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.

Greeks has better pilots..its been proven in nato exercises seeing the Turks have bigger land troops and air force.....Turks keep saying how they kicked Greeks ass..well they should do some home work and see how many times Greeks kicked their ass......Dont count Cyprus they only had 50,000 national guard with no air force.

[Janissary1991]

Turkish 192nd and 161st squadron Pilots became the best Pilots in 8 of 11 NATO Aviation exercises. 3 Tiger Meets, 2 Red Flags and 3 Anatolian Eagles Gold Medals...

Turks and Greeks are fighting Eachother since 445AD and They fought against Eachother 42 times. Turks won 33 of these wars and Greeks won 9 of these Wars. We see everything my friend. Read the books of Lewis who is a foreign historian making searches about Turkic Nation...

[Janissary1991]

BY THE WAY only 47000 Turkish Infantry performed operations in Cyprus 1974. 1200 Tanks and 120 Jets Supported Turkish Troops while 320 Turkish Jets and 3000 Turkish Tanks didn't join the operation.

74 Greek Jets supported Cypriot Guards by the way...

[Janissary1991]

What I'm trying to say is that Turkish Armed Forces didn't attack Cyprus with full force. More Armored Units solve the problems ;)

Bunlar oluyorda noluyor dağda gene şehit veriyoruz

1. Turkey has huge and good but not experienced army

2. Very poor nave force against the Greek

3. 1 Greek pilot = 5 Turkish ones (something that is proven between NATO's exercices where two best pilots of them were both Greek)

4. Turkey is a 2nd world country ( eastern turkey 3rd world) and this is good for Greece

BYE

@mr280zxt

Indeed it is envied. You can ask any turk chick that desperately wants to get the hell out of your back-ward islamic nation and flee to Greece, Europe anywhere but turkey. Where men beat up their women and boast about it at cafes afterwards of how energetic they feel for doing so. And how they consider turk men fat & ugly and prefer Greek guys any day of the year! Oh the irony! :D Trust me I know, from experience at our islands during our hot Summers... ;)

@mr280zxt

Athens is the only EU capital without any official operating mosques and that wont be changing any time soon. But I guess you're not dark-skinned and slit eyed after all... ;) Opps, sorry for hitting a sensitive nerve there! ;) But that makes you a mongrel.

For an Islamic nation of pigs, it sure is funny & ironic that you don’t eat them! :)) Lol!

[mr280zxt]

@alxxz Greece as an envied land?...r u fucking stupid?...I would never live in Greece even if you pay me mega salary...I don't need to live with fucking corrupt people. By the way you have Imam's reading ezans in mosques in Greece...million of muslim population there...I guess you are not alone huh idiot...There are Turks in Greece everywhere///remember Ottoman Empire?...Your mom was probably fucked by Ottoman Turks in the past...Thats why you are so angry...Fuck you asshole....
