The difference here being a) we know for a fact that these people were indeed victims of a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing by Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots (which by the way, in the civilized world, is a crime against humaity) and b) that the victims are still denied their right to return:

Nice list of Cypriot villages. What puzzles me is the inclusion of Galatea (Galatya) and Galiniporni (Kaleburnu) and Gonyeli in that list. To my knowledge they were totally TC villages. I noticed a few others but whose counting. Can you please revise your list as some forumers will not accept the slightest error or exageration.
