Do you acknowledge Greek "mergers" like those with Slavs and later with Turks? 
I am not avoiding anything ... but you are incapable of rationalising. To you it is all or nothing.
If one couple "merged" than the whole culture was a
myth or had no influence or did not have others who could still claim being of one descendency or another.
Yet you apply a different set of values to Choirokitians.
With all the evidence of so many friendly Greek exchanges over thousands of years between the Greeks of mainland Greece, Asia minor Greeks, etc and Cypriots, you still
deny that today's indigenous Cypriots are as much Greek if not more so, than they are Choirokitian.
I am not trivialising Choirokitians, I am just respecting their means of survival, through Greeks, and their descendants' right to recognise their Greekness, as much as, possibly, some vestiges of Choirokitianism.
That doesn't change their nativeness because the population grew enough (between let's say Choirokitians and Greeks ), over the thousands of years that Cyprus became a recorded country. So, those are the indigenous people, the earliest arrivals to establish a recognisable culture. There just weren't enough people around then for
total isolation without extinction.
Even the Aborigines of Australia mixed with Maoris and Polynesians etc. Even the North American Indians shared common ancestry with Inuits and even some Asian groups.
So stop imposing unreasonable, illogical mock situations for Cyprus just because you think the Turks will leave Cyprus.
We have far more realistic options using our allies in the EU ... but that's too boring and reasonable for you!
I don't intend to burn out trying to get through to you; I have too many calls on my time ... but I would like to see some interesting debate without setting out to prove the unprovable (history) with the wildest sources of "evidence" imaginable ... the sort of
trash students are warned about before doing even an "A" Level essay ....
