Turkey's sending of a "Peace Force" to Cyprus opened the way to various debates and repercussions in world public opinion.
For half a century, Turkey has been bound to a belief in the principle of "Peace at home; peace abroad", and has shown this at every opportunity. After the coup prepared in Athens left the island once again as a bloody powder keg, Turkey intervened only to bring peace, and at the same time a lasting and just peace.
This is not an official documentary book. This is a booklet prepared to explain the events of the past weeks on this small Mediterranean island to the people of all regions of Anatolia, Asia, Europe, Africa and America, of different tongues, nationalities, religious and political beliefs, but who are all people of the same world.
The common problem of our common world is the principle of peaceful coexistence; but who has destroyed this principle on Cyprus and what has Turkey done about it?
The writer and editor of this booklet are not Turks... You can perhaps find in these pages the column of your favourite correspondent or an editorial from the newspaper you pick up every morning.
With an appeal for a world of peace and our respects... (Önsöz'den)
