- Abstract
This article is dealing with the history of the postal services of the Turkish Cypriots during a period of political and social crisis, 1958-74. The rising EOKA organization and activities firstly against the British subjects on the island and then against Turkish and Greek Cypriots, who did not support EOKA activities, caused several disruptions in communication and communication means. Despite the founding of the Republic of Cyprus dated 16th August 1960 seemed to put an end to the political crisis at first soon problems continued to exist leading to Turkey's intervention of 15th July 1974 on the island to protect Turkish Cypriot rights. It is recorded that during this period rights of communication were restricted and this in fact makes the history of postal services during this era even more interesting. The history of the postal activities, however, has not been studied much and most of the information of this article derives from interviews made with Turkish Cypriots who have lived during this period.
