The British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was expected to propose a plan to resolve the Cyprus issue
Time: Jun, 1958
Place: Cyprus
Details: In June 1958 the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was expected to propose a plan to resolve the Cyprus issue. In light of the new development the Turks rioted in Nicosia to promote the idea that Greek and Turkish Cypriots could not live together and therefore any plan that did not include partition would not be viable. This violence was soon followed by bombing, Greek Cypriot deaths and looting of Greek Cypriot-owned stores and houses. Greek and Turkish Cypriots started to flee mixed population villages where they were a minority in search of safety. This was effectively the beginning of segregation of the two communities.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
