The question everyone should be asking is why isn’t there a…
“I'm Turkish Cypriot who is happy to adopt Cypriotism and WILL HAPPILY DENOUNCE TURKISHNESS!”
…option to distinguish patriots???
Because Pahitoui is an EOKA-B arsehole that's why!
He covered that one with ....
(a) I'm Turkish Cypriot who is happy to adopt Cypriotism but not at the expense of my Turkish Culture and Inheritance.
... saliently the same!
What are you stupid or something? Are these two the same?
Essentially, they are the same. Explain how they are NOT!
If the “Turkish Culture and Inheritance” is NOT expendable then how can it possibly be the same as denouncing it???
By the very act of not viewing it as expendable, one does not denounce it, hence saliently the same in this context ... unless you are an arsehole who does not expend nor denounce his false position!
Sorry Oracle, but its English 01 for you…
de•nounce
1. To condemn openly as being evil or reprehensible. See Synonyms at criticize.
2. To accuse formally.
3. To give formal announcement of the ending of (a treaty).

I now ask… is it possible to denounce something (in this case Turkishness) yet retain it?
The question was not about 'retaining' it ... but at the 'expense' of which is akin to 'denouncing' it ... Perhaps your Aussie English dialect is self-limiting!
Study the NOT operator for a while and then come back and I'll test you...
