fighting broke out again in 1967, as the turkish cypriots pushed for more freedom of movement. once again, the situation was not settled until turkey threatened to invade on the basis that it would be protecting the turkish population from ethnic cleansing by greek cypriot forces. to avoid that, a compromise was reached for greece to be forced to remove some of its troops from the island; for georgios grivas, eoka leader, to be forced to leave cyprus and for the cypriot government to lift some restrictions of movement and access to supplies of the turkish populations.
