The UN reply was categorical, the UN charter is on top of the agreements and Turkey did not have a right to military intervene.
2)Barbaric acts from the government? The only barbaric acts where from the two organizations TMT and EOKA-B, which as you may know TMT killed and terrorised many TC.
And to repeat thousands of GC were brutally killed, a thousand and a half dissapeared and a third of the population were forced out of their homes property and forced into poverty, living in tents while looking for their "dead/dissapeared" relatives. Furthermore the few that were left in the north were harrased/beaten until the north was completely ethincally clensed. So who is the victim here.
Finally back on subject when will Turkey be ready? How come the ROC is ready? Is the threat to Turkey greater than the threat ROC faces? Is the "cat" afraid of the "mouse"?

first, Turkey did not invade. Turkey used her peace keeping operation right given by the Zurich and London agreements when the facist Greek junta started killing operations on TCs and also GCs as well and Turkey saved also GCs as well. Also this just intervention was stated by Greece too.
Court of Cassation in Athens passed the following judgement on March 21, 1979 ( Decision No: 2658/ 79 ).
“ The Turkish Military interention in Cyprus, which was carried out in accordance with the Zurich and London Accords was legal. Turkey as one of the Guarantor powers , had the right to fulfil her obligations. The real culprits....... are the Greek officers who engineered and staged a coup and prepared the conditions for the intervention"
second, u are mixing up the events i think. Because they were the TCs who were killed, raped, dissapeared, forced out from their homes between 1956-1974. please do not make Grivas and his men upset who did the best killing operations.
Have you ever read the "Akritas Plan" which caused the destroy of a republic and caused the partition planned by its own president and by some of its higher position officers or ministers such as yiorkadjis(same time Akritas), Klerides. also your present beloved leader Papdoc. this was the first example in the history that a president and his men set some plan and obliterate a state. Then you can understand who caused the present situation. because if you read it you can relaize the truth that the present situation is arise from Greeks but not from Turkish. then you can rethink on the issue that you follow by now.
