August 1955 CE

During a difficult summer of attacks and counterattacks, the Tripartite Conference of 1955 is convened in London in August at British invitation; representatives of the Greek and Turkish governments meet with British authorities to discuss Cyprus—a radical departure from traditional British policy.

Heretofore the British had considered colonial domestic matters internal affairs not to be discussed with foreigners.

Greece accepts the invitation with some hesitation because no Cypriots have been invited, but reluctantly decides to attend.

The Turks also accept.
