Cypriot Turkish Archives
- Scope & Content:
-
A collection of typewritten documents pertaining to Turkish-Cypriot organizations in the immediate pre-independence era.
ff. 1-47 : Files pertaining to Volkan, founded in 1955. The archive contains letters in both English and Turkish to various individuals, including Dighenis (nom de guerre of Georgios Grivas) and Sir John Harding, as well as a number of Turkish-Cypriot and Greek-Cypriot communities, and to the Turkish Cypriot nation at large. Some missives bear the name of the leader Başkan Bayraktar, "The Leader Alp Arslan", or Albay Fethi. The items were issued between 1955 and 1957.
One leaf regarding disturbances at various police stations and military installations in Nicosia/Lefkoşa (f. 29) bears the stamp of the Special Branch Police HQ in Nicosia, dated 20 September 1955.
ff. 48-60 : Documents issued by Dokuz Eylül Cephesi (9th September Front), including a number of letters directed to Georgios Grivas by name. Most items appear to date from late 1957.
Occasional handwritten notes throughout both collections appear to be from Colonial officials recording the place and date of discovery of particular items included in the archive.
