Dramatic Change in the Occupied Area Demographics

According to the results of the recent census in the occuppied areas, the population was counted at 256,000 of which 140,000 were settlers. Out of the 140,000 settlers, 67,000 acquired the so called TC citizenship while another 111,000 were born in the occupied areas. In total 178,000 have the so called TC citizenship.

The TC newspaper Ortam claims that Mehmet Ali Talat carries the biggest part of the responsibility for this dramatic change in the demographics. According to the newspaper since Mr Talat came to power, the number of Turks that settled in the north rose from 34,000 to 78,000, an increase of 44,000.

Kibrisli newspaper wrote that nobody understood the results of the recent census while Africa wrote that the census did not really answer to the question of what the exact number of TCs is.

[Piratis]

So the TCs that have been brainwashed to believe that them being an 18% of Cypriots doesn't make them a minority are now a minority again even in the illegal pseudo state.

If we theoretically assume that TCs achieve their aim of partition, then what they would effectively manage is to make themselves a 0.01% minority among Turks, as opposed to an 18% minority (with lots of privileges) in a democratic, EU member, Cyprus. Today Turkey wants to maintain an image of a supposedly independent "trnc", since this is what serves their partition aim. If however this aim is achieved, then Turkey will not have any reason to even maintain this image. And thats when TCs will wake up and see that they are in fact ruled by the Turkish army and they have no authority whatsoever for anything important.

A united Cyprus would serve the interests of all Cypriots. It is time for TCs to wake up and realize that democracy and human rights are not inventions of GCs, but universally accepted principles, and if they continue to reject them, and they continue playing the game of Turkey, then one day they will certainly regret it dearly.

Oh no. Not this one again. Another few years and the GCs will start publishing that there are more Turks in the North of Cyprus than there are people living there.

They already are observer!!!!

It is a sad story and another step in Turkey's objective for partition and then annexation of the north part of Cyprus. The fact that all these happen under a left TC leader makes it even more sad.

[Pyrpolizer]

Observer I have 3 questions:
1)Do you live there?
2)If you do then can you distinguish between a settler, a settler born there and a real TC?
3)If you can then what do you see around you?

I personally can tell from looking around me how many the pontians are and how many GCs were married to foreigners. The biggest increase in GC population in my opinion is due to brides and grooms imported from abroad. I would say 1/4 -1/6 GC couples today are married to a foreigner.

[Sotos]

I would say 1/4 -1/6 GC couples today are married to a foreigner.

More like 1/10 I would say. It is not that easy to understand the demographics just by looking around. It depends where you live and what things you notice. Observer the report is according to your own census. We didn't make up those numbers!!

Please guys, no need to "pretend" that you are actually upset by the fact that the TCs are deserting the island, you are just pissed off that they are all being replaced by Turks, face it, you have strategically shot yourselves in the foot, and are trying to shift the blame on Turkey!

Pyr, i can spot a TC, a GC, and a Turk who immigrated or was born here, from a mile away, and to be honest i have never seen the reflection of these "figures" on the streets of the TRNC EVER!

In fact the only time you will be able to see many Turks and foreigners around you, would only be in certain areas such as Famagusta where the student population is pretty large, also Karpaz area is pretty much only Turks, so what is your point?

How did we "shot ourselves in the foot"? Turkey's actions are criminal, illegal and inexcusable. It is a classic case of the big fish eating the small here, everything beyond that is just the excuse to cover up this very simple fact.

Which therefore means the settlers are concentrated in particular areas of the occupied areas.

[shahmaran]

How did you not? You wanted the TCs out, and here we are almost all gone, but instead the Turks are here, and you are homeless, so what do you want, a bloody medal?!

Well good work!!

Oh and i know you love to quickly jump in with your clipboard ready full of answers, but when i say Pyr i mean Pyrpolizer, not Piratis!
