Abstract

ABSTRACT This article discusses the confrontation between Greeks of Cyprus (GoC) and Turks of Cyprus (ToC) in the Legislative Council of Cyprus regarding the issue of the Enosis (Union) and the changes of content since 1902. The question arises, yet to a limited extent, during the period 1902–1914, given the formal subordination of Cyprus to the Ottoman Empire. From 1915 to 1918, due to the placement of the Ottoman Empire on the side of Britain’s opponents and the participation of Greece within the Entente front, the Greek pressure on the British became very intense, while the Turkish were in a defensive position. In the period from 1918 to 1930, the main argument of the ToC was that even Greece no longer raised the issue of Enosis. Finally, in 1931, the GoC raised the issue urgently facing the strong reaction both of the ToC, as well as the British.
