Abstract

This introductory chapter starts with an insight of motivations of the author in writing the book. After sketch of his past in relation to the history of northern Cyprus, Ekici outlines the organization, content and purpose of the whole book. In the second section, the author briefly summarizes the history of the island of Cyprus until 1974 division, thereby opening up the history to the present day of northern Cyprus which is the book’s remit. Although the historical conflict between the ethnic groups is not the concern of this book, the ideological and political context from which the Turkish Cypriot experience and northern Cyprus’ story arose is told.

One reviewer noted that ‘TRNC does not represent the entire Cyprus, so you need to include Republic of Cyprus data as well’ whereas another one complained that ‘since TRNC is not a recognized state, its data cannot be used for academic purposes’.

The statistics are taken from Kızılyürek (2001), p. 20. Although Kızılyürek (2001) claims high level of interaction and no major conflict between the two groups, Ker-Lindsay (2011) claims ‘little direct contact in day-to-day life’ (p. 13).

The news focused on the fact that the deceased were ‘communists’, and surprisingly they did not blame EOKA. Kızılyürek (2016) gives a detailed analysis of these.

Grivas was known for his brutal tactics in EOKA which were not approved by Makarios. In fact, when several Greek Cypriots were murdered in January 1958 by EOKA, Greek Consul in Cyprus and AKEL protested heavily and Makarios wrote a letter to Greece. Grivas’ response was that those murdered were traitors and accused AKEL for treachery (Drousiotis 2009).

Two Turkish Cypriot pro-unified Cyprus journalists (Ayhan Hikmet and Ahmet M. Gurkan) were murdered on April 1962. They were killed right before they were going to announce the names of the perpetrators of mosque bombings earlier that year. Since they were against both taksim and enosis, both EOKA and TMT blamed the other side. Dervis A. Kazaoglu, an active member of ethnically MIXED labour organization PEO and strong believer of unified Cyprus, was murdered in 1965.

Dr Küçük’s popularity in Ankara was declining at this time. Another candidate Ahmet Mithat Berberoğlu emerged for these elections, but he was also ‘warned’ by Turkish authorities, and he withdrew from the elections one day before it was held. Ankara had no doubt that Denktaş should be the ‘head’ of Turkish Cypriots (Kızılyürek 2016; part 10).
