Not sure which 'we' insan is referring to but here's an alternative TC view:

STOP THE GENOCIDE AGAINST TURKISH CYPRIOTS
The Turkish Cypriot people living in North Cyprus are subject to social, cultural and political genocide in North Cyprus.
Since the year 1974 the settlers from Turkey have been coming to the island in large and increasing numbers and now they make up the overwhelming majority in North Cyprus.
On the day, 19th of April, 2009, the elections took place in North Cyprus, where Turkish Cypriots were heavily outnumbered and overwhelmed by settlers from Turkey. Turkish Cypriots that was eligible to vote numbered around 60.000 and settlers 100.000. Turkish Cypriots are now pacified by Ankara in a well planned and programmed assimilation which is utterly against International Laws. The result of the elections (a victory for the corrupt and right wing National Unity Party) DOES NOT reflect the Turkish Cypriots' will, it has been forced down by Republic of Turkey via the illegal settlers.
The mechanism of "TURKISH REPUBLIC OF NORTH CYPRUS" is being used as a tool by Turkey to pacify Turkish Cypriots, citizens of Turkey are being made citizens of so called "TRNC" in groups of hundreds and thousands.
The elections that took place in North Cyprus are against the international laws and are biased from the core, as the settlers who only favour and consider the interests of Turkey, vastly outnumbers the Turkish Cypriots, who are the REAL and rightful residents of the island.
