Turkish Invasion
In 1959, Britain, Greece, and Turkey signed a “Treaty of Guarantee” insuring the independence of the new state, the Republic of Cyprus. Both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots committed to abandon their claims on union (énosis) and partition (taksim), respectively.
Five days after the coup against President Makarios III, on July 15th 1974 by the EOKA B’ paramilitary organization, Turkey invaded Cyprus with 40.000 soldiers, claiming her role as guarantor and with the official aim to protect the Turkish Cypriot population. The invasion took place in two waves, between 20th to 23rd of July and 14th to 17th of August. As an end result the Turkish forces occupied 37% of the Cypriot land, and the island was divided in two parts, the northern Turkish Cypriot and the southern Greek Cypriot. The Greek Cypriot population had significantly more losses in comparison to the Turkish Cypriots. However, each side counted in thousands the number of dead and missing, both soldiers and civilians; and thousands had to be internally displaced following the partition and the formation of the two ethnically homogeneous areas.
