This question should be directed at the United Nations. This institution, whose principles we claim to uphold, claims that the solution of the Cyprus problem should entail Bicommunal, Bizonal Federation with political equality of the two communities in the central government. The UN has intrpreted this as meaning "effective participation in all the organs of the federal government".

“3.Demands an immediate end to foreign military intervention in the Republic of Cyprus that is in contravention of the provisions of paragraph 1 above;
4. Requests the withdrawal without delay from the Republic of Cyprus of foreign military personnel present otherwise than under the authority of international agreements, including those whose withdrawal was requested by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, in his letter of 2 July 1974;“
…and all subsequent resolutions thereafter in favor of Cyprus, because the criminal US and UK couldn’t care less about international justice, so the now aging Makarios threw in the towel and foolishly attempted to negotiate Turkey’s blackmails!
Cyprus is one of the world’s greatest international miscarriages of justice…
