Do the Tc's agree with Ericas comment regarding the exodus of TC's and the settling of mainland Turks in northern Cyprus?
This statement cannot actually be attributed to Eric, who appears never to have an original idea in his life. It is the translation of Denktash's famous comment at a time when his feifdom was hemorrhaging its native population as fast as settlers could be brought in from Anatolia:
"Giden de Türk, gelen de Türk"
However, I would also be interested to know how many TCs here agree with Denktash's remark. My personal experience leads me to believe that even the most chauvenistic, partionist TCs detest the settlers from Turkey.
