Operation Atilla

Operation Atilla
Morning of 22 July 1974
Midday, 22 July 1974

Attila Operations refers to the two operations performed by the Turkish Armed Forces during the invasion of Cyprus.

Atilla I was the first stage of the operation. The invasion began in the early hours of 20 July 1974 in response to a Greek-inspired coup d'etat that sought to overthrow the government of President Makarios.[1] Three days later, the coup was dissolved, and the elected government was re-established.

Atilla II was the code name given to the second stage of the Turkish invasion, less than a month after the restoration of the elected government of Cyprus, on 14 August 1974.
