Hello ukturk.
I agree with suntanman, your post is very interesting, and like you say, it all started way before the Turkish invasion, I served in Cyprus, from the end of 1955 to the beginning of1957, I was stationed at Kantara, and a lot of the time our job was trying to protect Turkish villages from EOKA, I don't know if I spell it right, but one of the villages we used to protect was "Komi Kebir" like I say, I don't know if that is the right spelling, I apologize if it is not, we used to guard the police station there, so you are right it started back in the 50s, as a British soldier serving there , all I can say is, we had absolutely no problems from the Turks, only the Greeks where doing the ambushing and killing, as for the British attitude to the invasion , I cannot understand the government of the time not getting involved, as it turned out years later, we done exactly the same thing in the Falklands, for exactly the same reason.
