To answer Oracles question "At what point did Turkey tell the GCs who were fighting the coupists that it was there to assist them?" ... right at the very begining, having asked Britain for assistance (not given) and having asked Greece to stop (refused).
Well it answers my question in as much as saying ...
At no point did Turkey communicate with the GCs who were themselves already in the process of terminating the coup.
Turkey did not seek alliance with the GCs ... it did not intervene to assist, but it invaded to gain for itself.
Turkey may have communicated with US, and UK and even Greece ... but at no point did they communicate with the GCs who were at the forefront of the resistance to the coup.
So why did Turkey not only by-pass the GCs but also join in killing them?
And 1963 didn't happen and the murders did not happen and the isolation did not happen and the coup did not happen...How many chances did you expect to get
Are you capable of answering the question Zan .. or are you just showing us your face?
Otherwise kindly leave it to observer ....
