Important to remember there is another side to the story of the Turkish "invasion" of Cyprus
There are different perceptions of reality and historical narrative to the Cyprus conflict. Here is an example of the often neglected mainstream Turkish Cypriot recollection of what happened on 20 July 1974
While many see the presence of Turkish troops in northern Cyprus as an illegal occupation, the majority of Turkish Cypriots in 1974 saw Turkey's military operation as a liberation
Turkish Cypriots were also made refugees during the 1974 Cyprus conflict by Greek militias
For there ever to be a chance of peace in Cyprus, there needs to be an acknowledgement that both sides suffered. The Cyprus Problem did not start with the arrival of Turkish troops in July 1974, but long before that
