Many of the dead GCs were murdered by Greeks/GCs pro Enosis and during battle with the Turks. It was not a barbaric invasion it was a very necessary intervention and they did the right thing to partition the island, if they hadn't more GCs and TCs would have died. But you are so blinded by your hatred of TCs/Turks that you fail to see this. Is it any wonder there has been no solution to Cyprus after all these years? And there won't be the type of solution GCs want-it won't happen.
Intervention = 0 dead
6000 dead = Brutal, barbaric, ethnic cleansing Invasion

There is no double that there are many bad Greeks and bad Turks, and many good ones. Unfortunately in the case of Turkey the bad ones are the ones who rule the country and brainwash their people with their hate propaganda and illegal claims against other countries and nations. Greece had this problem too during the junta rule, but it only lasted for some years. Greek Cypriots had Grivas, who although was not elected and did no represent the majority he still had some influence. In the case of Turkey though, these kind of bad Turks rule it for decades, and I don't see this changing any time soon.
