In 1974, Turkish troops invaded the Mediterranean island after Greece staged a brief coup five days earlier. Turkish Cypriots in the North, view today's anniversary as a liberation from the Greek-speaking majority. Greek Cypriots in the south view the date as a catastrophe that led to mass displacement.

Let's not forget that in 2004, the Greeks said no to the reunification of the island and were rewarded with EU membership. The Turks said yes, they are not members of the EU.

@@sefagundogan1595 Anan Plan was a resurrection of Apartheid in the Republic of Cyprus. The Anan Plan for Cyprus included (a) an unfair voting system (Turkish votes would carry "more weight" than Greek votes) and that is the definition of Apartheid, (b) it would legalize the illegal settlers from Turkey to Cyprus to distort the demographic majority of Greeks on the island, (c) The illegally occupied land, given back to the Greeks was close to nothing, (d) what a ridiculous and awful flag (the one with the three stripes blue, yellow, red).

@@georgioso.4203 pretty fair, through lenses of Greek community of the island of course. Another question then. Is there any critic in Greek community about the fact that an attempt to reunificate Cyprus with Greece in 1974 led to 'illegal occupation'. If Turks would not have been intervened, what would be with Turkish minority in the island? Not pretty things, I guess. So thanks to today's status quo, no one is dying and Greek side of the island is in EU. As of today, Turkey has nothing to lose. No state has recognized the state in the North, no one will I guess. After 50 years, it would be very hard for both Greek- and Turk- Cypriots to unite in one-state. Turks will say we dont have weight in state apparatus, Greeks will say that Turks have more weight than they should have. It is not a easy job to satisfy both Greeks and Turks on the island. Maybe status quo is the optimal one. What do you think?

This is a great example of one-sided journalism. The issue is a conflict; therefore, both sides should be given the opportunity to deliver their messages. This is not about Erdogan or his policies; using his negative image to convey the issues about the topic is not helpful at all. I cannot see any coverage of the Annan Plan, referendum, or crimes against Turks before and during the coup in Cyprus. As a taxpayer I am just diasappointed.

Annan plan was a plan that was about to give disproportionate priviledges to Turk Cypriots. It would be a suicide for Greeks to support it. Its ridiculous hhow Turks present it like "it was a time when Greece prooved that reunification was not what they wanted". Face reality. Annan plan was totally in favor of Turks.

I agree with posing those questions. This report especially on the mark of the 50 years should have been done more thoroughly and with much greater respect to the events. It does not represent any side, except superficially the position of the Cypriot and Greek leader, and it is paired with correspondence from a person who clearly possesses minimum knowledge about the issue. On the other hand, there has been a mention of the coup by Greece, which of course is not nearly enough to grasp the context of the situation, but the perspective is rightfully primarily from the side of the victim, which is the Republic of Cyprus side. I believe that a more extensive dive in the issue would be more representative, including the realities on the ground right now, both from the GreekCypriot and the TurkishCypriot perspective.

Intercommunal violence means that both Turkish and Greeks were killed in them. The equivalent of Turkey occupying 36% of the island because the 19% of the population was "in danger" is equally fair as Greece saying that they would claim half of Turkey to save Greeks from Turks that are massacring them inside the Ottoman Empire (before 1918). And actually, the Greeks being killed were much more in the 2nd case. And this is an argument that Greece used to support the Conquest on Anatolia (That Turks consider as an absolutely agreesive strategy). Not to mention that Greeks were living on these lands (both Cyprus and Anatolia) wasy before Turks come, but thats an other topic.

According to the United Nations 1960 agreement, Cyprus administration was given to 3 states: Türkiye, Greece and England. But the Greek Terrorist organization EOKA attempted genocide against the Turks! Many Turks, including children, were killed and severely tortured in the genocide, which went down in world history as "Bloody Christmas". The United Nations intervened in the incident, but EOKA did not stop and continued the genocide. Thereupon, Türkiye, one of the 3 Granator states, used its right to intervene and declared " It organized an operation under the name of "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye did not go to invade the island, Türkiye went to the island to protect the Turks.Since the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, peace has prevailed on the island. That's why we're not going anywhere!

