But obviously they helped Türkiye and prevented a WAR before FALKLANDS
 
In 1974, USSR was concerned about the Greek junta annexing Cyprus and building NATO installation on the strategic island. The Soviet press justified the Turkish invasion as a logical reaction to the Greek intention of annexing Cyprus and transforming it into a NATO base. Pravda commented that the Turkish government had motivated its actions by the necessity to protect the Turkish-Cypriots and that it had decided to intervene militarily after making sure that all peaceful resources to solve the conflict had been exhausted.
