Prof. Dr. Owen Miller November 2020 Cyprus has been a problem for Turkey since 1954 and the entangled conflict attracted the attention of the United States as well. While the situation of the island required mediation and diplomacy, it not only concerned the two communities of Cyprus but also the two allies; the United States and Turkey to confront with the major crises often. One of them was the 1964 Letter Crisis and the other one was the Conflict of 1967 which brought Turkey and Greece to the threshold of war. It was mediated by American diplomacy and described as a success by George Ball. Deadlocks and crises hurt the relations between the two states and the diplomacy that the United States called successful, in actuality meant disappointments and therefore were unable to address all their priorities for Turkey. This thesis argues that a catastrophic success was the result of bilateral relations and for this purpose, the thesis; surveys the effects of Turkish and American diplomats by combining their memoirs and archives. Keywords: Cyprus, Diplomacy, Turkey, The United States of America vi ÖZET DİPLOMASİ ÇÖZÜMLEMESİ: 1954-1967 KIBRIS KRİZLERİNDE TÜRK VE AMERİKAN DİPLOMATLAR Erçelik, Dilara Yüksek Lisans, Tarih Bölümü Tez Danışmanı: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Owen Miller Kasım 2020 Kıbrıs, 1954’ten beri Türkiye için bir problem teşkil ediyordu ve çatışma karmaşası Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin de ilgisini çekmişti. Adanın durumu arabuluculuk ve diplomasiyi vazgeçilmez kılarken, sadece Kıbrıs’ta yaşayan iki toplumu değil, iki müttefik olan Türkiye ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ni de zaman zaman büyük krizlerle karşı karşıya getirmişti. Bunlardan en büyüğü 1964’te yaşanan mektup krizi, bir diğeri ise Türkiye ile Yunanistan’ı savaşın eşiğine getiren ve Amerikan diplomasisiyle çözülen, sonunda da George Ball tarafından bir başarı olarak tanımlanan 1967 anlaşmazlığıydı. Art arda gelen çözümsüzlükler ve sorunlar iki ülke ilişkilerini derinden etkilemiş, Amerikan tarafının başarı olarak nitelediği diplomasi, Türkiye için istediğini elde edememe ve hayal kırıklıkları anlamına gelmiştir. Bu tez, ikili ilişkilerde yıkıcı bir başarı elde edildiğini savunuyor ve bu yolda Türk ve Amerikan diplomatların hatıratlarıyla arşiv çalışmalarını birleştirerek onların bu süreçteki etkilerini inceliyor. Anahtar Kelimeler: Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, Diplomasi, Kıbrıs, Türkiye vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Asst. Prof. Dr. Owen Miller for his continuous support and guidance, especially when I was feeling lost, he gave the best advice on how I should proceed and inspired me with his vast knowledge. Asst.

Background and Objectives So much sacrificed over the small island of Cyprus, and it was rather a peculiar experience for its people as well as four other states; Turkey, Greece, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is located 40 miles away from the south of Turkey and 250 miles from the closest Greek island Rhodes, about 500 miles from mainland Greece. Although the United Kingdom was still the colonial power over the island, the time for decolonization came for Cyprus as well just like the other colonized states in various places at the time. The rivalry between Greece and Turkey attracted other countries into the conflict. The British saw it as a problem like Palestine and possibly another Cuba for the Americans because of the potential Soviet threat. On the other hand, it was the beginning of a national policy which created a continuing dilemma for the Turkish foreign policy. Cyprus was a homeland for many civilizations in history such as Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Persians, Ptolemies, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and 1 Venetians, finally in 1571 by the Ottoman Empire. Turkish Muslims along with Greek Orthodox populated areas were the major populations living on the island as well as a small number of Armenians, Maronites, and Latins. There has never been a Cypriot nation even before this conquest; rather there were two major different nations; with different languages, religions, and ethnicities with only one thing in common which was this island they called home. When Ottomans annexed the island, the Greek Orthodox Church became the highest position with its archbishop on top as a political leader as well for the Greek community there, this tradition continued for a really long time. Joseph S. Joseph explains what contributed to this situation in Cyprus after the Ottoman rule and during the British rule which

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • The Gordian Knot: American and British Policy Concerning the Cyprus Issue: 1952-1974
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: AMERICAN AND BRITISH POLICY CONCERNING THE CYPRUS ISSUE: 1952-1974 Michael M. Carver A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor This study examines the role of both the United States and Great Britain during a series of crises that plagued Cyprus from the mid 1950s until the 1974 invasion by Turkey that led to the takeover of approximately one-third of the island and its partition. Initially an ancient Greek colony, Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century, which allowed the native peoples to take part in the island’s governance. But the idea of Cyprus’ reunification with the Greek mainland, known as enosis, remained a significant tenet to most Greek-Cypriots. The movement to make enosis a reality gained strength following the island’s occupation in 1878 by Great Britain. Cyprus was integrated into the British imperialist agenda until the end of the Second World War when American and Soviet hegemony supplanted European colonialism. Beginning in 1955, Cyprus became a battleground between British officials and terrorists of the pro-enosis EOKA group until 1959 when the independence of Cyprus was negotiated between Britain and the governments of Greece and Turkey. The United States remained largely absent during this period, but during the 1960s and 1970s came to play an increasingly assertive role whenever intercommunal fighting between the Greek and Turkish-Cypriot populations threatened to spill over into Greece and Turkey, and endanger the southeastern flank of NATO.

