I now seriously doubt your intelligence. What it says on the right corner simply proves it’s a Turkish source. The map clearly shows the so called enclaves were not 3%.
wrote: As for your map reading, it is no more accurate than anything else you have tried to claim so far. The red areas signify where there were many TC villages nearby – not the actual areas occupied by the TCs! For example, any fool who lived before 1974 and is alive today, knows that the red area between Limassol and Paphos does not represent their local enclave but signifies the volume of land they owned surrounding the enclaves.
Oh, yeah? So are you now going to dispute what your own people write on their so called 3% maps? Or are you going to invent a new definition for what an enclave was?The legend on the map clearly says: Solid red=
TURKISH CYPRIOT ENCLAVES Besides the map deliberately leaves out too many areas which were fully controlled by TCs. As for example inside the town of Larnaca, and Half the town of Nicosia.

Of course it is in conflict. I already said it’s a Turkish source. Man you are disapointing me more and more…
And what I actually said is this:
"The vast majority of people emigrated for better life. In fact percentagewise the percentage of TCs in UK is proportional to that of the GCs. And most emigration happened before 1963"
In fact you have to look at various sources to pick the reasons and the waves of cypriot migration. I already proved you from (yet again) another Turkish source the emigration in the 60s was due to the new commowealth laws on immigration, that almost coincided with the 1963 and 1967 events.The same source says "some TCs also emigrated because of the political events", therefore this was an added reason but not the main reason. All clearly told by Turkish sources. What else do you want?
See you ‘ve been feeded with so many lies over the years one has to use various Turkish sources to pick those lies one by one. One says this lie the other the other lie. But obviously no one would take them seriously f they containe ALL lies. They have to put some truths in.
Soooo, from this source you can pick up the truth that only 25,000 (1 out of 5) TCs moved to enclaves. So if 1 out of 5 moved into enclaves how they were packed in just 3%. Man admit it, the so called 3% was the Nicosia to Kionelli enclave.
From memory -I think it was in the Cyprus conflict web site- this 3% was first used by a student doing his thesis in Ankara. Yet that guy was clearly referring to the Nicosia-Kionelli enclave where he himself lived. It was a social study of his OWN LIFE. From there on others liked the lie and spread it like dust in your brains. Unbeleivable…..
NB.1) Not even the Turkish drawer of the map dares to say it was 3%!!
2)That map was first posted in this forum by Kifeas.
