1 im turkish cypriot
2 im greek cypriot
3 im turkish speaking cypriot
4 im greek speaking cypriot
can you tell me the differance between the two and what it promotes
free cyp ...i dont understand 3,4 ....what is cypriot ..another language ..both ethnic groups have their own local language ... pre 74 people meeting on common ground ...ie ..in business ...most of the people spoke GREEK FROM CONSTANTINOPLE ... this a old Greek with many arabic and Turkish expressions ....ie karposin ..not pattica for the words watermelon
also it was common for Greek Cypriots ...living in areas with many Turkish CYPS to speak to speak Turkish too for certain conversations.
indeed back then many T.C sent their kids to Greeks schools at 7-11 years of age but divided up at teen age ...to separate schools.
but nope ..i dont know nor have read of the language ..."cypriot" so your statement is confusing
