Abstract:

The Republic of Cyprus was established in order to collect the two communities in Cyprus, namely the Turks and Greeks, under the umbrella of a state. It soon became clear that this state could not bring peace on the island because Greeks attempts for the Turkish not to use the rights guaranteed by constitution and violence and pressure on Turkish society. The military coup took place on 5 July 1974 and EOKA leader Nikos Sampson became president. This situation paved the way for a justified military intervention by Turkey, the guarantor country on the island. This operation, which was called as the Cyprus Peace Operation and which resulted in success, has enabled Turkish society to live safely under the roof of its independent states. Turkish Cypriots founded the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on November 15, 1983 because of the biased attitude of the international community and the increasing oppression of the Greeks who refused to compromise and the violence they had imposed on the Turks. Ignoring the rightful struggle of the Turkish Cypriots and all the oppression they faced, the international public not recognizing this state and held the Turks responsible for the separated structure on the island. This situation caused the Turkish Cypriots to live an isolated life on the island.
