The answer is yes.
The evidence is provided by the late Dr Fazil Küçük (1906-1984) who proposed the attached map in the year 1957 (RE: Partition of Cyprus), found in a booklet, currently available from the Cyprus Consulate office in Toronto, Canada.
The population stats for year 1960 indicate the Turkish Cypriots at 18%, Greek Cypriots at 77% and other nationals at 5%. Link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus
Not sure which elementary school Dr Fazil Küçük attended (born in Nicosia) but simple math tells me, the 18% TC population does not add up to the 50% claim of Cyprus land, as the attached document indicates.
Therefor, since this TC proposal was impossible to meet via peaceful negotiation, war was needed to achieve it. Hence the 1974 war and it's result as depicted at the bottom of the attached document.
Clearly, Dr Fazil Küçük's premeditated wishes came true as planned. Not exactly what he had in mind but pretty close, don't you think?
Are you all insane?
Take another look at the document I posted. And I ask again:
On what grounds Dr Fazil Küçük proposed to divide Cyprus 50%/50% when the Turkish Cypriots were only 18%?
Can any TC on this board explain this "crazy" demand? Anyone? Speak up! Don't give me any more BS but a reasonable explanation to debate on. Pay attention to the map again. Famagusta, Nicosia, Keryneia, Morphu and Polis are included!!!
Furthermore, is this partition proposal considered a "realistic basis" for negotiation? Who, in his right mind would agree to entertain such an outrageous proposal?
Dr Fazil Küçük knew that his proposal would not fly but convinced Turkey to implement his proposed partition with any means nesessary.
Dr Fazil Küçük proposal was a "silent" declaration of war.
The 1974 coup was the mere excuse to achieve the ultimate target. The whole thing was indeed PREMEDITATED, no doubt.
Wakey wakey...........
That map was drawn probably by some colonial power. Did you notice the straight line drawn accross the island? What does it remind you of?
Look at the maps of the middle eastern countries, Libya, Egypt. Typical of the boys from Eton I'd say. Definitely not Dr. Kucuk. He would have had more sense than that. The better maps show a line accross the dividing line through Nicosia.
