Is this what they teach you at schools?
The reason I ask these questions is that I see a lot of inconsistencies. For example you refer to the Ottomans as being some others, VP is telling us that TCs were once the rulers of Cyprus, in the article you gave is mentioned that about 40.000 Ottoman soldiers that invaded Cyprus "formed the original nucleus of the fledgling Turkish-Cypriot community", and yet other times TCs claim no relation to those Ottomans and their crimes against Cypriots.
Of course all that history would be irrelevant if we had all agreed that regardless of what happened in the past,
today we should create a normal democratic Cyprus without racist descriminations.
However the TCs are trying to blame GCs because of what a tiny minority of GCs did in the past, totally forgetting their own share in the crimes during the exact same period, and that the "nucleus of the Turkish-Cypriot community" was formed by those soldiers that butchered 10s of thousands of Cypriots.
So I find it highly hypocritical from those TCs that reject the proposal to leave the past behind and finally have democracy with no racist discriminations, and are instead stuck in the past claiming that more or less they have been the innocent victims(!!!) and we are the evils(!!!) and that gives them the right to violate our human and democratic rights today and in the future.
