You little scamp.
Regretable yes, illegal no.
In its resolution of the 29 July 1974, the Council of Europe confirmed the legality of the Turkish invasion. Then none other than the Greek court of appeal in Athens upheld this decision in the following year. The Greek court went on to add:
"The real culprits ...are the Greek officers who engineered and staged a coup and prepared the conditions for the invasion".
I have it on good authority that Macca was the presiding judge if that helps.
