"We will never compromise with the consequences of the Turkish invasion," Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Monday in a statement on the 46th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, 1974, which led to the occupation of more than a third of the island. 

Greek authorities are on alert after Turkey's military operation in Syria, fearing jihadists may enter the country.

Henry Kissinger, U.S. Secretary of State at the time of Turkey’s 1974 invasion of Cyprus told then U.S. President Gerald Ford that Turkey was entitled to seize part of the island, according to the National Herald, a U.S. newspaper focusing on Greek affairs.
