Long story short

Cyprus wanted Enosis (annexation) with Greece and Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus supposedely wanting to "protect" the Turkish Cypriots. The island split up and till this day Turks remain in the North side (which nobody in the world recongnises except Turkey) despite the protests from the Turkish Cypriots asking the Turks to leave.
