In the event, it was Turkey that took the first practical steps. In June 1958, repeating the operation in Salonica, its intelligence agents set off an explosion in the Turkish Information Office in Nicosia. Once again, a fabricated outrage – no one was actually hurt – was the signal for orchestrated mob violence against Greeks. Security forces stood by as houses were set on fire and people killed, in the first major communal clashes since the Emergency was declared. The upshot, clearly planned in advance, was the eviction of Greeks from Turkish areas in Nicosia and other cities, and the seizure of municipal facilities, to create self-contained Turkish enclaves: piecemeal partition, on the ground. Its organisers could be sure of British complaisance. The day before the rampage – Harding was now out of it – the new governor, Labour’s future Lord Caradon, had assured its leaders that the Turkish community would enjoy ‘a specially favoured and specially protected state’ under future British arrangements. A few months later, the colonial secretary was publicly referring to Cyprus as ‘an offshore Turkish island’.

The murders of innocents and the destruction of GC properties were organized in Turkey who incited the Turkish minority in Cyprus with broadcasts calling them to murder GCs and start a civil war.

Soon after initiating the conflict the Turkish minority started to pretend to be the victim, with their leader lying and claiming that 1000s of TCs have been supposedly killed during the clashes.

It is a fact that it is the Turkish minority who initiated the conflict under the directions and the support of Turkey. They did this just months after they formed their plan for the partition of Cyprus. The inter-communal conflict was part of the partition plan of Turkey and its aim was to show that the TC minority could not live peacefully along with the rest of Cypriots and that therefore separation was required.
100s of innocent people from both communities died during this conflict, but obviously the ones who have the most responsibility for it are those who planned and initiated this conflict because they believed that such conflict would serve their aim of partitioning Cyprus.
