The Cyprus Problem >

From ACIG.org > Europe & Cold War Database > Cyprus, 1955-1973 > In the 1950s Cyprus was a British crown colony, when the Greek majority of population not only began demanding independence, but also the “Enosis”, the reunion, with Greece. The British ignored these demands, in turn causing an Emergency that lasted for five years. This conflict was barely over when fierce antagonism between the Greeks and Turks was to result in aircraft being used in an indirect conflict which is, actually, very much going on until today. > Oct 26, 2003, 14:13 > http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_454.shtml

Europe & Cold War Database > Cyprus, 1974: Turkish Point of View > This story has been prepared on the basis of an account published in the Turkish Magazine “Savunma ve Havacilik”, by retired Korgeneral Hulusi Kaymakli, who served as Commander of the Turkish 2nd Tactical Air Force from 1973-74, and as the Commander of the Air Force HQ Staff 1974-75. The Turkish Air Force’s historical office has provided many of the pictures. It must be stressed that this account has not been written for the purpose of any political aims but solely as a historical military event of some significance. The author has visited most of the places which are accounted for in order to investigate matters himself and has cross-checked all events as closely as possible. > Oct 28, 2003, 04:33 > http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_297.shtml

It describes the “Greek Point of View” regarding this engagement and was provided to ACIG.org with permission from the author. > Oct 28, 2003, 04:36
