So, how many types of Turks are there, and where are they located?

Know thine enemy ... Which are the types which occupy Cyprus?

Keep your enemy close to your heart, there they cannot harm you.

Where on earth do you find so much hatred.

I suppose they 'up the stakes' depending on the amount of resistance they met?

Actually, that may not be universally true ...

Take your pick from:

ex-Yugoslavs...Kossovans, Albanians, Croatians(Hirvat), Serbs

ex-Bulgarians...Pomaks, Bulgars, Turks

ex-Romanians

ex-Georgian (Gurcu)

ex-caucasians...too numerous to list

Tatars

Kurds

Greek converts

Armenians

Arabs

even Ottoman Turks and others from other Turkic states.

..and others I have left out, because I cant be bothered.

Do you still insist on your impossible quest?

I know there are many leftover mixed-ethnic people in those areas who escaped slaughter from the Turks (of whatever type) ... but I'm just trying to figure out which lot from the many tribes which make up the "Turks" were responsible for the devastation of Europe and which ones now occupy Cyprus?

What are the unifying traits which make them Turkic? Is it just language or religion?

Most from the above list were escaping from the Christian barbarity. From the Serb, Croat, Romanian, Russian Greeks etc. You Europeans called it 'freedom ' from the Ottoman yoke. 'Massacre them, they are only moslem' was the motto.
