The 9 September Front (Turkish: 9 Eylül Cephesi) was a secret Turkish Cypriot pro-taksim paramilitary organisation formed to counter the Greek Cypriot Fighter's Organization EOKA and Enosis.[1]
History
The organisation was formed to counter the activities of EOKA in 1955 by mostly untrained volunteers.[2][3] Organisation failed to grow up to a national scale and be effective in all of Cyprus.[4] In 1958, leaders of the organisation decided that they aren't enough to achieve their goals separately from other Turkish Cypriot organisations, and abolished itself to merge with Turkish Resistance Organisation.[5][6][7]
