History

Historical Context

The Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, 1974, followed a coup by the Greek-backed National Guard, aiming for union with Greece. Turkey justified its military action under the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, leading to the occupation of approximately 36% of the island. This division established a long-standing conflict, complicating regional stability and influencing Turkey's military interventions, including recent proposals for Gaza.
