@dvci, I know! Inconceivable, ain't it?
Read about it here. You are a Turk. You probably know best. Find here links to articles in the Turkish press: http://antifon.blogspot.com/2011/07/beyond-turks-worst-nightmare.html
To make it easier for you,
the stated objective by Turkey was "to incite violence". Most of us know, except the Turkish society at large which is kept in the dark, that the objective was to achieve in due time TAKSIM.
Indeed they did incite violence, in 63/64 about 600 Cypriots died, 2/3 tCypriots. This served Turkish designs extremely well. It provided the excuse for self-segregation, a policy not at all different from BDP/DTK's latest move.
As far as the claim that "thousands of tCypriots died thus the invasion was justified, well, PURE & HEINOUS PROPAGANDA. I repeat, up until the dawn of July 20th 1974, when Turkish planes were bombing Cyprus, NOT ONE tCypriot had died. After the declaration of war by Turkey, atrocities were committed by both sides, but the numbers tell the story. 6.000 greek Cypriot civilians died & 90% of the population of now occupied Cyprus forced away from their homes!
Who committed the atrocities?
dvci, is the same thing starting in Turkey too or is it just me exaggerating?

Imagine, JUST IMAGINE, if Cypriots OR the west, were bombing Ataturk monuments and government buildings in Istanbul and Ankara. Would we be inciting violence between Turks and Kurds? Who would the Turks blame first?
It's a rather easy game to play I guess. The problem of it is serious lack of ethics, a word whose meaning escapes your leaders.
I hope Erdogan, if indeed the great leader purported to be, seeks the truth, shares it with Turks, finds the courage to apologize to Cypriots and the world and unilaterally removes his army and illegal settlers from my country.
