I quoted it from a famous book named "handbook of Cyprus."

Handbook of Cyprus?

Let me see if I have a copy on my shelves..... Confessions of a Nymphomaniac ...... 1001 Nights in the Temple of the Vestal Virgins ...... Swedish Girls Go Mad in Napa ..... Pre-War British Main Line Steam Locomotives ...... Penthouse - The Complete Collection (Waterproof Edition) ....

How Cyprus went under Mehmet Ali then restored back to Turkey?

At one stage Mehmet Ali revolted against the Ottomans over Egypt. Cyprus was then governed from Egypt - more or less. When Mehmet Ali slaughtered the Ottoman armies near Ankara, Cyprus then became Egyptian. I can find details for you later. Look it up.

Reading this link, you will see that Kavalali Mehmet Ali Pasha was quite an ambitious man. Have crushed certain Greek rebelions, he got too big for his boots. He wanted Egypt as a reward for himself. Including Cyprus. He also had a great part in the defeat of the Napoleonic armies in Egypt. It was his returning soldiers who had plundered Cyprs especially the Karpasia regions, because he was at odds with the Turkish admiral who was governing Cyprus at the time (The Kapudan Pasha). Some Turkish villagers on the peninsula (Karpasia are of the Arnaout and Albanian descent (especially Balaban). My friends remember his grandparents talking a 'strange language'. They also admit being of Albanian descent. All part of Cyprus' colorful history.

In Egypt, where I lived for some time, they call the man Mohammed Ali. If memory serves he was born in Kavala in Greece. His son Ibrahim is the butcher of the Peloponnese, he had been called in when the Turkish army proved incapable against the Greek irregulars during the 1821 rebellion and he proceded to methodically depopulate the area (sounds famliar?).

It was Ibrahim's excesses that led to the great powers getting involved and destroying the joint Turkish and Egyptian fleets in Navarino (Pylos). And that is why there are streets named after the admirals Derigny, Codrington, Heyden in Athens today and a square named after the British foreign minister who gave the go ahead, Canning.

Pylos harbor today is regarded as a naval memorial and no diving is allowed.
