The Turkish army invaded Famagusta because the Turks have no respect for other cultures, religions or history itself.
Through the centuries, Turks are and have been guilty of various counts of genocide, oppression and contempt for human rights, often denied or covered up by the corrupt goverment. Also on schools the Turks do not educate their children in the true history, instead thy twist the facts.
No other country in the world is so nationalistic as Turkey, muslim nationalistic, with a dangerous expansionistic policy.
It was a true crime of the Turkish army to invade Famagusta, and a true crime of the rest of the world to let them do so.
