You claim the intervention was planned, yet you ignore that for 11 years (1963–1974), Turkish Cypriots were forced into enclaves covering only 3% of the island’s land.

If Turkey wanted a planned occupation, would they wait a decade while their kin were being systematically excluded from the government they helped found.

Regarding your point on the violence of 1974:

You cannot mention the suffering of 1974 without acknowledging the EOKA-B coup. It wasn't Turkey that overthrew the constitutional order; it was the Greek Junta. Greece tried to Annex the island through military. Turkey intervened to prevent unification with Greece, which would have resulted in the total expulsion or assimilation of every Turk on the island.

While the 1963 violence was intercommunal, it was the Turkish Cypriots who were pushed out of the administration, the police, and the military. One side had the state apparatus; the other had enclaves.

When you say Greek Cypriots suffered way more but ignore the horrific massacres of civilians in Maratha, Santalaris, and Aloda, where entire villages of Turkish Cypriots (including children and the elderly) were executed and buried in mass graves by EOKA-B. Or the Tochni massacre, where nearly all Turkish Cypriot men in the village were executed.

If the North is a puppet state and the South truly wants peace, why did the North vote 65% YES to reunify in 2004 while the South voted 76% NO?

The Greek Cypriot legitimate concerns about military aggression ring hollow when they are the ones who rejected a UN-brokered peace plan that would have seen the withdrawal of troops.

Turkey remains because, historically, when they weren't there, Turkish Cypriots ended up in mass graves.
