Alright, from what I've now read, it wasn't completely illegal invasion and it wasn't completely unacceptable either. Greece was trying to gain all of Cyprus to itself by uniting the two nations in a union. And we all know what Greeks and Turks think of each other (they want to kill each other). Since both sides liked Cyprus to be independent and neutral between both factions (Greek Cypriots and Turk Cypriots), it was partially Greece who provoked Turkey even when the Greeks had agreed on letting Cyprus be independent and neutral nation between the two nationalities and yet tried to annex the island which could've been very problematic later on for the turks living there.

Summary: I'm not going to change the map for now since it is a turkish satellite state basicly and in a bigger picture, it would be considered to be part of Turkey. I do not condone nor condemn the invasion and occupation of Cyprus since Turkey had some valid (but questionable) points for doing that.
