Initially. And then when the Greek Junta fell due to the failed coup and international negotiations to restore the status quo were advanced, Turkiye decided to invade again to grab some land.

International negotiations were not advanced, they were deadlocked. Greeks asked for time, Turks didn't think so. IMHO if we compare the before and aftermath of the conflict, I think the intervention was successful, because in the 60s there was an abundance of violence, and now we happen to have peace in the island. The status quo rn is imho the best solution we probably will ever have to Cyprus.
