Martin believes such small episodes were the key to preventing the
island drifting towards ethnic separation. But, he says, this was not
what the Americans and British had in mind.
He recalls being asked to take a visiting US politician, acting
secretary of state George Ball, around the island. Arriving back in
Nicosia, says Martin, "Ball patted me on the back, as though I were
sadly deluded and he said: That was a fantastic show son, but you've
got it all wrong, hasn't anyone told you that our plan here is for
partition?"
...
So did the peacekeeping forces, and the big powers, really want
Cyprus to remain an independent, unitary state? Or was it more
important to head off the threat of a "Mediterranean Cuba" by keeping
the island within Turkey's - and hence Nato's - sphere of influence?
Britain had, and has, electronic listening bases on the island -
important parts of the Nato intelligence effort.
Nicos Koshis, a former justice minister, thinks that it was those
bases that determined the fate of the island: "It is my feeling they
wanted to have fighting between the two sides. They didn't want us to
get together. If the communities come together maybe in the future we
say no bases in Cyprus.""

"Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger pushed for the 1974
Turkish invasion of Cyprus and allowed arms to be moved to Ankara for
an attack on that island in reaction to a coup sponsored by the Greek
junta, according to documents and intelligence officers with close
knowledge of the event.
Nearly 700 pages of highly classified Central Intelligence Agency
reports from the 1970's, known collectively as the "Family Jewels,"

related documents through the Freedom of Information Act and made
them public Friday.
“In all the world the things that hurt us the most are the CIA
business and Turkey aid,” Kissinger declares in one of those
documents, a White House memorandum of a conversation from Feb. 20,
1975. On the surface, the comment seems innocuous, but the context as
well as the time period suggests Kissinger had abetted illegal
financial aid and arms support to Turkey for its 1974 Cyprus
invasion.
In July and August of 1974, Turkey staged a military invasion of the
island nation of Cyprus, taking over nearly a third of the island and
creating a divide between the south and north. Most historians
consider that Kissinger – then Secretary of State and National
Security Advisor to President Gerald Ford – not only knew about the
planned attack on Cyprus, but encouraged it."
