Nothing changed for them since the middle ages. They still like to invade and occupy the lands of others, but in the end the biggest losers are their own people who have to live in a 3rd world Nazi state.
That said, I think the discrimination between "Turks" and "Christians" was obvious during the Ottoman rule. Not only the Christians paid 2 times more taxes, but they were also discriminated against in many other ways. A Christian testimony was not accepted in the courts for example. It was natural that many Christians would be forced to change religion to have a better life, and the result was "Turkish" Cypriots.
