If Ottomans = Turks, then Byzantines = Greeks. And the Byzantines ruled Cyprus for about 800 years, more than twice as much than what the Ottomans did. And that is without counting the Hellenistic and other periods of our history.
Unfortunately the world doesn't work like that my friend.
You spend all your time drinking wine and bumming other men then someone will come and bum you for as long as they can, as many people did
You are not simply GRANTED your lands just because you live there.
If people die for lands then you will have to die for them too, no one is going to give it to you just because you "ask" for it or live there, unless you mean more bumming of course
If by Hellenistic periods you mean the times when you were just settlers all around the place then how does that count as "ruling"?
And how the hell does the Roman Empire belong to the Greeks now?
Oh sorry I forget, everything great always belonged to the Greeks, silly me
