Unfortunately history is history and facts are facts.
THERE IS NOT A CYPRUS NATIONALITY- THERE IS A GREEK , THERE IS A TURKISH NATIONALITY BUT NOT A CYPRUS NATIONALITY. THERE IS JUST A CYPRUS CITIZENSHIP.
If you support a different base of facts you are historical wrong.
There are not Greek speaking Cypriots and Turkish speaking Cypriots. There are Greeks and Turks.
Who are th Greeks Cyprus?
2000 years BC or what You have in Moulslim religion Greeks from "Mykines" Greece for trade reasons approached the island.They brought their culture, language and they overcomed and overcovered any other calture in the Ilsand.
Who are the Turkish Cypriots?
Ottoman Empire,when invated and occupied Cyprus on 1578AC brought shelters from Turkey, as Turkey did also in 1974, the remains of hese shelters plus some Greeks who became Mouslims in the necessity of survive in an Ottoman Empire state created the minority of Turkish Cypriots.
Above my friend are facts, not result of propaganda or my opinion, just a Historical fact.
Now , Turks are saying that they were under pressure of GREEK CYPRIOTS and , by help of Mainland Turkey they want itnepenent state in Cyprus.
Please be fair and understand why Greeks, and not Greek speaking Cypriots, must give equal or similar rights to a minorty of shelters.
Maybe because of military power of mainland Turkey?
May this is he reason for some decades soft reaction of the Greeks of the Island but history is not created by some decates but by thousands of years and therefore Turkey has secured nothing in the Island.
One "Turkish Cypriot" newspaper asked some years ago how it happens Greece to have rights in Cyprus at the time, as country never invated the Island o occupied the Island.
The Ansewr my friend is that Cyprus original citizens were always Greeks, no need fo invation and shelters. We just born Greeks- You happen to come as visitors after invations.

TOTIS MILIOTIS, why did you have to write all the above, many of which are no less rubbish than what some Turkish Cypriot fanatics do post here?
What is it that you want to say in the end, and what solution do you want to suggest in Cyprus?
Are you saying that because the Greek Cypriot presence on the island dates long before any Turkish Cypriot presence, that we should get rid of them because they have no right to exist here?
Are you saying that because according to you “there is no Cypriot nationality, no Cypriot people, no Greek Cypriots and no Turkish Cypriots, but only Greeks and Turks;” that there is also -for example- no Australian nationality, no Australian people, no Greek Australians, no Italian Australians, no English Australians, but only Greeks, Italians and English people?
Are you suggesting that -besides solving the Cyprus issue according to your "ideas," that we should also reshape the geo-political map of the modern world on the basis of your "theories?"
You know something TOTIS MILIOTIS? Logic is an ancient Greek word, art and virtue! Logic is something you do not seem to be of much in possession! Following your illogical approach, I should have also claimed that you are not a real Greek person, because you do not possess enough logic!
