Plus a lot of Greeks believed that the 1967 - 1974 junta came in power to surrender a part of Cyprus to Turkey thus their fall just few days after the beginning of the Turkish invasion.
Currently I am not sure if the Greek government will like to risk a confrontation knowing the effectiveness of their armed forces. Their performance during the last crisis back in January 1996 was dissapointing to say the least.
