1954 CE

Turkish Cypriot identification with Turkey grows stronger, and after 1954 the Turkish government will become increasingly involved as the Cyprus problem becomes an international issue.

On the island, an underground political organization known as Volkan (volcano) is formed.

Volkan will eventually establish in 1957 the Turkish Resistance Organization (Turk Mukavemet Te§kilati—TMT), a guerrilla group that fights for Turkish Cypriot interests.
