Cyprus
Cyprus has a long history of inter-ethnic conflict between Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot citizens. Following independence, these resulted in a series of escalating incidents of violence, mostly practised by the Greek Cypriot majority against the Turkish Cypriot minority group,and a military action by the Turkish army in 1968. In 1974, Turkey invaded a large part of the island with the official explanation that it was in order to maintain peace and save Turkish Cypriots.

The NGO KISA has been set up to combat this development.
