The point is you can't find even Turkish sources supporting the view that most TCs emigrated in the UK just because of the events of 1963 and 1967. In fact most of them describe the various waves of TC emigration and attribute them exclussively on economic reasons, and the post war economic boom in the UK after the 50s.

Here's a typical example:

1. The Turkish Cypriot Community

The Turkish Cypriot community has been in Hackney the longest. The first immigrants came to England between 1930 and 1950. They came from a rural agricultural background with little knowledge of English and little formal education. (Education beyond the age of twelve was only provided to those who could afford it, and was dominated by the sons of wealthy families).
The original settlers were single men, most obtaining jobs in restaurants and hotels where there was no need to speak or write English. Later on, sisters, and brides-to-be, who would then work alongside their husbands (or brothers) as washers up etc, joined these settlers. Members of this group are now in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and they have raised their families in this country.
The second group of settlers came between 1950 and 1970 in the post war boom period of the British economy. Some came over as a direct result of the political events in Cyprus.

Well? You've just proved why one would expect more TCs to be in UK than GCs. The fact that the first settlers came between 1930-1950 does not mean a lot more did not come later on!

So why are you scared to provide a URL for that quote. Is it a case of more information proving you wrong being in there? Come on Pyrpolizer, let us have the URL for that quote then!

I am off now, I'll have a look if you actually disclosed your source or not tomorrow - thanks for all the fun everyone...

@zany

So was Birkibrili's father because TMT (your own paramilitary organisation) branded him a traitor.
But then again your became an expert in crying and trying to load all the blame on others.

[Get Real!]

I can't wait - I find you very entertaining indeed...

AND who counted the 300,000 GCs in London? What is the source? Or is this going to be a case of Turkish Coffee and Greek Coffee.

The truth is no one counted how many GCs or TCs really live in London since they are all recorded as Cypriots on entry. Your sorry attempt to put a figure to it from an unsupperted political Greek source is laughable here let me have a good laugh first:

Stop ranting and tell me where this figure of 300,000 come from? I rather not quote anything rather than make a fool of myself with unsubstantiated quotes! ENDAKSI RE!

Quoting nothing and claiming victory is even worse! Anyway, if you want the ultimate source on all that then the UK bureau of statistics has to be the place so we’ll have a look at that at the earliest possible. If you have the time do it tonight but I’ve got a party to go to soon otherwise I would.

You see it’s not your 6ft 2” torso that worries me bigOz but it’s what you’ve got up in your attic that does...

Btw, you haven't told us your ATCA alias yet...

Afraid???

You must be flying at too many G's my friend and that makes you dizzy.
I haven't given the link because it's a Word document, not an Htm.
But since you insist here it is

http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/people/ ... ypriot.doc

In case your browser does not open it click "save as"

Happy now?

NB. As for the proof you "discovered" that there must be more TCs in the UK than GCs based on that document alone, I think I will start questioning your IQ.

That document is a Turkish source. I posted another document previously talking about "massive waves" after 1974 remember? well guess who that massive wave comprised of?

Here's a lucky guess for you: TCs???

[Pyrpolizer]

Ha, ha, ha the writer of that document must be a cousin of Zan.Crying all the time and blaming others for his misfortune. Here's what he says:

As can be seen, if the three different Turkish-speaking communities are taken together, they would be the third largest group of homeless households (596), after Africans and Whites.

Thank God, in Britain the British rule otherwise the writer would blame the GCs!

Done my ctrying a long time ago Pyrokiks and now am just telling it like it is. You are the ones crying about the land you lost sooooo long ago to a braver and stronger nation. You are just trying to make it seem as if we had nothing to cry about but you have. Cry away baby because we will be there a long time to come to wipe away your tears. We know how you feel.

[Pyrpolizer]

Yes I know you 've been crying since the age of 4.

I also know you belong to the "braver and stronger" nation that can only win a battle against someone who is 140 times smaller. Hey zany guess what if that makes you feel proud, so be it man, how else could a mosquito feel like an F16?

[Pyrpolizer]

And find something better to distort my nick ZANY. It really laugh at your incompitence. The fact is when I joined the forum I was arguing with Kikapu, and he cursed me many times, I also cursed him back. I later apologised of course, it was a mistake from me and pure misunderstanding.

Besides I never had a "rendez-vous" with him but you did have one with Viewy haven't you?

[zan]

What you are not Kikapu...........What a fool I have been

[Pyrpolizer]

I wish i were. He "sins" every night.
