The discovery of copper on the island around 3000 B.C. brought more frequent visits from traders. Trading ships were soon bringing settlers to exploit the mineral wealth'
And? Greeks + Cypriots = Greek Cypriots. Did you see anything criminal or wrong about the above?
If the "TCs" decide to assimilate to Cypriots, we would gladly accept them as well, like we did with so many others in our long history.
Nope - but why didn't YOU include it? (again).... after all, it does help explain where the 'indigenous' Cypriots came from...
Because I was replying to a question of Zan about Greeks in Cyprus in particular. Did you miss that part?
