Revision as of 12:19, 14 November 2020 editWikiCorrection0283 (talk | contribs)51 edits I have added a further reference. If you wish to discuss in the talk page go ahead. GGT is attempting to suggest that the 1974 deaths were 'military conflict'. This is false and multi-referenced. The massacre corresponds to multiple correlated mass-murders of NON-combatants. Bloody Christmas was removed, because I agree this was not a massacre, but inter-communal conflict. Please note, the 1974 deaths listed relate to civilian deaths only, military deaths (not included) would bring number up.Tags: Reverted Visual edit← Previous edit |

|Turkish Cypriots rioted in Nicosia to promote the idea that Greek and Turkish Cypriots could not live together and therefore any plan that did not include partition would not be viable. This violence was soon followed by bombing, Greek Cypriot deaths and looting of Greek Cypriot-owned stores and houses. Greek and Turkish Cypriots started to flee mixed population villages where they were a minority in search of safety. This was effectively the beginning of segregation of the two communities.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Crawshaw, Nancy.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4664535|title=The Cyprus revolt : an account of the struggle for union with Greece|date=1978|publisher=Boston|isbn=0-04-940053-3|location=London|oclc=4664535}}</ref> On 7 June 1958 a bomb exploded at the entrance of the Turkish Embassy in Cyprus.
