Doesnt that makes sense though? Most states have national invading plans for the entire neighbouring states. The issue is other states giving them the opportunity. If Eoka never gave the chance by couping Makarios, Turkish government would never had the chance to justify its invasion, after all nothing happened even after Bloody Christmas.
Americans even had invasion plans for Brits. Its only meaningful Turkish government has an invasion plan where there is ample evidence of ethnic violence that one “ethnicity” directly relates to the state itself.
They where several fights and killings on the island between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots, Turkey once interfere in 1964 and bombed with Napalm bombs an area so the Turkish Cypriots wouldn’t lose the area they controlled from Greek Cypriot forces, they where many victims from the bombings
When the Greek hunda with Eoka B made the coop on Makarios democratic government, Turkey saw it as a threat for the Turkish on the island, since Eoka B wanted Enosis (connection) with Greece, and they found their chance to invade on the island taking the North side 38% of land that belonged to Greek Cypriots, and bringing most Turkish Cypriots to live to the 38% land in the North, although their number was much lower than the Greek Cypriots, after a few years they brought more people from Turkey to colonize the North side taking the Greek Cypriots properties and land
