You’re confusing Cyprus conflicts. You might want to read your own link.
The Emergency was Cypriot guerillas fighting to end British colonial status.
The Turkish invasion was in 1974, after the fascist Greek junta that had just couped their own coup government tried to annex Cyprus with, you guessed it, a coup. The Turkish justification was that it was defending Turkish Cypriots from the Greek junta which, okay, why’d you keep the territory then?
The conflict collapsed the Greek junta btw, which is why Greece is a democracy again.
Not confusing anything. In between Lausanne and the decolonization of Cyprus, there is zero tension between Greece and Turkey. Once decolonization from the British started, the rest was a deteriorating cascade, and yes, the history is basically as you describe it. But at the time of NATO accession (1952), the countries had enjoyed 30 years of basically the best calm they’ve ever had.

Zero tension? Between 1922 and 1952?
LMAO okay. Because the Greeks weren’t shitposting about the Megali Idea even when they were social democrats.
And they definitely aren’t still doing it kek
Stoxos is literally a bunch of Nazis.
Correct, remnants of the junta period.
They’re the shitposting Greeks repeating ideas from your “era of peace,” even though they got bodied the last two times they tried, keep up.
