Turks vs. thinking

Caleb ,

If you want to pontificate here on the Cyprus issue , the only thing you need is to re-tell faithfully the official Turkish lies. Just one question for you . If the Turks started the war on Cyprus because Sampson overthrew Makarios , then why didn't they withdraw the moment they learned Makarios had survived and remained in power ? As far as I remember no 40-000 strong Greek army was invading Cyprus between July , 15th-20th , to justify the 40 000 men strong Kemalist hordes invading a neutral non-aligned island to grab 40% of its territory for 18% of its inhabitants.
