Özet
The events at the end of 1963, which highlighted the ongoing disputes between the two Cypriot communities, induced Türkiye to intensify its diplomatic efforts to address the crisis. As part of this strategy, Türkiye endeavoured to persuade the British to support its position and take a more proactive role in the diplomatic process, reminiscent of the pre-1960 period. However, having relinquished its responsibilities on the island, Britain was reluctant to intervene in a situation that could jeopardize its interests in Greece and Türkiye. This article aims to demonstrate Türkiye’s endeavour to encourage Britain to assume a decisive role, however, Britain resisted and remained unconvinced of the federation thesis; instead, the positions of these countries only aligned with the compensated-Enosis and double-Enosis proposals.
