Title
Refugee Stamps, 2005-2014
Description
Οn 20th July 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus. But instead of restoring the legitimate government as envisaged in Article 3 of the Cyprus
Treaty of Guarantee, it resorted to divide the island with the result that about 200,000 people had to flee from their homes thus becoming
refugees in their own homeland. Also some 1600 people went missing.
Article 3 of the Treaty reads as follows: In the event of a breach of the provisions of the present treaty, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom undertake to consult together with respect to representations or measures to ensure observance of these provisions.
In so far as common or concerted action may not be possible, each of the guaranteeing powers reserves the right to take action with the sole aim of re-establishing the state of affairs created by the present treaty.
It should be noted that in the above paragraph the guaranteeing powers reserve the right to take unilateral action which is not specified and which makes no reference to the use of force. It has, however, a sole aim, that of re-establishing the state of affairs established by the treaty.
Turkey by its action failed to uphold the independence and sovereignty of Cyprus as set out in the treaties it had signed.
