"The European commission of Human Rights with 12 votes against 1, accepted evidence from the Republic of Cyprus, concerning the rapes of various Greek-Cypriot women by Turkish soldiers and the torture of many Greek-Cypriot prisoners during the invasion of the island.[117][112] The high rate of rape reportedly resulted in the temporary permission of abortion in Cyprus by the conservative Cypriot Orthodox Church. [111][118][119] According to Paul Sant Cassia, rape was used systematically to "soften" resistance and clear civilian areas through fear. "

"In 1989, the government of Cyprus took an American art dealer to court for the return of
four rare 6th-century Byzantine mosaics that survived an edict by the Byzantine Emperor, imposing the destruction of all images of sacred figures. [...] In October 1997, Aydın Dikmen, who had sold the mosaics, was arrested in Germany in a police raid and found to be in possession of a stash consisting of mosaics, frescoes and icons dating back to the 6th, 12th and 15th centuries, worth over $50 million.

"In January 2011, the British singer Boy George returned an 18th-century icon of Christ to the Church of Cyprus that he had bought without knowing the origin. The icon, which had adorned his home for 26 years, had been looted from the church of St Charalampus from the village of New Chorio, near Kythrea, in 1974."
Raping, killing, pillaging. Many of the Turkish soldiers behaved worse than animals.
That's why the Hellenic people run.
Nope, they were transferred to homes left by the Greek Cypriots after the invasion according to a plan hatched in the United Nations.
So, let's not pretend that the colonels, bad as they were, were as close to the brutality and evil that the Turkish army showed those days. Yes, what we did was bad. But we received four times as much pain as we delivered. Because the Turkish military heads sent violent thugs and rapists mixed in great numbers with their invading force.
Bad as what our colonels did, the crimes of the Greek side pale in comparison to the atrocities the savages marching along the other, not-evil, Turkish soldiers did. We also had our savages, but they were both fewer and less cruel.
