If you read books that are not biased about the issue.. written by real people who experienced the events from first hand. You would see that 1974 was an NATO plan from the beginning to create a frozen conflict an divide the island. Check arms transfers between US and Turkey between 1970 and 74.. Frigates, Transport Planes, Helicopters. Makarios or Cyprus was courting with Soviets and Junta in Greece was out of control.
US and UK wanted to divide island and place NATO troops to the island and cut possible Soviet access to the Cyprus. People who fought along side Turkish Troops said, maps were already drawn when the troops came, brits have it, UN have it and TAF have the maps. Of course US was a party from the beginning even though propaganda machine create heroic story. And US embargo was just a show off to prove neutrality. What happened was our mistake, we wanted to save more villages, more regions and get out of US plan, Varosha never been in the map that is why it become a huge obstacle in legality of TRNC.. TRNC itself was not in the plan, we supposed to be federate state. We didn't follow their plans and they punished US till eternity. Think how much hustle or problem we could have avoided or how TRNC would prosper if it were a legit state. Don't exaggerate Greeks too much and don't underestimate Turks, US and UK were slightly on our side we messed up things and they still want to impose their way of solution to US.. Look how Taiwan is today, despite it is unrecognized.. US supports it.
FYI, today Greek Cypriots don't like Greece too much neither they want to unite, they are just dependent as they can't face Turkey alone.
Only way to stop extinction of Turksish Cypriots is obeying international law and solving the issue piece by piece, correcting mistakes.. Not challenging to the West or International Law.
