Until now the Turkish position on Cyprus in international law has not been sufficiently explained and documented. This important book argues their case--principally from a legal standpoint, but also using significant historical, political, and diplomatic sources. The second edition begins with an account of the recent history of Cyprus and then goes on to deal with the international law aspects of the various developments that have taken place since 1963. It also deals with the current efforts to find an agreed settlement through the good offices mission of the UN Secretary-General, and the present position of the parties.

Summary: Finally an alternative perspective to Cyprus problem..
Comment: Well, although written by a Turk, the book is an alternative to many others written by nationalist Greek and Greek Cypriots and their supporters.
You may or may not agree what the author offers in the book, but the book certainly offers a different perspective to forty-year-old controversy of island of Cyprus and its bi-cultural people

Summary: The Most Valuable Acedemic Contribution to the Cyrpus Issue
Comment: Necatigil has written a most valuable resource for the ongoing reality on the island of Cyprus. His book is a detailed manuscript of a history, with a fine collection of facts, events and quotes one would always like to have on hand. Also it is a fine interpretation of an issue, which offers not so obvious underlying implications, thus is solely enlightening and encourages the reader to come to an opinion on a contraversey and debate. It is ultimately scientific in that it is objective relying on realtiy rather than on petty opinions. I had read this book in the course of acedemic research, along with numerous other authors writing on the subject. By far, this is the book I would choose to maintain in my own library, if one is searching for a complete history and analysis of the Cyprus Conflict. This is a most valuable resource for the student of International Affairs, History, Political Science and International Law, and also for the intereseted leisure reader. An extremely well written book.

Summary: A different approach to a so-called well-known Problem
Comment: "Cyprus Question" is assumed that very well known. However, Turkish position is not known at all in general public. Book starts with creation of the Republic of Cyprus. Then follows the path of conflict as intercommunal hostalities of 1963, separation of communities under their separate administrations, then distruction of 1960 constitution by Greek Cypriots with reasoning of "doctrine of necessity". Then it reaches Greek "coup d'etat" of 1974. As a result of it Turkish intervention of 1974. The book then discuss the legal base of intervention, the Treaty of Guarantee, and then constitutional proposal from both communities, diccussions about a future federation for Cyprus. Then books examines 1980 talks, role of United Nations, principle of self-determination, creation of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in 1983, and issues about state and recognition. Even it is written by a Turkish Cypriot, author based his opinions to legal documents, UN reports, reports from international press and sometimes to Greek Cypriot press. It is a very well structured book from a lawyer. Therefore, I suggest this book to everybody who interested to "Cyprus Question" and looking for a different approach to it.
