November 1967 CE

Turkey issues an ultimatum and threatens to intervene in force to protect Turkish Cypriots.

To back up their demands, the Turks massed troops on the Thracian border separating Greece and Turkey and begin assembling an amphibious invasion force.

The ultimatum's conditions include the expulsion of Grivas from Cyprus, removal of Greek troops from Cyprus, payment of indemnity for the casualties at Ayios Theodhoros and Kophinou, cessation of pres-
sure on the Turkish Cypriot community, and the disbanding of the National Guard.
