The Turks then killed 20.000 people within days, which was the 10% of the population of Cyprus.
In recent times the biggest slaughtering was done again by Turkey in 1974 when they killed some 1000s of Cypriots. And then you come to call a conflict where a few 100s of GCs and a few 100s of TCs died as "genocide".
If there was a genocide during that time then the population of TCs would have decreased. Not only it did not decrease, but it increased both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the total population. So cut the lies.
Here is a quote from a Council of Europe report:According to the censuses which took place in Cyprus before the factual partition of the island, the Greek Cypriot community amounted to 447,901 (78,2%) in 1960, and to 498,511 (78,9%) in 1973. The Turkish Cypriot community numbered 103,822 (18,1%) people in 1960, and 116 000 (18,4%) in 1973. The total population of Cyprus was 572,707 in 1960 and 631,778 in 1973 (see Appendix 3, Table 1). An average rate of annual growth for both communities between 1960 and 1973 was similar and amounted to 0,8%. In consequence, the ethnic distribution of the population did not change between 1960 and 1974 and the proportion of each community remained stable.
So when did the "genocide" you talk about happen? In your dream?
You still don't get it do you moron?
Never mind, it's skin off your nose not mine.
