I hate to break the news to you but back in 1974 Turkey gave the TC community 38% of stolen Cypriot territory to roam in, thousands of "free" homes with contents, businesses, machinery, the lot! It was like you won Lotto except multiply that by a factor of 1,000 yet today...Even when they try telling us how they're indigenous and we're not ....sorry but I'm quite sure that MOST GCs (like TCs) can trace their roots back to.... A BOAT...
I think we've covered the definition of "indigenous" enough times so far so that even you would learn it so the next time you visit Istanbul go to the town square, grab a loudspeaker and shout out in Turkish... "You are not indigenous because you came here in a boat so there!" ...and I'm sure they'll explain it to you a lot better than I can.
And in 83 we claimed it as a republic because the GCs had no intention of giving us back our rights under the Zurick agreement...
