Years: 1974 - 1974
July
As Sisco negotiates in Athens, Turkish invasion ships are already at sea.
A last-minute reversal might have been possible had the Greeks made concessions, but they have not.
The intervention begins early on July 20, 1974.
Three days later, the Greek junta collapses in Athens, Sampson resigns in Nicosia, and the threat of war between NATO allies is over.
The Turkish army, however, remains on Cyprus.
