If the state had not intervened in Cyprus to cut thallasemia by pre-marriage testing every other person would still be jaundiced as a mango. I got the 45 000 figure from the annan plan era, i seem to recall that was the amount that was being floated for marriages between TC's and people who had turkey as place of birth.Seriously do you think that transferring such large amounts of people from Turkey was the "right" thing to do so soon after the conflict?
Most people did not have issue with the amount of people brought but more with the type of people brought. Unfortunately we got the poorest of the SE and alter on hatay sent here and everything that was associated with that. The TC government at the time knew full well it was happening and even encouraged it to help our political circumstances in any future negotiation. Lets not pretend this was fully imposed on us.
Also, when have you ever had trouble with a black sea settler?
No matter what ethnic origin and what education the settlers have; the biggest problem with them is the GC properties and land they occupy.
