The rise of Turkish nationalism among the Turkish Cypriots can be largely seen as a response to the Greek Cypriot national „awakening” and campaign for union with Greece.
In line with the nationalist rhetoric that „Cyprus is Turkish”, Menderes predicated his declaration upon the geographic proximity between Cyprus and Anatolia, thereby defining „Cyprus as an extension of Anatolia”. It was striking that Menderes rejected partitioning the island into two ethnic states, a position that would define Turkey's foreign policy regarding Cyprus after 1957
The educational and political mobilisation between 1948-1958, aiming at raising Turkish national consciousness, resulted in the involving Turkey as motherland in the Cyprus Question. From then on, Turkey, would work hand in hand with the Turkish Cypriot leadership and the British government to oppose the Greek Cypriot demand for Enosis and realise the partition of Cyprus, which meanwhile became the national policy.
The Turkish Cypriot nationalism developed mainly in reaction to the Greek Cypriot national desire for union with Greece.
