Kıbrıs'ta 140 bin Türk var [There are 140,000 Turks in Cyprus]
This Hürriyet map of the Turkish Cypriot enclaves captures Cyprus on the eve of being redrawn: it was printed on 18 July 1974, three days after a Greek-backed coup overthrew President Makarios in pursuit of enosis, union with Greece, and two days before Turkish troops landed at Kyrenia, citing the Turkish Cypriots' protection. Under the headline 'There are 140,000 Turks in Cyprus', magenta patches pick out the scattered 'cantons' the community had lived in since, in the paper's words, 'the Greek attack of 1963', from Paphos to the Karpas. The largest, the Lefkoşe–Boğaz enclave, ran from the capital to St Hilarion castle above Kyrenia, then in Turkish Cypriot hands. Persuasion as much as reporting, it laid an island-wide Turkish presence before readers as Ankara decided to act; within eighteen months the invasion and the 1975 population exchange had emptied the southern enclaves. A folded page of toned newsprint with small edge splits.
