Violence erupted between the two groups in the mid-1950s, and Turks began to move out of sectors of Cypriot towns in which there were Greek majorities, and establish their own enclaves.

In Sura II of the Koran the Prophet advises: "O believers, prescribed for you is retaliation touching the slain; freeman for freeman, slave for slave, female for female."
