The Cyprus dispute stems from the 1974 Cypriot military coup d'état executed by the Cypriot National Guard and sponsored by the Greek military junta, and the ensuing Turkish military invasion of the island, and hence the presence of Turkish soldiers, despite a legal reinstatement of a stable government.

Initially, with the occupatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
