ok here is something from wikipedia if you remeber i translated for you

source wikipedia ;

at 1570 the ottomans took the island from venedicians

population of cyprus was 150.000 and mostly venedicians

venedicians was chatolic and the orthodox greeks in the island didnt have rights to open churches in cyprus. their population it was about 20.000, after ottomans took the island 30.000 from the soldiers and their families moved to cyprus. also 5720 families as well moved to cyprus with the order of the ottoman empire. after ottoman empire orthodox greeks had all rights to open churches and full rights how all countries people had. 1878-1923 ottomans rent the island for the uk by agreeing aginst russia if they have any problems uk will support ottoman empire.

in the world war because ottoman empire lost the uk refused to give the island back. but with the losan agreement no.23 madde turkey gave the rights to uk for his rekognition but in same 23 madde they still had rights if anything will change they have to right to decide. after 1923 many turks moved back to turkey when it goues under uk control

1923 -1960 is one of the worst days was for TCs. english goverment decided that parliment of cyprus will be 12 greek , 6 english and 3 turk but this wasnt really good for TCs because population of the cyprus half was TCs. 1931 GCs start actions about enosis and parliment was dismissed. after 1933 its changed to 4 greek and 1 turk in the parliment. after that greeks start to work hard for enosis .

(Kıbrıs, Lala Mustafa Paşa komutasındaki ordu ve Piyale Paşa komutasındaki donanma tarafından, 1 Temmuz 1570'de başlayıp 7 Ağustos 1571'de Mağusa'nın Venediklilerden alınması ile sonuçlanan bir seferle Osmanlı İdaresine girdi. Bu tarihte adada çok az sayıda Ortodoks Rum vardı. Çünkü Venedikliler Katolik idi ve Ortodoks Kilisesi'ne yaşama hakkı tanımıyordu. Osmanlı imparatorluğu Ortadokslara serbestçe kilise kurma ve gelişme imkanı sağladı. Böylece adada Ortodoks Kilisesi gelişti ve Katolik Kilisesi etkinliğini kaybetti. Görülüyor ki, bugün Türkler'i yok etmek için her türlü yola başvuran Rumlar, varlıklarını yine Türklere borçuludurlar.) please someone translate this with good english thanks
