Battle of Tillyria

The Battle of Tillyria or Battle of Kokkina also known as Erenköy Resistance (Turkish: Erenköy Direnişi) was a battle between the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot forces at Kokkina area, in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The island of Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean, south of Turkey and west of Syria. In 1964, at the time of the battle, the island was governed by two Sovereign state entities—the Republic of Cyprus and the British Sovereign Base Areas. The areas under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Cyprus included a number of large and fortified enclaves, inhabited by the island's Turkish Cypriot minority, which had receded into defensive positions around Turkish controlled villages following a major outbreak of civil unrest in 1963.

The Tillyria region of Cyprus was largely enclosed within the Morphou Administrative District in the north-west of the island, forming a large portion of the southern coastline of Morphou Bay. Located on this coastline at Kokkina was a heavily fortified Turkish enclave with between 750 and 1000 inhabitants.

Another Turkish crime, this time in Tilliria.

The Day on Aug. 8, 1964, the Turkish air force bombed with napalm region Tillyrias Cyprus. Turkish Cypriots can celebrate today alleged resistance, but the Greek Cypriots can not escape the memory of one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the island, which was the forerunner of what is planned and implemented by Turkey ten years later.
