The Cyprus Emergency[note 1] was a conflict fought in British Cyprus between November 1955 and March 1959.[8]
The National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters (EOKA), a Greek Cypriot right-wing nationalist guerrilla organisation, began an armed campaign in support of the end of British colonial rule and the unification of Cyprus and Greece (Enosis) in 1955. Opposition to Enosis from Turkish Cypriots led to the formation of the Turkish Resistance Organisation (TMT) in support of the partition of Cyprus. The Cyprus Emergency ended in 1959 with the signature of the London-Zürich Agreements, establishing the Republic of Cyprus as an independent state.[9]
Background
The island of Cyprus can trace its Hellenic roots back to the 12th century BC with the immigration of Mycenaean Greeks to the island.[10][11][12] Many civilisations passed through the island leaving remnants behind, including that of the Franks, Venetians, Assyrians etc.[13][14]
Cyprus was a territory of the Ottoman Empire from the late 16th century until it became a protectorate of the United Kingdom under nominal Ottoman suzerainty at the Cyprus Convention of 4 June 1878 after the Russo-Turkish War. In 1915, Cyprus was formally annexed into the British Empire after the Ottomans had entered World War I on the side of the Central Powers against the British, and it was initially governed by a military administration until 1925, when it was proclaimed the Crown Colony of Cyprus. From the 1910s to the 1950s, Greek Cypriots became increasingly dissatisfied with British rule and supportive of Enosis, the concept of political unification between Cyprus and Greece. Several unsuccessful offers made to Greece by the British to cede Cyprus in exchange for military concessions, as well as the noticeable lack of British investment on the island, caused a growing Cypriot nationalist movement.
In October 1931, Greek Cypriots rebelled against British rule and destroyed government property, however the demonstrations were suppressed and Britain took dictatorial measures against the Cypriot people, becoming as the "Palmerocracy", owing to the name of the Governor of Cyprus, Richmond Palmer.[15][16] These measures were in place until the start of World War II.[17]
In 1950, a referendum was held by the Church of Cyprus on the subject of union with Greece, with a 89% turnout rate and 95.7% of those in favour of union with Greece, the British government however, refusing to negotiate.[18][19][20]
In 1954, Britain announced its intention to transfer its Suez military headquarters (the office of the Commander-in-Chief, Middle East) to Cyprus.[21]
Emergency
1st April 1955 - Suez Crisis
On 1 April 1955, the EOKA started its insurgency with the 1 April Attacks. After a series of other incidents, the Governor General Sir John Harding declared a state of emergency on 26 November 1955.[22] Following the example of Malaya, Harding tried to co-ordinate the activities of the civil, military and police authorities, with the specific aim of collecting and processing intelligence. The British encountered great difficulty obtaining effective intelligence on EOKA, as it was supported by the majority of the Greek Cypriot population. As a result, the British were forced to rely on some 4,000 Turkish-Cypriot policemen, who were ostracised by the Greek-Cypriot communities and could provide little information about them.[23] Inevitably, the use of Turkish Cypriot policemen against the Greek Cypriot community exacerbated relations between the two communities.[24]
EOKA focused its activity to urban areas totalling 104 house bombings, 53 riots, 136 acts of Sabotage, 403 ambushes, 35 attacks on police, 38 attacks on soldiers and 43 raids on police stations. EOKAS's aim to keep the British army away from the Troodos mountains where its main fighters were hiding.[25] Some of the attacks went awry most notably, the bombing of a restaurant by EOKA on 16 June led to the death of William P. Boteler, a CIA officer working under diplomatic cover.[26] Grivas immediately issued a statement denying a deliberate attempt to target American citizens.[27][28]
In October, with the security situation deteriorating, Harding, opened talks on the island's future. By this stage, Makarios had become closely identified with the insurgency, and talks broke up without any agreement in early 1956.[29] Makarios viewed with suspicion by the British authorities, was later exiled to the Seychelles.[30][31] News of his arrest triggered a week long general strike followed by a dramatic increase in EOKA activity: 246 attacks until 31 March including an attempt to assassinate Harding which failed as the time bomb under his bed failed to go off.[32]
Counter insurgency
By mid-1956, there were 17,000 British servicemen in Cyprus and Harding was concerned to counter EOKA's mountain units in the Troodos. Nevertheless a number of operations were launched:
- Kennet
21 April – 7 May: conducted in the Kyrenia range by 1,500 troops who cordoned and searched a dozen villages in a 50 square mile area and arrested eighteen suspects.
