Turkquake!

Having flitted around the edges of the Ottoman Empire for most of
this season, now we’re going straight to the jugular: the heart of
that empire, the city of Istanbul (or Constantinople, if you
prefer). In this episode of Conflicted, we tell the thrilling story
of the epic historic conflict between two peoples, Turks and
Greeks, practising two faiths, Islam and Orthodox Christianity, a
conflict still manifest today, most painfully on the divided island
of Cyprus. The invasion of Cyprus by Turkish troops in 1974 was yet
another egg in the face of the declining British empire, one of the
defining events of the Cold War period, and a living witness to the
ongoing clash of civilizations in the Middle East. Listen to
