You only need to listen to Samson to understand that he was a low IQ idiot. This is why he was chosen by the Junta to be made "president" after they got rid of Makarios. The position was proposed to others as well, but nobody accepted. Only Samson did.
Samson was the puppet of the Junta, and the junta was supported by the CIA. The main aim of the coup was to bring down Makarios, who he was considered as the "Red Monk" of the "Cuba of the Mediterranean" by the CIA.
Makarios was already at the UN in the US from the 19th of July, declaring the illegality of the coup. And in Cyprus the resistance fighters were fighting against the coup.
Another fact is that no TC was killed during the coup. Samson was convicted for treason and was later send to jail, so even if he said what Insan claims, he did so only to harm Cyprus. The fact is that there is a Turkish minority in Greece as well, and they were not "annihilated" during the many years that junta ruled Greece. On the contrary it is the Greek minorities in Turkey which were annihilated, like the cases of Imbros and Tenedos islands for example.
Unfortunately, the TC minority instead of helping the resistance to defeat the coupists, they found this as a good chance to put into action their plans they had since the 50s, and along with Turkey started to annihilate all Greek Cypriots from 1/3rd of their own island. Here we are talking about a true annihilation that did in fact take place.
The coup was not an excuse for what Turkey did. Many coups happened in Turkey as well, and nobody invaded Turkey to protect the Greek or Kurdish minorities there. This is why the UN issued resolutions demanding the respect of the sovereignty of Republic of Cyprus and the withdrawal of all foreign troops.
The occupation of Cyprus by Turkey during the last 35 years is illegal, criminal and inexcusable.
