Are you drunk re GR???
Your links prove nothing but the opposite of whatever you are trying to say!
quotes from your links:
"Serious incidents occurred in the Tylliria area on 4 April 1964, at Ayios Theodhoros on 22 April, and in the area north of Nicosia from 25 to 29 April. A number of UNFICYP soldiers were killed as they sought to carry out their duties during continued scattered fighting in May. A major outbreak of fighting occurred from 5 to 8 August in the Tylliria area, reducing the Turkish Cypriot bridgehead there to the village of Kokkina. This was followed by aerial attacks on government forces by Turkish fighter aircraft, and led on 8 and 9 August to meetings of the Security Council, which adopted resolution 193 (1964), which, inter alia, called for an immediate ceasefire. The governments of Cyprus and Turkey accepted the ceasefire without conditions."
"In November 1967, the Cyprus police sought to resume the practice of patrolling Ayios Theodhoros, passing through the Turkish Cypriot quarter, and informed UNFICYP that the National Guard would, if necessary, escort the policemen. On 15 November, heavy fighting broke out, and the National Guard overran most of Ayios Theodhoros and part of Kophinou. The Turkish government protested to the Secretary-General, who requested the Cyprus and Greek governments to bring about a withdrawal of the National Guard from the areas it had occupied. The withdrawal was carried out on 16 November. On 18 and 19 November, there were several Turkish over flights of Cyprus, and armed clashes spread to the Kokkina and Kyrenia areas."
Of course there are a lot of gaps in between lines. June1964 EOKA-B leader Grivas returns to the island to to take charge of the National Guard! Less than 2 months after August 1964 his forces attack Tylliria and Kokkina using artillery, armoured vehicles and a batallion of National guard, backed by that many mainland Greek forces! All that against a handful of TC students (around 350-400) who returned to the area by sea and joined the local TCs in the defense of their villages. They were merely stuck/imprisoned there from day one anyway!
After Grivas attacks them with all his might and is about to erase the villages + occupants using far superior fire and manpower, Turkish jets bombed the shit out of them (admittetly using Napalm) to save the lives of the local TCs and the students. TCs rejoiced, while GCs cried murder and displayed the dead burnt by the napalm!
My condolences... BUT! Even the most retarded adult would know that had it not been for the jets bombing there would definitely have been a much greater atrocity where besides the 500 fighting men some 1000 civilians (women, children and elderly) would have been killed or buried alive - as had always been the case with EOKA B attacks on TC villages.
Guess what happened in 1966? ELA!
"Joint communiqué signed by the Governments of Greece and Cyprus that any solution excluding enosis would be unacceptable, February 1966."[/size]
And what happened next:
Military coup in Greece, 21 April 1967
So OK, TCs can live with that - but hold on now we have:
"November 1967 Fighting between National Guard under Grivas and Turkish Cypriots in the Kophinou area leads to Turkish ultimatum; accepted by the Greek Junta, which withdraws troops and Grivas from Cyprus."
Now, Kophinou was a lot smaller than the Kokkina area back in 1964, with a fraction of the TCs that were there. In other words, a very small and weak TC enclave on the main Nıcosia-Limassol road sticking in Grivas' eye like sour thumb. So he deploys a fucking BATALLION of an army against some 50-100 TC local fighting men, who never took the offensive against GCs!
"On 15 November, heavy fighting broke out, and the National Guard overran most of Ayios Theodhoros and part of Kophinou."
What left behind were many women, children and elderly dead as well as most of the men! This lead to Turkish jets flying over Cyprus again + a Turkish ultimatum; accepted by the Greek Junta, who withdrew troops
and Grivas from Cyprus, November 1967.
Because the TCs decided to stand up for themselves when about to be attacked by fully equipped and more numerous National Guard led by EOKA B supporter/leader Grivas whose sole aim in life was ENOSIS, the whole affair was not one sided was it not? You really do make me laugh sometimes GR!
So! Your exact point please?