- Pepper Pot
17 May – 7 June: destroyed two hard core gangs and most of a third and netted seventeen prisoners and large quantities of weapons. This was carried out by the well trained 16 Independent parachute brigade.
8–24 June: was a costly failure; the operation as a whole only captured seven EOKA members by 40 Commando.[33] 7 British soldiers were killed with another 21 burned to death by accident during a fire in the Paphos Forest.[34]
- Spread Eagle
2–21 July:16 Independent parachute brigade cordoned thirty villages in the Troodos; assisted by tracker dogs and informers, they arrested three members of three village groups.[35]
- Golden Eagle
22–25 July: a 400 mile drive of the Western Troodos mountains was made. The British captured seventeen guerrillas and wounded several others trying to breach the cordons.[36]
Apart from Lucky Alphonse the other operations were considered a success; some fifty guerrillas and a good haul of weapons were captured. Grivas managed to escape and was forced into hiding leaving behind his diary which yielded important intelligence information. The leading EOKA assassin, Nicos Sampson, had also been captured.[37]
Suez Crisis - 1957
Grivas eventually moved to Limassol where he established his new headquarters. The Suez crisis gave EOKA some respite in the autumn of 1956 and some reorganisation was achieved in particular the town groups. As a result there was no follow up to the success of the summer operations which frustrated Harding. As a result EOKA stepped up its campaign in what became as 'Black November' for the British with a total of 416 attacks, 39 killed, 21 of them British. Facing growing criticism in the United Kingdom about the methods he used and their lack of effectiveness, Sir John Harding resigned as Governor on 22 October 1957 and was replaced by Sir Hugh Foot in December.[38]
The end of the Suez crisis, although it had resulted in the departure of many of the military from the Island, had not reduced the numbers on active internal security operations as much as had been expected. So the British were able to hold their own and reasserted control.[39] After Suez campaign had finished, the British military strength was increased to 20,000 and Foote managed to direct a new offensive.[39]
British troops were redeployed and the town groups were being hunted. By the Spring of 1957 the British operations took its toll on EOKA; the security forces arrested around thirty members of the Nicosia town groups, including the area commander. In addition the mountain groups would never be effective as they had been. Altogether fifteen had been killed in combat and another sixty were captured with the likelihood they would be hanged. Grivas ordered his area commanders to cease active operations. By April the majority of EOKA's leaders had been killed or captured and their gangs were soon broken up. The insurgency at this point looked as though it had been defeated, and a result of this Grivas announced a ceasefire on 17 March.[37]
1958 - Independence
The ceasefire lasted a whole year; during this time EOKA began to rearm and reorganize and stepped up its activities in different ways. Here the Emergency turned a different course for a variety of reasons. A second phase of the emegenecy now began as EOKA began to target urban areas where they organised rioting by students and schoolchildren. They used execution squads to target police officers, military personnel. These attacks continued throughout 1957 and into 1958. However many of the ambushes did not succeed against alert security troops, and losses to EOKA began to rise. Grivas was also concerned with increasing communist activity against AKEL, and a number of occasions ordered a number of actions against them threatening to start a civil war within the Greek Cypriot community.[37] The British delicately fuelled this hostility and in August 1957 a second wave of intra-Greek violence broke out.[40]
The Turkish Resistance Organisation (TMT, Türk Mukavemet Teşkilatı) was formed initially to prevent the union with Greece. This was viewed by Turkish Cypriots as an existential threat due to the exodus of Cretan Turks from Crete once the union with Greece was achieved. It was later supported and organised directly by the Turkish government, and thus 'Taksim' politics (division – partition or death) bore fruit.[41]
TMT used violence against members of its own community (especially on the left) that were not willing to stay in line with their cause.[42][43] The British were also openly tolerating TMT and had deliberately set out to use the Turkish Cypriot community on the island and the Turkish government as a means of blocking the demand for Enosis. They had effectively allied themselves with the Turkish minority. The British knowing this was getting out of control still managed to exploit the situation.[44]
Intercommunal (and intra-communal) violence escalated in the summer of 1958 with numerous fatalities. There were approximately 55 assassinations by Turks on Greeks, and 59 assassinations by Greeks on Turks between 7 June and 7 August.[45] A substantial number of Turkish Cypriots were displaced due to the violence.
