New documents link Kissinger to two 1970s coups
Release of CIA’s ‘Family Jewels’ provides insight into political juggernaut and Bush Administration adviser.
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger pushed for the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and allowed arms to be moved to Ankara for an attack on that island in reaction to a coup sponsored by the Greek junta, according to documents and intelligence officers with close knowledge of the event.
Nearly 700 pages of highly classified Central Intelligence Agency reports from the 1970′s, known collectively as the “Family Jewels,” are slated for public release today.
However, the National Security Archive had previously obtained four related documents through the Freedom of Information Act and made them public Friday.