@@universalspaceexpeditioner8259 Than here more information for you and for everyone.I am writing for those who read here; The first secret negotiations for Eoka, a terrorist organization established to destroy the Turkish people in Cyprus and bind the island to Greece, were held in Athens on July 2, 1952, under the chairmanship of Makarios. Following these meetings, a "revolutionary council" was established on March 7, 1953, and the founders of this council took the following secret oath for enosis: "I swear before God to keep what I know and will know about the Enosis case a secret, even under torture and at the cost of my life. I will obey all orders given to me without question." In the first months of 1954, secret arms shipments to Cyprus began with the knowledge of the Greek government, and the terrorist named Grivas secretly landed on the island on 9 November 1954. Eoka upon the directive of Greek Foreign Minister Stefanoplus; It officially went into action by detonating its first bombs on April 1, 1951. The purpose of eoka; His aim was first to expel the British from the island, and then to destroy the Turkish people with a total destruction move and to connect the island to Greece. However, without waiting for the British to leave the island, attacks against the Turks began on June 21, 1955. Grivas, who writes in his memoirs that he decided to train and arm the youth organization called Peon, founded by Makarios on 22 November 1954, thus emphasizes that Makarios was behind Eoka. It is known that Makarios resolved the issue with Greek officials during his various visits to Athens. In his letter dated June 4, 1959, Grivas states that Makarios invited him to Cyprus to manage Eoka, and explains that the church provided financial aid to purchase weapons for the terrorist organization. Makarios, who summoned Grivas on March 27, 1955, personally gave the order to take action. Learning that Makarios was the political leader of Eoka, the British arrested him on March 9, 1956 and exiled him to the Seychelles. Eoka militants, who massacred hundreds of Turks, 100 British and hundreds of Greeks during their action, destroyed 30 Turkish villages and caused the Turks living there to migrate. Eoka started attacking again in 1963 and destroyed 103 Turkish villages and killed more than 500 Turks; It forced tens of thousands of Turks to migrate. Eoka, who appeared under the name Eoka-B during the Sampson coup on July 15, 1974, this time turned his weapons against his own people and massacred 2,000 Greeks. That's why the Republic of Türkiye named the operation it carried out on the island as "Cyprus Peace Operation". Türkiye saved not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also the innocent peaceful Greeks!

Let's make one thing clear. Cyprus was not invaded for the sake of land grabbing. Cyprus was an artificially created country. The treaty that created Cyprus designated signatory countries TÜRKİYE, UK, and Greece as guarantors of the country's independence. Within a year the Greeks violated the constitution that provided specific rights to the Turkish population and thus began the road to the goal of unification with Greece by cleansing the Turks. Türkiye used her right as a guarantor and intervened after the other guarantors refused. The Greeks never intended to recognize and honor the treaty and the constitution that created CYPRUS. After 50 years they still don't.

Türkiye did its best in 2004 to hold a referendum to unite the island. The Greek Cypriots refused to unite, the Turkish Cypriots overwhelmingly voted for a reunion. Even though I may understand the sentiments which led the Greek Cypriots to refuse the Annan Plan, this was a missed historic opportunity. Such opportunities are rare. Identity politics has consistently proven to stagnate progress. What we need in conflicts is realpolitik and I do believe that the Turkish government back in 2004 was involved with that. In light of the above, I believe it is hypocritical to blame Türkiye about its continued presence on the island. Many people forget (or the media deliberately does not inform the public) about the massacres Turkish Cypriots were subjected to before Türkiye's military intervention on the island. I have heard first-hand stories from my Turkish Cypriot family and friends about the atrocities they had to endure after the Brits put Turks and Greeks against each other. We can discuss Türkiye's mistakes in the course of its presence on the island, but this one-sided, anti Turkish discourse is sickening. Get off your high horses! On another note, what is UK still doing on Cyprus? Send the British occupiers away first. Then you can complain about Türkiye's presence. I hear you thinking: one is a "legal" occupation, the other is not. Then challenge that concept of legality. With the law in hand humans suffered and continue to suffer injustice. I am for a united Cyprus. But with Türkiye not being a member state of the EU (and I have lost all faith in this), it is highly unlikely that Cypriots will unite. The facts on the ground will not change without a good compromise. There's always a price to pay and something to gain. Realpolitik will lead the way to a good solution.