End of the emergency
By September 1958 Makarios had abandoned his initial demand for Enosis favoring independence instead of Partitiondue to political pressure from Konstantinos Karamanlis.[46] During the last months of 1958, all parties had reasons to favour a compromise. The Greek Cypriot side was afraid that partition was becoming more and more imminent, Greece was anxious that the ongoing situation could lead to a war with Turkey, Turkey themselves had to manage the ongoing crises at its eastern borders and the British did not want to see NATO destabilizing because of a Greek-Turkish war in addition to being unable to fully supress EOKA.
On 5 December, the foreign ministers of Greece and Turkey acknowledged the situation and a series of meetings were arranged that resulted in London-Zürich Agreements. This was a compromise solution in which Cyprus would become an independent and sovereign country. Both Makarios and Grivas accepted the agreements with a heavy heart, but the Turkish-Cypriot leadership was enthusiastic about the compromise. On 9 March 1959, Grivas issued a leaflet declaring his acceptance to the London agreements. There was to be an immediate cease-fire, and an amnesty for political crimes committed during the Emergency.[47]
Aftermath
Following the London and Zürich Agreements, Cyprus became an independent republic in 1960 with Britain retaining control some 254km2 (98 square miles) which consisted of two Sovereign Base Areas at Akrotiri and Dhekelia also known as British Forces Cyprus.
Despite having agreed to independence Turkey soon regarded Cyprus with grave suspicion, feeling that they had been betrayed both by the British and their co-religionists on the island. For the new Constitution to work in practice some degree of co-operation between the two communities would be essential with many viewing as unworkable. This view proved correct, and after years of unrest, violence and disagreement a buffer zone was established in the last days of 1963 directed by Major-General Peter Young commander of the British Joint Force (later known as the Truce Force and a predecessor of the present UN force). It was fully established in 4 March 1964, then extended on 9 August after the Battle of Tillyria and extended again in 1974 after the ceasefire of 16 August 1974, following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. This became known as the United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus and is commonly referred to as the 'Green Line'.[48]
Torture and extrajudicial killings
At least 14 Cypriots (including a minor) arrested on suspicion of being EOKA members, were tortured then killed by UK forces during detention. Witnesses – both surviving detainees and UK veterans – recall various kinds of torture and inhumane treatment of detainees.[49]
The British government agreed in January 2019 to pay £1 million to a total of 33 Cypriots who had been allegedly tortured by British forces during the uprising. They included a woman, aged 16 at the time, who said that she had been detained and repeatedly raped by soldiers, and a man who had lost a kidney as a result of his interrogation. The payout followed the declassification of government documents in 2012, but Foreign Minister Alan Duncan stated that "the settlement does not constitute any admission of liability" although "the government has settled the case in order to draw a line under this litigation and to avoid the further escalation of costs".[50]

Remember that the British fought in Cyprus, and seemingly had everything in their favor. It is an island half the size of New Jersey. The Royal Navy, which can be trusted to do its job, sealed off the island from the outside. There were 40,000 British troops on Cyprus under Field Marshal Sir John Harding, and his opponent, Colonel [George] Grivas, had 300 Greeks in the EOKA [National Organization of Cypriot Struggle]. The ratio between regular troops and guerrillas was 110-to-1 in favor of the British! After five years the British preferred to come to terms with the rebels.
