  • Cyprus marks 50 years since Turkish troops invaded the Mediterranean island, with comments from the Turkish and Cypriot leaders demonstrating the stark divide that remains. The invasion led to the conquering of one-third of Cyprus and displacement of about 40 percent of the population.

    Turkiye is a guarantor country in Cyprus. The Greeks committed genocide against the Turks and the Turks carried out a peace operation to protect their compatriots from massacre.

    You guys like it or not, truth is after Türkiye's movement peace come for both sides South and North. Yes, the island was divided into two, yes, thousands of people lost their lives on both sides during the intervention, but the result is clear. Peace. Even though our Southern friends still do not want to accept this, Türkiye's intervention saved them from the junta yoke and made their democracy work. Another fact is that a united, single Cyprus cannot go beyond being a dream. You have to get used to it. Cheers!

    What happened? Turkey grabbed the chance and invaded the island of Cyprus occupying it ever since.

      It has never belonged to Greece. Greece took it over by killing innocent Turkish Cypriots . They were warned by Turkey to remove the Greek soldiers from Cyprus or Turkey will invade. Turkey invaded because the Greek soldiers were not ordered to leave but to dig in for a Turkish invasion. Turkey whooped their arse . . and here we are today with a divided island 😉🇨🇾❤ 0:20
