Cyprus.
On July 15, 1974, the Cypriot national guard, which had close ties
with the Greek government, ousted president Archbishop Makarios from office - because of
his reluctance to unite the island with Greece - and installed newspaper publisher, Nikos
Sampson, as president.
He was replaced on July 23 by Glafkos Clerides, president of the
Cyprus House of Representatives, after Turkish forces landed on the island "to
restore order and protect the interests of the Turkish Cypriots."
By late August, following fighting that left many people homeless, the
Turks controlled the northern third of the island.
The state called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is officially
unrecognised.
