I really don't remember any GCs appreciating the landing of turkish troops in 1974, which, I think for two reasons, they should. Read along:

- coup in greece

- GC nationalists got the courage; coup in cyprus

- turkish troops landed on the north shore, occupied 37% of the island, showing that they could occupy the whole, but stopped.

- democracy back in cyprus, and then in greece because of that failure to annex the island to greece

- EEC (then EU) rewarded greece, because they got back to democracy, and accepted as a member

- turkey -I don't know why- let greece back to NATO, which was expelled because of the coup

So, because turkish troops landed the island, greece got back to democracy, and be accepted to EEC and NATO! You're welcome!
