Abstract

The issue of Cyprus has been a national case in Turkey since 1950s. The first trace which started this fire in Turkey was Kıbrıs Notları (1949) written by Hasene Ilgaz after the trip to Cyprus with a group of teachers after this in Turkey. Traces about turkish Cypriot has been started to be worked on. Especially, between 1st April 1955 when the attacks started by EOKA, to 20 th July 1974 when the Happy Peace Attack done, a lot of writers and poets took this topic as the subject of their writing traces. Nowadays, we can see that kind of traces. In last years Çılgın Türkler Kıbrıs (2012) by Turgut Özakman as a documentary novel and Kıbrıs’ta Üç Türk Çocuğu (2010) by Hüsamettin Tecmen as a novel, show that the issue of Cyprus is still alive. Another trace which has been written in post years is Kıbrıs’ta Türk Olmak (2009) by Mehmet Topal as a historical-documentary play trace. Mehmet Topal, in this play, took the tragedy of a soldier, Nihat İlhan’s family, which has been murdered by Greeks as the subject of his historical-documentary play.
