  • You’re confusing Cyprus conflicts. You might want to read your own link.

    The Emergency was Cypriot guerillas fighting to end British colonial status.

    The Turkish invasion was in 1974, after the fascist Greek junta that had just couped their own coup government tried to annex Cyprus with, you guessed it, a coup. The Turkish justification was that it was defending Turkish Cypriots from the Greek junta which, okay, why’d you keep the territory then?

    The conflict collapsed the Greek junta btw, which is why Greece is a democracy again.
