Or a people exercising their right of self-determination...
Even if minorities had a separate self-determination (and they don't) they would be able to exercise this
self-determination over themselves and what belongs to them.
So even if there were two separate "self-determinations" in Cyprus, Kerynia, Morfou, Famagusta and everything else (with the exception of some small villages spread around Cyprus) would fall under the GC self-determination, not under the TC one, since the vast majority of all those places are GCs, and therefore, by definition, could not fall under a TC
self-determination.
On the other hand, the majority of the population of Eastern Turkey are Kurds. And if minorities can have self-determination, then eastern Turkey would fall under the Kurdish self-determination, not under the Turkish one.
Kurds are the biggest nation without their own independent country.
