I'm sorry but you can't act as though it was nothing just because it was so many years ago, I'm sorry but that's so lame and sad. Do you think Jews should shake hands with the German soldiers that tortured them and murdered their families just because it was a long time ago I don't think the Turks of Cyprus deserved what they got, but it was coming to them, and although it wasn't them themselves (it was their ancestors), they were (and still are!) there illegally. If I was a Greek or Cypriot of that time I think I'd react just the same.

So ask them if they prefer ottoman attack or not?
do they prefer venedics?
"Ethnically cleansed them, kidnapped their babies and forced them to return to shoot their own people, closed down schools, murdering them etc. When my Greek teacher's mother was a young girl, her and her family were forced to live in Constantinople. "
I dont understand none of this.
As I remember when the ottomans attacked cyprus, Greeks are serfs.
And ottoman give them their freedom, give them their land, give them their religious freedom and let them rule themself (Partially)
I dont understand what ottomans should do also.
Give them anatolia also?
Maybe you should read some history book, insteaded of listening your mad greek teacher.