Israel controls Jerusalem. And Jerusalem has never been the Capital City of any other people besides Israel in history (The city has a long history...before King David). Cyprus would be considered Asia/Asia Minor geographically. Culturally "European " because Greeks are on it, and Britain won it in a treaty post WW 1. It's a mess.

They're still not on the same page today, some are racists who call us 'Mongols' while others say we are Turkified Greek Cypriots. Make up your minds first among yourselves. If Turkey didn't intervene there would be no Cypriot Turks left. Unlike Palestinians, Cypriot Turks were lucky to have Ecevit to come to the rescue. The West would sit by and watch the slaughter like they are doing now with Palestinians for 8 months. There was intercommunal fighting in 1963, 1967 and 1974 when Turkey came and there has been peace ever since. Why can't we live side by side like the Dominican Republic and Haiti? What's the big deal if there is lasting peace?

Years ago, the two cultures lived in peace until Greeks began committing genocide against Turks. Türkiye didn't invade the island; we intervened to save the Turkish Cypriots from Greek atrocities. Throughout history, no country has granted us liberty, and we have always had the confidence to fight for and win what we want. Hence, despite America's pressure at that time, we decided to save the Turkish Cypriots and deployed our military forces to Cyprus. As always, our military forces did what was needed; we saved Turkish Cypriots' lives and established the border. Period. Furthermore, I disregard any online criticism. We have always proven our strength on the battlefield.

Such a one sided report laced with a slant on the Greek version of events. As usual, this was a problem rooted in British interference. Britain bought the island from the Turks and when the Greeks started playing up in the 50's and 60's they gave it to the Greeks. Under Makarious, there was ethnic cleansing of Turkish people who lived there. There were human rights violations on their freedom. With approval from Kissinger, Turkey acted to protect Islanders of Turkish backgrounds from these crimes. The world continues to see Turkey as the aggressor but in post WW2 history this is the only use of force by a nation that has been successful as it was done with the will of the people who needed protection. Greeks always say 'they stole our land'. Turkish occupants who were relocated to the south suffered too.. Come on DW; can we have some news that is impartial and based on facts.

Do you know what was the ethnic proportion when Britain bought the island from the Ottomans? About what ethnic cleansing are you talking about are you talking about systematic reduction in the population of the Turkish speaking Cypriot in Cyprus? The systematic right violation was not only apply to the turkish speaking Cypriot included and a large propostion of Greek speaking Cypriot with specific political opinions at that time if you try to understand what was happening in Cyprus that time. Kissinger only wanted to keep Turkey in NATO does not care at all for the citizens of Cyprus.

The legitimate reason for the Turkish Peace Operation in Cyprus was the increasing oppression and malicious actions against the Turkish community living there. In 1974, the coup carried out by the Greek National Guard in Cyprus, supported by Greece, endangered the lives of the Turkish community on the island and created the risk of massacre. Turkey, based on the 1960 Guarantee Agreements, acted on July 20, 1974, to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriots and to restore constitutional order.

@legel93 Ай бұрын

I am Greek and Cypriot. There was EOKA A who fought for independence from the British colonial occupation of the island. EOKA B wanted to unite Cyprus with Greece. Turkish and Greeks have fought since a thousand years with the fall of Constantinople and so on. What happened on Cyprus is not just about Greeks and Turkish and Cypriot, I see no one is mentioning the divisive influence of the British who were stoking behind the scenes conflict so they can keep the locals fighting each other while they still occupy the island with scattered opposition. Even though I am Greek my belief is that British helped the Greeks in the past because they wanted to put a dent in the Ottoman empire for many reasons such Iragi oil and more. The British stoked tensions that lead to violence and hate from both sides and finally war. I wouldn't be able to identify as a Greek person if my ancestors didn't fight a bloody war of independence. The answer to the Cyprus division depends very much on the perspective of whom you ask. A Greek Cypriot who was living in a majority Greek Cypriot state of course does not like it when Turkey invades to create an independent state for Turkish Cypriots, I guess this is what happens when we could not reconcile living together. Finally, I hear from older people there used to be constant fighting in the past before the split. Now there's none.

Years later after the merchant's wife died, he married the Greek girl and they came to the British colony of North Carolina. The Turks have not changed from Ottoman days.
