When I set my mind to something . . . I usually get my way.

And Humanist is going to increase the GC population whether he likes it or not!

thnx phoenix ........ though I want to have children I don't necessarily want a partner. though that would be nice also. but they don't have to be two in the same

Seriously, what would the literacy rate be for the illegal Turkish settlers?

Good point you have made there phoenix

If we had some idea of literacy rates in Turkey, they may be an indicator.

However, it would be interesting to compare and see if the settlers had a higher rate of illiteracy than the mainlanders . . . suggesting Turkey may be sending over its more troublesome sections of the population.

Hello

What is the actual total population in Cyprus? (whole island)

My guess is around 1.3 million since we have:

800 000 GC in free area
100 000 foreign permanent residents, workers (legal/illegal)
50 000 greeks (Pontians, etc.)
350 000 TC & turkish settlers & turkish army in occupied area

What do you think?

OK have a look at this site and see if it fills in the gaps:
