security Council on Friday 19 July 1974:

"As I have already stated, the events in Cyprus do not constitute an internal matter of the Greeks of Cyprus. The Turks of Cyprus are also affected. The coup of the Greek junta is an invasion, and from its consequences the whole people of Cyprus suffers, both Greeks and Turks. The United Nations has a peace-keeping force stationed in Cyprus. It is not possible for the role of that peace-keeping force to be effective under conditions of a military coup."

The coup was just an excuse for Turkey to put into action the plan Turkey and TCs had since the 50s.

In fact in 1974 no TC was harmed by the coupists until after the Turkish invasion had started.

I don't disagree, it was a good excuse, but excuse nevertheless. This was proven when the Turkish troops instead of "protecting" the minority, they started killing innocent Greek Cypriots by the 1000s, raping under age girls, and performing ethnic cleansing over 1/3rd of Cyprus.

In fact even after the coupists lost power in both Cyprus and Greece, Turkey instead of obeying the UN resolutions and withdraw from Cyprus, on the contrary they continued with a second invasion killing and ethnically cleansing even more innocent people.

So good excuse, but I hope you do not expect anybody to believe that it was anything else but an excuse. Hitler had used the same excuse when he invaded Czechoslovakia, to supposedly protect the German minority there.

So learn the difference between the excuse, and the real reason which was the partition of Cyprus and the stealing of our land, just like TCs and Turkey were planing for decades.

You can believe whatever you wish Piratis thats your right but 99%of the TCs thank god Turkey arrived when they did.

So you deny that partition has been the aim of TCs and Turkey since the 50s and that the coup was simply a good excuse to put that plan into action?

That excuse could have been convincing in July of 1974 (although even then it was not, hence the UN resolution calling for the respect of the sovereignty of Cyprus), but after the atrocities of The Turkish army, the ethnic cleansing, the occupation of Cyprus, the importation of 10000s of Turkish settlers, the declaration of the "trnc" (all against international law and UN resolutions) do you believe anybody doesn't understand that the coup was simply a good excuse and nothing more?

Even you know this, but obviously it wouldn't serve your interests to admit it.

If you want to look at it that way: Turkey had an "excuse" since 1963. But at no point until than had Cyprus been designated as subject to ENOSIS to that extent which meant that the TCs are completely lost. The standing fact is that Cyprus was not annexed to Greece and the TCs weren`t harmed because of the Peace Operation (checking your dates might help you understand this better) which at the same time ended our years long suffering in Cyprus in the hands of a fascist and criminal GC leadership. That is why we celebrate and commemorate with great happiness and praise the honorable day which they have arrived. You and Greece should join us as it ended the junta that massacred your people and stopped also your annexation to Greece, and caused the restoration of the elected government in Greece.

Our fate as the TCs can never be put in the hands of the GC leadership once again which back than was in the business of annexing Cyprus to Greece and today is in the business of Hellenizing Cyprus. The security of the TCs is top priority that will be safeguarded by an autonomous TC administration with a seperate zone. Any settlement is going to be tailored around these very clear and uncompromisable principles.
