Turkey takes all of Cyprus minus Akrotiri and Dhekelia

What if Turkey had taken the whole of the island of Cyprus, minus Akrotiri and Dhekelia in 1974?

Would we have seen heavy emigration to Greece and the United Kingdom?
 
In that case, Turkey would install an all-Cyprus puppet goverment on the island. Cyprus would not be annexed, but put under a close relationship with Turkey. Some of the more hard line pro greek activists might emmigrate, but the rest will probably stay. I think that its more likely that *less* pepole leave the island because of no partition.
 
Before Turkey takes the rest of Cyprus, the Greek military would have reinitiated their support of the Greek Cypriots. Remember, during the military intervention, Greece pulled back their units and stopped supporting the Greek Cypriot military units. As it was, the Turkish government was under extreme pressure to stop where they were (via NATO and UN).
 
Would they have time to do something about it? A day or two more of fighting would see turkey with full control of the island probably
 
Honestly, the battles were not widespread across the island and pretty much contained to the Northern middle of the island. So to say Turkey could have "taken control" in 2 days is not accurate.
 
I know by 1974 the Greek people were more than fed up with the military government, but if Turkey took the entire island (save the British bases mentioned), would that have been a bridge too far? Would the Greek people support a war in that case, however unlikely a win?
 
According to a survey by Kapa Research published in the center-left newspaper To Vima in 2002, the majority of the electoral body (54.7%) consider the regime to have been bad or harmful for Greece while 20.7% consider it to have been good for Greece and 19.8% believe that it was neither good nor harmful. In April 2013, the Metron Analysis Poll, found that 30% of Greeks yearned for the ´better´days of the Junta. (from wiki but still a quote from a published report)

The Junta outcome was similar to what happened to the Argentinian Junta that collapsed after the Falklands War.

To answer the question though, normally when a country (Turkey) invades your land (Cyprus), it galvanizes the public (in this case Greece) to be very patriotic. In fact, when the invader outnumbers the defenders (40,000 to 10,000), then the public normally becomes very sympathetic to the underdog (Cypriot National Guard).
 
Then you have a huge anti-Turk sentiment in Greece and with NATO's neutral response, the Greeks begin to slowly break away from NATO and have closer relations with the Soviet Union.
