Who started the Turko-Cypriot Conflict?
In 1974 Cyprus was an island nation with a democratically elected government and with a population of citizens of both Greek and Turkish origin. In 1974 the Cypriot National Guard overthrew the democratically elected government of Cyprus. Turkey claimed that the Cypriot National Guard was controlled by a Greek junta and that the governmental overthrow amounted to an "invasion" of Cyprus by Greece. Turkey then 'retaliated' (in support of the overthrown government) by invading Cyprus by land and naval forces which, in turn, brought full scale retaliation from Greece, which did likewise. I suppose it depends on which side you support as to which scenario you subscribe to. --------------------------------------- However if you look at the BBC reports and go to the National History Library, you would see that the greek cypriots joined Greece in 1953 to try and take over the country. The English government sent troops the keep the peace but they were also killed by the greek army from Greece who also over threw the priminister of Cyprus in order to take control. Turkey entered the country to save the Turkish cypriots from being killed and as of today the northen side is still not allowed to trade and fund themselves unless Turkey keeps supporting them. 1963 a document was signed recognising 2 separate states which now the English and greek government ignores.
