The Turkish Army has retained a permament military presence in Cyprus since 1960, along with Greece, originally in the form of a garrison, authorised by the Cyprus Constitution of 1960. This is the order of battle of those forces, prior to 1974:

Gφnyeli Grubu (Gφnyeli Group) * 2 Piyade Bolugu (2nd Infantry Company) * 3 Piyade Bolugu (3rd Infantry Company) * Agir Silah Bolugu (Heavy Weapons Company)

Ortakoy Grubu (Ortakoy Group) * 1 Piyade Bolugu (1st Infantry Company) * 4 Piyade Bolugu (4th Infantry Company) * Alay Kh. Srv. Bolugu (Regimental HQ Company)

In July 1974, Turkey invaded the north of Cyprus after a coup by the Cypriot National Guard against the democratically-elected President, Archbishop Makarios III. Turkish forces involved in the 1974 action included: * An airborne (parachute) brigade (Brig.Gen. Everen) * A commando brigade (Brig.Gen. Demirbag) * A Special Strike Force Landing Brigade (Brig.Gen. Tuncer) * The 39th Infantry Division (Maj.Gen. Demirel) * The 28th Infantry Division (Maj.Gen. Polat)

Since the 16th of August 1974, the Turkish Army has retained occpuational control of the northern 37% of Cyprus.

[edit] Officers and Unit Structure

The current commanding officers of the Turkish Army are: * Chief of the Turkish General Staff: General Yaşar Büyükanıt * Commander of the Army: General İlker Başbuğ

The Cyprus Turkish Forces Command is an independent command from the rest of the Turkish Army, and is equipped with two mechanised infantry divisions, as well as supporting external brigades and regiments.

  • @GEORGE79P

    Angelina Jolie fucks brad pitt every day...

  • Replying to Jannisary1991

    You have strong armed forces but not as strong as you claim

    Turkish armed forces are not in the top5 of the world

    here are the countries that have armed forces strong enough to annihilate within a day

    USA(n),UK(n),France(n),Russia(­n),Iran(n),Germany(n),China(n)­,(probably)Japan,Spain(n)

    (n) stands for "nuclear weapon stock confirmed "

  • 5)We Admit that USA, Russia and China have stronger Armies than Turkish Army not their training but their Numbers enable by their economy.

    6)As I said; France, UK, Germany, Spain, Iran and Japan have weak Armies except French and British Nukes. And I repeat that Germany,Spain,Iran and Japan don't have Nuclear Weaponry.

    7)You counted many weak countries becouse of lack of information where you didn't count India which is a Country with an Army as strong as Turkish Army and has Nuclear Weps...

see all

  • @GEORGE79P Would you like to borrow some money so you can buy some toilet papaer to wipe the shit off your mouth. YOU FUCKING GREEK RETART!!!!!

  • @Janissary1991 ur rught... they look a bit like the dutch multi purpose vessels :D

  • You can have all the toys in the world ,but if you dont have the training they may as well be made of bread dough. The USA are a great example of this . Your economy is shit , where did all the money come from ?

    Modern warfare is 70% intelligence 20 % experience and 10% courage ! By my understanding your 90% short of any kind of ranking.

    Your not allowed into the EU as a consequence of your human rights violations . You really think your population is going to die for your country? LOL
