Is that what we call now when you are fleeing a warzone while bombs fall from the sky?
Population exchanges were forced by the Turkish army a year later in 1975
They forgot the one sided 1975 population exchange where ottoman subjects are transferred from mainland to newly conquered territory
You’ve been conquered by the looks, shame really because I remember going to pafos*? In 2012 and it was beautiful
This map is misleading since it does not show the situation in the cities (e.g. Famagusta) where most people live. And it shows large Troodos areas as Greek even though they were/are uninhabited or very sparsely populated. There are better maps that also show the mixed villages.
İ like how the fact that the EOKA systematically killed off entire households & turkish-cypriotic politicians with the help of the greek military is conveniently omitted.
İnstead it just says “removed makarios”, which is true, but far from the whole story.
Turkey didnt step in willy-nilly, they steppes in because if they hadnt, genocide against the Turkish cypriots would’ve been likely.
