Verbatim passages

A Turkish victory in the Cyprus area—Turkish occupation of the whole island. I don't think that is their intention—to take the whole island—only that part they want.

William Colby (DCI) — FRUS 1969-76 v30 D131, NSC / WSAG, 1974-08-14 · Day of the second offensive

Claims this document bears on

contextualizes documented

Turkey's objective was de facto partition (double enosis), not solely protection of the Turkish Cypriot community.

The DCI distinguishes taking part of the island from taking all of it.
