CYPRUS The proportion of Turks to the total population of Cyprus is similar to that of the French Swiss in Switzerland or the Tamils in Sri Lanka and is rather smaller than the Protestant population would be in a united Ireland. After Cyprus became independent in August 1960, the period up till 1974 was devoted to attempts to contrive some acceptable method of power-sharing that would not involve such a traumatic upheaval which could in practice only be undertaken by the exercise of physical force by the Turkish army. The determination of the Turks that Cyprus should not be a similar story with a similar ending half a century later was to be a major factor in determining their policy. www.cyprus-conflict.net /narrative-main.htm   (5375 words)