  • HALİL Erdemirdecember 2001- February 2002 / Vol
    PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS December 2001- February 2002 / Vol. - VI Num.4 THE ORIGIN OF THE CYPRUS QUESTION: THE BRITISH POLICY ON THE CREATION OF CYPRUS REPUBLIC HALİL ERDEMİR Halil Erdemir is a PhD candidate and tutor in the Department of Politics, University of Wales Swansea. INTRODUCTION Cyprus holds an important place in the United Kingdom’s foreign policy. There was a rather complex situation in Cyprus during the 1950s; the Greeks tried for enosis (the union of Cyprus with Greece), the Turks resisted, arguing either for the status quo or for taksim (partition), while Britain tried to quit the Island with the exception of keeping two air bases. British officials used every opportunity to preserve British influence on the Island. The Cyprus Question was the most difficult issue to the United Kingdom, Greece and Turkey during the second half of the 1950s and it disturbed Turkey’s relations with Greece and the United Kingdom. The Cyprus Question was the creation of the desires and aggression of two conflicting parties: Greece and the United Kingdom. The Greek Cypriots attempted to exclude the Turkish Cypriots from the Island’s political and economic life and directed terrorist actions against British soldiers and Turks on the Island. There was also a potential threat to the southern border of Turkey. An extreme group within the Greek community wanted to achieve enosis through using violence against their neighbouring community. Regarding Turkey and the international community, Cyprus is located in a crucial strategic area and simply cannot be left to any hostile power. Greece possesses the Aegean Islands that encircle Turkey’s border.1 Periodically, Greek terrorists attacked first the British and then Turkish Cypriots, causing difficulty in relations between Greece and Britain.

  • Kıbrıs Politikasının Annan Belgesi Ile Başlayan Kırılma Noktaları Breaking Points in the Cyprus Policy Beginning with the Annan Blueprint
    Kıbrıs Politikasının Annan Belgesi ile Başlayan Kırılma Noktaları Breaking Points in the Cyprus Policy Beginning with the Annan Blueprint Ahmet Zeki Bulunç* Özet Kıbrıs uyuşmazlığı Yunanistan’ın “Kıbrıs Halkına” self-determinasyon hakkı verilmesi ama- cıyla 1954 yılında Birleşmiş Milletlere yaptığı başvuruyla birlikte uluslararası bir nitelik kazanarak evreler halinde günümüze kadar devam etmiştir. Kıbrıs uyuşmazlığının temelinde Yunanistan’ın ve Rumların ENOSİS (Kıbrıs’ın Yunanistan’a ilhakı) mücadelesi vardır. Türkiye’nin bu mücadeleye karşı izlediği politika, Kıbrıs Türk halkının güvenlik ve huzur içinde siyasi eşit, egemen bir halk olarak yaşaması, Ada’nın kendine karşı kullanılabilecek bir konuma getirilmemesi ve Türk-Yunan dengesi- nin korunması ilkelerine dayanmaktadır. Annan Belgesi’nin taraflara sunulmasından sonra yen Türk hükümetinin uyguladığı AB odaklı ve inisiyatifli yeni politika nedeniyle Kıbrıs politikasında kırılmalar meydana gelmiştir. Özel- likle Türk hükümetince, Annan Belgesi’nin kabul edilmesi ve KKTC halkına kabul ettirmesi temel bir kırılma noktasını teşkil etmektedir. Bu arada Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’nin (AİHM) Loizidou Davası Kararının, AB Konseyi’nin 17 Aralık 2004 Brüksel Zirve Kararı’nın ve dolayısıyla Ek Protokolün, 3 Ekim 2005 Müzakere Çerçeve Belgesi’nin kabulü Kıbrıs uyuşmazlığında Türkiye aleyhinde çok ciddi kırılma noktaları olmuştur. Söz konusu kırılma noktalarından sonraki süreçte T.C. Dışişleri Bakanlığı’nın Ocak 2006 Akademik Bakış Eylem Planı, Gambari Anlaşması (8 Temmuz 2006 süreci), 2006 Fin Önerileri’nin ilke olarak 73 kabul edilmesi, Türkiye’nin Kıbrıs politikası’nda ve tezlerinde verdiği önemli tavizler olarak değerlen- Cilt 1, Sayı 1 dirilmektedir. Kış 2007 Kasım 2002 tarihinden itibaren Kıbrıs uyuşmazlığı konusunda Türkiye Hükümetleri’nin uyguladıkları politikalar temel hatalar ve yanlışlar içermektedir. Bu politikaların bir sonucu olarak Türkiye-AB ilişkilerinde ciddi bir tıkanma olmuş ve Kıbrıs uyuşmazlığı Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi -Yunanistan inisiyatifinde tam bir uzlaşmazlığa sürüklenmiştir.

ÖZ The foreign policy realm is the most delicate area for states. It is a realm where in theory states contact or enter into positive or negative relations with their equals. In practice, however, it is a realm where states carry out such relations, exchanges on the basis of cooperation or conflict with other states and even non-state actors in an unofficial hierarchy. Given its importance, the foreign policy-diplomacy realm calls for a theoretical framework, orientation and targeting.
