Yes in Cypriot its called Varosha, in Turkish its Maras.

At least VP has further established the real Cypriots from the foreign settlers.

"Forget all the other names it's now called Maras"

in relation to the Cypriot town of Varosha?

Playing silly buggers again "The Cypriot".

Just pointing out your hypocrisy. Again.

Now? There's been a Cypriot language for millennia, rooted in Koine, used throughout the eastern Mediterranean since before the time of Christ.

is it in your constitiution?

No. Divisive educational policies and the media have marginalised Cypriot, as well as Gibrizlija, in favour of standardised language forms from the respective ‘mainlands’.
