According to a report in Turkey's Sabah newspaper, only 61,000 voters were born in Cyprus, and the remaining 100,000 voters came to the island from Turkey after 1974.

Hmmm... Let's say at least half of the Cyprus born voters r descendents of settlers; 30.000 TC voters VS 130.000 "TC" voters.

Actually, the sums don't really work out in that Sabah article because there are about 185,000 voters in total anyhow.
