Can you please clarify what u mean by 'not having the power to attack'?Greeks were attacking and turkish were defending
Well actually if you go to

u would see that it wasnt really always like that:On the night of 7 June shortly after 10 p.m. a bomb explosion outside the Turkish Press Office in Nicosia set off the worst outbreak of racial strife which the island had seen since British rule. The explosion served as a time signal and an excuse for Turkish rioters to invade the Greek sector of the old town. The Greeks sounded the alarm by pealing the church bells; in the violent clashes which took place, two Greeks were killed and much Greek property was ransacked or destroyed by fire. Shortly beforewas placed under curfew but the fighting went on until 3 a.m. The original explosion did little material damage. And circumstantial evidence strongly pointed to the fact that the bomb was of Turkish origin. This, however, did not deter Turkey from making a formal protest to Britain the next day alleging that the Cyprus administration had failed to give the Turkish minority adequate protection.midnight the troops were called out to assist the police to restore order and to man the 'Mason-Dixon' Line, the rough boundary separating the Greek and Turkish sectors.

Yiannis,
I personally believe the truth of the above explanation but can you also give me more examples?
Yes, I think that turkish generally didnt have the power to attack. Even when you analyse the unfortunate event in Gonyeli( I am very sorry about that by the way), it happened in Gonyeli.
You can find many examples that greeks attack other turkish villages but not the vise versa.
By the way "yarrak kafali" is not a nice term if you dont know. It means dick headed. So dont use it to a turkish.
