‘1974: Turkish Invasion of Cyprus Captured Up Close’
On This Day 1974, Turkish forces invaded Cyprus by sea and by air.
ITN’s Michael Nicholson was at the scene when Turkish paratroopers dropped onto the open plains near Gönyeli, on the road between the capital, Nicosia, and the coastal city of Kyrenia.
Turkey’s invasion came five days after the Greek-backed Cypriot coup d’état on 15 July, and led to the partition of Cyprus along the UN-monitored Green Line, which still divides Cyprus between the south and the Turkish-occupied north to this day.

Five days before this , the Greek Military Junta organised a coup detat in Cyprus. That was the spark that lit this fire
It was not invasion .fucking liars. It was peacekeeping operation
Israel has the right to defend its citizens. Just like Turkey did here, but the Turks are hypocrites 😂
Hhahahahhahahaha this is invasion and what they had done in Iraq Syria Afghanistan Libya ……what was that they had literally destroyed that countries……..u think peoples are fool hahahahaha u are continuously making your American and European public fool from decades …..u all are telling them lie
I can see everybody speaks whatever,but as a refugee,i say you have no Idea what you are talking about.The only thing turkey does is killing during the years.They organise with CIA and invade Cyprus finally in the year 1974.The film you are watching is pure propaganda.The water given to soldiers,is from turkish Cypriots,who prepared the field for parachuters ling time ago.
US provided arms to Turkey to invade Christian Cyprus…
All of Cyprus belongs to the Turks. The Ottoman Empire leased Cyprus to the British for 100 years, but the British annexed the island of Cyprus in World War I. Greeks have no rights in Cyprus. The entire island belongs to the Turks.
islam is a dangerous cult. Repent!
John 3:16-21
People are going to hate this comments,but the turkish army on pick on weak opponents in the last 50 years,they attacked Cyprus weak opponent,they attacked and helped Azerbaijan during the first with Armenia, Azerbaijan are useless,then helped them again and they finally won mostly from turkey picking on a weaker Armenia, during sadam hussein Iraq,turkey never had the balls to invade Iraqi territory they were scared , after Sadam got kicked out by the yanks they did,same for Syria, during syrian civil war then the turks had the balls to enter syrian territory,same for Libya,no balls during Gaddafi after yes they had balls to use syrian and Turkish mercs in Libya,the story here is the Turkish military only picks on weak opponents they know they can beat.
look muslims defending turkey 😂 but cry about paleatine 😂
if u abdols, dont call this invasion then dont nag about palestine 😂
Respect & don't break the treaties & there won't be a fight. Same with Ukraine, you guys broke that treaty too.
So who really is the sly monger starting trouble, where there should be none.
Without any resistance they celebrate Anandris
Ah so this is like how Palestine is now Israel?
This has to be an BBC story …
🇹🇷🔪
salute from Pakistan to Turk brothers
Considering that today's Greece was founded and expanded with Turkish massacres and ethnic cleansings, it is necessary to understand the concern about Cyprus.
The massacres in Mora, Crete, Thessaly.
There is not a single Turk left here.
Moreover, they were not subject to population exchange or migration.
Absolute massacres.
You see these as a struggle for independence.
However, these are only some of the many great massacres that took place in the Balkans, the Caucasus, and even Anatolia.
The number of lives lost in these massacres exceeds the only legally recognized genocide, the Jewish Holocaust.
It even rivals the Native American genocide.
The sad thing is that instead of being ashamed of this genocide, you are proud of it, claiming it to be legitimate.
What you call a war of independence is, as you know, the simplest, most vile, most dishonorable massacre of civilians.
You tried to do this in Cyprus.
You got it all wrong.
Now, the period of Greece's expansion through massacres and ethnic cleansings is over.
Wake up, come to your senses.
Now the multinational empire you were once a citizen of has collapsed.
And you will cry looking at what you lost while wanting everything.
Istanbul, Izmir etc.
Now you can only come here as a tourist.

the English journalist covers the events from the Turkish side. it is clear who they supported. for everything they have done and are doing until today, the fullness of time will come and the English will pay for it.
Speak about ENOSIS and EOKA-B and what Nicos Sampson did.So everybody can understand why Turkish army landed Cyprus
not an invasion – a move to save the Turks from the fascist Greeks in Cyprus – who wanted union with mainland Greece and the murdering Colonels – the dictators who ran Greece.
50 years invasion and occupation which was planned and supported by the British and Americans on the cost of Greek Cypriot lives. Turds your time is coming to pay for your crimes.
Poor greek propaganda. Go Turks!
Battle Royale from 1974, in color
in the comments they defend Turkey but do not mention that Turkey is a genocidal country, if not ask the Armenians.
