f) Cyprus Stamps 2024 “50 Years since the Turkish invasion and occupation in Cyprus.”

Available on Cyprus Stamps website as: Miniature-Sheet (MINT and CTO/USED) and on a Post Office Official First Day Cover.

2024 marks 50 years since the Turkish invasion of July 20, 1974. This constitutes half a century of illegal and violent occupation of 36.2% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus by the Turkish army.

All these years, the Turkish occupier continues to keep approximately 170,000 refugees away from their ancestral homes and properties – more than a third of the population – who were forcibly driven away, while the fate of 758 Greek Cypriot missing persons remains unknown. 

In the fifty years since 1974, more than twenty-three thousand Greek Cypriots who were enclaved in the Karpasia region have been gradually forced, through intimidation and deprivation of their basic human rights, to abandon their homes and find refuge in the government-controlled area. Today, only 331 persons remain enclaved in the area. The attempt to Turkify our occupied areas continues with the illegal settlement of hundreds of thousands of Turkish settlers, thus altering the demographic character of the island, and the systematic destruction of the cultural heritage of these areas.

Despite the changes that have taken place in recent years on the worldwide international stage, Turkey continues to maintain an anachronistic and harsh policy against Cyprus in breach of every rule of international law and morality, asking for more and more concessions in order to accept a solution that would exclusively serve its interests and consolidate the outcome of the invasion.

Nevertheless, the Republic of Cyprus continues its efforts for a just and lasting solution to the Cyprus problem which is in accordance with the Resolutions and Decisions of the United Nations, which will safeguard the independence, integrity, sovereignty and unity of Cyprus and which will guarantee the respect and protection of the human rights of all its citizens.

NORTH CYPRUS STAMPS - 19 July 2024

f) North Cyprus Stamps SG 2024 "50th Anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation" - a single stamp.

Available on Cyprus Stamps website as: a single stamp, Full Sheet of 4 stamps and a Post Office Official First Day Cover (FDC).

Turkey’s 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation was carried out in response to Greece’s fascist coup attempt for Enosis on 15 July 1974. Based on the rights and authority granted by the 1960 Guarantee Agreement, the Peace Operation aimed to protect Turkish Cypriots who had been forcibly expelled from the founding equal partnership of the Republic of Cyprus since 21 December 1963.

During the period between 1963 – 1974, they endured inhumane sieges with 103 villages occupied and looted, hundreds killed and forced to live in open-air prisons in 3% of the island under hunger, poverty and deprivation.

The operation saved the Turkish Cypriot population from absolute genocide, toppled fascist coup agreements in Cyprus and Greece, preventing Enosis and preserving the island’s independence.
