National Guard

During 1964 inter-communal conflicts, General Georgios Grivas (known as ‘Digenis’, see category EOKA 1955-59) returned from his exile in Athens to Cyprus and organized the National Guard to be entirely manned by Greeks and Greek Cypriots. The aim of the National Guard was to coordinate in a more effective way the Greek Cypriot defense against the Turkish Cypriots. The National Guard was the main actor during the 1964 inter-communal conflicts at Tylliria area, in the north part of the island.
