The recent release of declassified documents from the Greek National Intelligence Service (EYP) has sparked discussions about the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Historian Evanthis Hatzivassiliou highlights the importance of this initiative in promoting transparency. The documents reveal that the Greek military underestimated the threat of Turkish military preparations and failed to adequately prepare for the invasion. Despite expectations of groundbreaking revelations, Hatzivassiliou emphasizes that the historical understanding of these events is already well-established, though the documents provide valuable context and confirmation of existing theories.
