Now I suggest everyone reads the articles and then you will see why some views the preceivied responsibilies of Britain might be mistaken. Indeed on one Analysis britain should probably have stepped in against the coupists.
I suggest that if anyone thinks any of the Analysis are wrong that they say so but why and by reference to the evidence, not just parrot fashion repeat by rote the mantra of conspiracy theories.
No! Britain tried to wiggle out of her responsibilities once Turkey
first tried to invade in 1964 and Britain suddenly realised what they had committed themselves to with the guarantee.
Cowardly Britain's lack of
effort in 1964 was the reason Makarios asked for the UNFICYP.
