Attila Operations refers to the two operations performed by the Turkish Armed Forces during the invasion of Cyprus.
Atilla I was the first stage of the operation. The invasion began in the early hours of 20 July 1974 in response to a Greek-inspired coup d'etat that sought to overthrow the government of President Makarios.[1] Three days later, the coup was dissolved, and the elected government was re-established.
Atilla II was the code name given to the second stage of the Turkish invasion, less than a month after the restoration of the elected government of Cyprus, on 14 August 1974.
