The Athens Supreme Court, not the most pro-Turkish organisation I can think of, support me:“….On 15th July 1974, General Yoannidis, together with General Yorgitsis, the Commander of the Greek Regriment in Cyprus and General Yanakomidis organized a coup d’etat against Makarios with other 102 Greek officers. The President’s Palace in Nicosia was kept under fire by heavy weapons but President Makarios survived this attack through a miracle. After Greek officers violated the Cyprus Constitution, Nikos Samson was appointed as the new president of Cyprus Republic. Turkey intervened in Cyprus using its legal right, on 20th July 1974.”
Greek Supreme Court of Appeals 21 March 1979.
This refers to an instant in time of 20th of July. There from the so called intervention which lasted for over a month, turned out to be clearly an invasion and occupation, and there are many international bodies confirming it to be so.
Sooner or later, Mama Turka will be dragged yelling and kicking to the ICJ of The Hague, to prove the legality of its 1974 invasion and ever since occupation of 36% of Cyprus, as a pre-condition to the continuation of its EU accession process! There you will see pathetic creatures like Observer turning yellow like a lemon, for they know dumb well the invasion was in violation of the UN Charter and thus illegal by international law!
And for those cucumbers that do not know the facts, the UN Charter -by virtue of its 103rd article, sets itself as the supreme international treaty that rules over everything else, and nullifies all the provisions of any other international agreement or treaty (such as the pathetic 1960 "treaty of guarantee") that contradict with the provisions and terms of the UN Charter!
For those pathetic vegetables like Observer, this is what article 103 says:
"In the event of a conflict between the obligations of the Members of the United Nations under the present Charter and their obligations under any other international agreement, their obligations under the present Charter shall prevail."

According to the UN Charter, Turkey had an obligation to refrain from intervening unilaterally, and to have first allowed the issue of Cyprus -as it emerged after the CIA backed Junta's coup against Makarios, to be discussed in the UN SC (as Makarios had registered it on the 19th of July 1974;) so that a resolution would have been obtained calling for the end of Greek junta's intervention in Cyprus and the return back to his office of the elected president of the country! Turkey rushed quickly to cease the opportunity to undercut the UN's initiative, because what it cared was not the establishment of the constitutional order in Cyprus, as it claimed to have done, but the crapping and occupation of another UN member state's territory! All this was made contrary and against the provisions of the UN Charter, and for this no pathetic Greek supreme court ruling will save the day for her, when the issue will one day reach the International Court of Justice! The Turkish invasion and the occupation will firmly and squarely found to be illegal, and the court will order Turkey to withdraw from Cyprus and pay for all the damage it had caused to the Cypriot people, both GCs and TCs alike! The Day of Judgment is nearing for all of mama Turka’s violations of international law and human rights in Cyprus!
