cypriot only

I toyed with that for some time which is why I took some time to vote, but I think that Cypriot Turkish is more interesting and colourful for society. Many of my relatives in Cyprus take part in Cypriot actives of Cypriot Dances, singing in mixed groups etc. It works very well. They are very comfortable to be different and yet take part together.

I voted TC, but I would of voted CT had I read the poll properly....

Erm T_C....did you not see the "other" option?

Per RoC 1960 Constitution there are only two types of Cypriots: GC & TC. Thereby, cut the crap and stop asking stupid questions.

They are included in the GC community. Read the constitution.

They are identified in the constitution as separate groups. The fact that they are included with the GC's as a community does not mean they do not exist on this island.

Article 29 Part III of the constituion

29. The Armenians, Maronites and Latins constitute three separate religious groups in the island.

This is right just for the purposes of religion. But read this also:

Under Article 1 of the constitution it is provided that Cyprus will be an independent and sovereign Republic with "a President who shall be Greek and a Vice-President, who shall be a Turk, elected by the Greek and Turkish communities of Cyprus respectively (Article 1).

Under the constitution the Greek Cypriot community comprises all citizens of Greek origin. This includes those whose mother tongue is Greek and those who share Greek cultural traditions or are members of the Greek Orthodox Church (Article 2 (1)). The Turkish community comprises all citizens of the Republic who are of Turkish origin, whose mother tongue is Turkish, who share Turkish cultural traditions or who are Moslems (ibid paragraph (2)).

Citizens of the Republic who did not come under the above provisions were given three months to exercise the option of becoming, for constitutional purposes, a member of the Greek or Turkish community. Under this arrangement the Armenian, the Latin and Maronite religious orders opted to belong to the Greek Community.

Sorry DT my Turkish took over all my senses momentarily.
It was meant to include Greek only as well as “In the mirror”, something went wrong and it went all wrong.

I thought about the other populations but applied the Turkish Barrage system of minimum 10 percent of votes required. Sorry I thought that Other would be sufficient. I apologise to all others
