Although substantial progress has been made in the study of the Cyprus question in recent years, no comprehensive thoughts, analyses and conclusions have been drawn to the popular mobilization for the Cyprus issue in Greece, from the Summer of 1954 until the Spring of 1956. This research article aims to objectively bring light upon this very important period for the future course of the Cyprus problem. It is about examining the involvement of the student movement in political developments regarding Cyprus in 1956, rather than a detailed presentation of its history. Thus, it aspires to provide a basis for discussion of the most important factors that led students to form their movement, to become politicized, and to express their views of paramount importance to the further course of Greece and Cyprus. This research article attempts to present a detailed analysis of the student movement in Greece regarding Cyprus. Not only the Left but also large sections of public opinion from the Right and the Center were involved in this popular debate around the Cyprus issue. This is of particular importance, because at the height of the popular uprisings in May 1956, slogans surfaced, calling for Greece exiting NATO and the "Athens -- Belgrade -- Cairo" axis were insisted upon. Additionally, public slogans demanded the break-up of relations with the West, the adoption of a neutral foreign policy and becoming part of the Non-Aligned Movement. The majority of the public opinion indicated that the national interests of Greece were not met in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and that those previously seen as the protectors from the "Communist threat" had become, for the Greek public, the opponents of the international rights of Hellenism. In addition, there will be an attempt to present the opinion makers on the basis of their influence in creating the student movement. An essential prerequisite is the understanding of their role and how they succeeded in influencing popular mobilization and even pushing this to extremes in the Spring of 1956.
