1963...69 inter-communal fighting?
WHat a life Without a Wife ?
The confrontation prompted widespread intercommunal fighting in December 1963, after which Turkish Cypriots ceased to participate in the government. Following the outbreak of intercommunal violence, many Turkish Cypriots (and some Greek Cypriots) living in mixed villages began to move into enclaved villages or elsewhere. UN peacekeepers were deployed on the island in 1964. Following another outbreak of intercommunal violence in 1967-68, a Turkish Cypriot provisional administration was formed.

NB: By the way, highlighted portion counters some false TC claims that they were "FORCED" out of the government.
GR suddenly, when it suits your purposes, you quote US of bloody A (oops) as a reliable source. I am no longer surprised at you. Selectivity is the word I used earlier?

Deniz, Halil's question was very simple... the period/s of inter-communal fighting. Would you like some more links to prove that?
GR, I lived those years. Many of us TCs lived those years. I know what I know and not always what I read about.. I appreciate you sadly lived through the turmoil of 1974, but what about the earlier years. You were still a twinkle (pardon) in your fathers eye.

Especially the events surrounding the events around Kophinou and Ayios Theodoros have poignant memories for me. I consider them my home ground as I have lived there and my cousins and friends got murdered there. So, no thanks I do not need those doctored links.
