...crowd broke through the police lines and overturned Land Rovers and trucks. At a Ford agency garage near the Mosque of the Dancing Dervishes, flaming gasoline-soaked rags were flung among the brand-new cars, and soon the building rocked with the explosions of gas and oil drums. A Greek-owned tobacco factory was put to the torch, and fire trucks were held off with a hailstorm of bricks and paving stones. Tear-gas bombs thrown by the outnumbered and disorganized troops were picked up by schoolboys and hurled back. Three Turks died by gunfire as they drove through...

"Whenever a Turkish community has lived under Greek rule, it has been exterminated." When challenged by reporters, Dr. Kuchuk changed "exterminated" to "dispersed."

...been accused of straining that alliance by his quarrel with Greece over Cyprus. But to a considerable extent, Menderes is a prisoner of popular feeling that Greek rule in Cyprus would be intolerable for the island's Turkish minority -a feeling whose full strength first became apparent with the 1955 Istanbul riots in which hundreds of Greeks were injured and at least $25 million worth of damage done to Greek property. Many Greeks are convinced that Menderes actually encouraged and organized the riots. "The alliance continues but the friendship died," says one Greek official...
