14 August 1974, second wave of Turkey’s illegal invasion

On 14 August 1974, Turkey launched the second wave of its illegal invasion and occupation of Cyprus. By 16 August, Turkey’s occupation had been extended from ~3% to >36% of the Republic of Cyprus. The situation remains unchanged 46 years later.

Would the international community sit by if this happened to the UK?
