Well I reckon Akritas and Eoka were in response to the long standing sentiments behind this :-
Turkey believes that the status quo should be maintained in Cyprus. If this is to be upset then the Island should revert to Turkey. It should be made quite clear that any attempt to change the status quo by roundabout means is not compatible with the desire to keep friendship with Turkey intact. Those who wish a change in the status quo should take that point into consideration. Otherwise the trust and confidence of the Turkish people will be shaken.

The Greek Cypriots had suffered 300 years of Ottoman dominance, they were not prepared to let that happen again. If you can't see that then it's YOU that does not understand the Cyprus problem.
